What?
Something you gave away dropped in CV value. It's happened to me too.

that isn't nice, when i checked the bundled list, the game wasn't there, but after the giveaway it appears there :(

The humble bundle monthly games count as bundled games?
Comment has been collapsed.
Generally no. Whether a game counts as bundled or not depends on the percentage discount of the bundle. The Humble Monthly deals usually do not quite reach the threshold to be considered bundled games, although sometimes individual games in them have already been in a bundle and thus are considered bundled games.

The bundle list is updated by one person, who doesn't have the time to add everything instantly. If you know it is in a bundle, assume the value will drop.
Comment has been collapsed.
the important date is when the bundle appeared not when it got added to the bundle list.

It happens when CV values drop, as mentioned.
When I dropped down to 5 a few months ago, it was my cue to dump keys.

well something is currently wrong with your profile for me, when i checked your recent giveaways it only displays 18 entries despite saying you did 42 giveaways.

Multiple copy ga's only count as one entry on the side

Does multiple copy giveaways give more CV, or only value for one?
Comment has been collapsed.
there is no difference in cv between doing n giveaways for one copy or doing one giveaway for n copys.
but after five copys, you will get for each new copy 10% less cv (https://www.steamgifts.com/about/faq)

OK, thanks. I though that since entering a multiple copy giveaway only costs the amount of points for a single one, it might only give CV for one.

Games drop in price, from time to time.
Also, check your game on isthereanydeal to make sure it has not been bundled before, as the list here on SG takes time to update

yeah, i dont understand why if you give away a game that at the time is say $20 why when it goes to $10 or $5 or $0 you should lose your value, especially when you didnt put it up when it was at that lower value AND you are already receiving only 15% of its value because it is bundled, its obviously done to keep you contributing, shady tactic i think but whatever
and if you are still wondering why its because the price of something you put up dropped, i had a DLC that was $20 be given away freely sometime after so i lost $15CV when it got dropped to 0 for being given away (gave away 5 copies of it)
Comment has been collapsed.
If you gave it away before the free giveaway started, you would receive normal value. Price drops do affect any game though.
Are you referring to the Aerotrain DLC? It was bundled in 2013 and you gave it away in 2016.
Comment has been collapsed.
wow, tookem 3 years to get that added, i need to find a list for this sort of thing
Comment has been collapsed.
No, it took you three years to realize it was on the list. It seems that the DLC was removed from Steam a few months ago which is why it's now showing as 0P. Contact support and let them know, they could manual set the point value.
The list has always been public.

i misread that last line, i knew it was bundled, thats no problem, the problem is sometime after I put it up they went from $20 to $0
Trainz Simulator DLC: Aerotrai... (5 Copies) (0$ Total) (Public giveaway)
thought you were saying it was added as given away in 2013 but only done so in 2016, would be nice to get back my $15 CV ^^ (assuming its still a $20 DLC)

i made a game maker html 5 module giveaway more than 1 year ago, a lot before it was bundled, and it takes it as a bundled "game"
Comment has been collapsed.
Gamemaker HTML 5 module was added as a bundle on November 18, 2015 and your giveeaway was shortly after. Although, I can't seem to find the reason why it was added on that date.

You can always volunteer to
a. Monitor the entire SteamDB yourself and create a database of game prices over times
b. Create a brand new API for Steam
Until then, we are stuck with this.
Although it is always interesting when people want to get rid of the only thing that inflates CV. Especially when someone who cannot understand why they take so long to catch up on high level users do it.

Your CV dropped, so what?
So did mine, and that of many other users, but we didn't complain about it, and most importantly, we didn't send a useless ticket to the already overworked and undernumbered staff, to waste a few minutes of their time reviewing it and answering "sorry, we can't do anything about it", while complaining that they don't reply to it (because complaining that unpaid volunteers aren't quick to answer tickets for petty "issues" is cool, right?).
Since you gave away 5 copies of a 90% discounted game, you should've known, or at least expected, that it would've been added to the bundle list.
The general guideline is: if a game is at least 85% off, it can, and probably will, be added to the bundle list. That's being done to avoid for people with cheaper regional prices to take advantage of that, and raise their level for cheap with region-restricted giveaways.
Also, I'm pretty sure this thread will get you on many lists, dunno which colour, but most likely a dark one.

i'm sorry, but i don't care if you complain or not

As pointed out above, The Abbey appears to be what brought your temporarily inflated cv down to a more appropriate level but it looks like there will be more cv drops for you as well when the bundle games list gets further updated. All of these should also be added to the list and backdated to the sale:
Battle Of Europe
Ford Racing Off Road
Ford Street Racing
Port Royale 2
ORB

The Abbey has been a bundled game forever though.

CV drops can and do happen with retroactive effect as there's only one Shobo/bundler busy with the SG bundled game list.
Here you can see some examples of games that have a discrepancy between the date that they are bundled and the date that they are put on the SG bundled list: http://www.sgtools.info/lastbundled

Nothing wrong, you can close your ticket. It's the same for everybody.

It is sad but unfortunately, it is a very often thing. It happened to me many times. It's better to give aways more GAs than a level requires.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yes, you are right. And also once the value will drop to 15 % if the game is bundled.
Comment has been collapsed.
Everyone is subject to the same system. So, it's pointless to even complain about it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Why should I give away a 60 cv game if I'll eventually lose 95% of it's value ???
85% and you don't. GAs only get retroactively bundled if you created them after the Bundle has come out.
Comment has been collapsed.
why should i give games away somebody may like? dont know...
and as sundance said: you wont lose your cv if you created the giveaway before the game got bundled. but if you want to exploit the system you have to live with the droping level^^

I wonder what support answer do you expect.
