Real CV value is a far better indicator of won:sent, as RAW value is very misleading. For instance, with $50, I can buy either a $50 game and get $50 RAW value, or I can buy a buttload of bundles and get several hundreds of dollars in RAW value.
TLDR: Your criteria might actually be preventing people who give away unbundled games from entering while allowing bundle farmers to enter freely.

Oh do you think it's better to do a real CV Value Ratio ?
Comment has been collapsed.
Real CV value lessens the impact (to a degree, at least) of bundled games on one's sent:won value by reducing their value to 15% of retail, while unbundled games retain full value of the current Steam store price.
It's entirely up to you, though. I just wanted to explain how RAW value is very misleading when considering how much someone has actually given away. I noticed a couple of people in your previous thread with amazing real CV ratios who couldn't enter because RAW value doesn't reflect in any way the quality of the games they've given away.

Ok I understand.
I will close this thread and redo a real CV Value.
I want to do something fair like steamgifts who calculate 15% on bundled game.
As a not english people steamgifts tools is somehow hard to understand...

Oh in fact I don't have to close the thread, juste to remake the GA and the sgTools link.
Thanks for your help m8.

By the way do you know if SG show the Real or the Raw value in a profile ?
Comment has been collapsed.
If you're asking how can you validate the winner, you can do that on the SG Tools site.

SG shows the raw CV on the profile, but if you hover the mouse over it, a popup shows the real CV instead. This works both for sent and received.

Please once you get the link, keep it private !
Maybe someone has mentioned it in the other thread already, but I figured you'd want to know that you can check the winner with SGTools itself. If they haven't passed the gate, it will tell you, and SG support will grant a reroll. I'm not sure how it works, but I think that can get them punished on the SGTools side as well; someone else will be able to tell you more about that.

I dont know but if you share the link you will get less chance for you to win -)

I don't think people care about that. I imagine there's probably a group somewhere that share's invite links like that for people who can't get past the SG Tools check. That's why I would verify the winners.
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd like to say that there can't possibly be such a group, but I know better than to underestimate people's ability to find new, ingenious ways to break rules. :)
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd like to think there isn't one either, but when it comes to getting stuff for free, there's always a few people who will resort to any means necessary. So I wouldn't be surprised. At least SG allows for rerolls in this case. :)

Pretty much what KillerRabbit932 said: there are probably lots of people who don't really care and will share the links. Sometimes someone might do it by complete accident, so I don't really like to point fingers, but that doesn't mean there aren't people doing it on purpose. Kind of sad, really. ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ

Yeah, verifying the winners is the closest thing to a solution. Thankfully SGTools makes it easy enough. :)

Aaarh, I want to play Far Cry 3 and 4 so much but refuse to buy them because of the uplay requirement on STEAM. I am tempted to enter the giveaway though, hmmm.

Thank you, I'm actually interested to what You promote rather than the giveaway itself :D

just inform you that i can pass the sgtool but my ratio should not pass point 3 โฆ does the link updated?
Comment has been collapsed.
Your real CV ratio is ~1.115 and the minimum is 1.0, so you should indeed pass.
The old link (with raw ratio) had 1.5 minimum ratio instead, but that changed in the new link. Maybe that confused you?
Comment has been collapsed.
Therefore I am qualified ?
Thanks for the giveaway ! :) ๐

Hey, just wanted to bump this for a great giveaway, and I think using real CV is a really good idea!
Comment has been collapsed.
Seems like my real CV ratio is lower than 1, but thanks anyway. You are doing it right IMHO. I think every giveaway should be like this - the better your CV ratio, the better chance for you to win something. But it is not working that way here and that is why I almost stopped entering giveaways. But I already have more games than I need. I want to giveaway to generous people too, but the CV levels are not exactly corresponding to someone's generosity here.
