I see this Formula X game coming up.

Its a POS homework assignment-level project priced at $35 !

Just wondering how many points it's giving on giveaways?

Shows "*" so does that mean half-points? (ie 17?)

And also wondering how to get the admins to reduce the point value to 0?

Feels like the game only exists as either a money laundering avenue or for SG point stuffing.

"*" actually means 15%, not 50%.

see FAQ section: What are "No Value", "Reduced Value", and "Full Value" giveaways? How do they affect my overall contributor value?

" * " = 15% of Steam store price. As it is available for EUR 0.48 with eight other games in DIG Weekly Bundle 901 it should be reduced to 0 CV.

Was available for $0.10 in Go Go Bundle Limited #56 back in May 14, 2018 when it got marked as Reduced Value since it retailed for $4.99. The developer jacked up the base price to $16 on Jan 10, 2022 and again to $35 on Mar 21, 2022

It would be great if SG had a way to set a cap on base price increases to prevent this type of manipulation. e.g. if a game is added to the database at a base price of X dollars, its price can never be adjusted to exceed 1.3 * X

SG get the price from the steam API. I am not sure if a "max multiplier" limitation is, easy(?), possible in such a case.

It's possible if cg codes it, so yes... impossible! 😛

i thought that 1 star meant 15% of of what the game sells on Steam for in CV not if what your paying is 15% or more

Thanks for the link !

Q: How do you find a that bundle list/search page from the home page? (ie without bookmarking it) ?

If the twitch copies were 1k it could be added to the FREE category if someone make a ticket.

No, just a few I think. He usually lists these type of games for 5000 coins and they run out in a few minutes to an hour or two at most. He probably gets a handful of keys directly from the developers.
