Contributor level going down.

Open
d33s

Hi everyone !
I realized that my contributor level is going down sometimes after creating a giveaway.
Exemple : I was at 4.22 and two days after I am at 4.15...
I would like to know if the price of the game is a level changer in a retroactive way.. Maybe the price changed on Steam and the level is linked to it ?
Stay safe and have a nice day ! =)

You have answer in your post (change of price on steam). Also some games as marked as bundled or free with some delay.

You can also directly reply to someone, then they get a notification.

In short if you gotten a game for free, big chance your CV will drop, buying directly from steam, key resellers or bundles are ways to get more permanent CV.

You're right and I'm not in the "free keys to grow my CV" thing.
In general, keys comes from Humble, Fanatical and Steam.
I thought it could be a problem too to give "bundled keys".
Thank you Lugum.

I said this in another question, and I had about 10 people jump on me telling me I'm wrong... but the FAQ itself says that if the current price of a game goes down, so does the CV you get from it, and it's retroactive to every copy of that game you've ever given away. This time I'll quote the relevant line so maybe I won't get attacked:

"Values are calculated based on the current USD prices of games in the Steam store. If a game lowers in price, the value of previously created giveaways will adjust accordingly, and this will be reflected on profiles and levels."
