Hello community!
As you may have already heard, SGv2 (Steamgifts Version 2, a new version of Steamgifts that cg is currently working on) will no longer feature a CV system - at least not in the current form.
In a thread on SGv2 cg suggested a new system:
I'm definitely open to alternative ideas for the contributor system. However, it can't rely on pricing, because it's a poor indicator of the quality of the contribution. It can't leave anything up to debate, for example, whether or not a game qualifies because it was in a bundle, free for an hour, or 90% off. Ideally, we don't care about any of these factors but rely on something else. Lastly, it needs to be simple and easy to understand.
I'll toss out an idea...
Your contributor score is the number of users that have entered your giveaways. However, each game only counts once, and we take the one with the highest entry count. For example, you give away BioShock with 1,000 entries, SpaceChem with 300 entries, and another copy of SpaceChem, with 250 entries. We take the unique games with the highest entry count, and you get a score of 1,300.
and already collected some pros and cons:
So before SGv2 opens its gates for another beta weekend, I'd like to hear your input on the matter.
Chances are, cg might implement a CV-alterative on SGv2 before the next beta, so we can all test and improve it.
Keep in mind, that this "score system" does not neccesarily reward user who invest a lot of money in the games they give away. Instead it rewards users who give away games that the community wants. (Though "reward" might be the wrong word, after all this site is about giving games, not about getting rewarded for sharing.)
Please make use of the poll in this thread and leave your (constructive) comments below.
It's your chance to help shape the future of Steamgifts =)

oh well, you just increased the odds for all other entrants :P
I've also set the dying link to 105 clicks (and used 1 myself for testing), so yeah, no big deal ;)
