Ya know, tricking steam into thinking its running a different game in order to get cards to sell seems like something valve would be against and could take action on. Could just be me being paranoid. I don't even like idling. I try to play the games when I'm card mining.

Valve doesn't really lose anything in this. They still get their cut from the card sales

 

[Cheddahz]

There are people who doesn't own half-life 2?!

I don't think I own it. I had it on a old Steam account that I had back in middle school

 

[JaseC]

Seems this method is a better way if you want to play a game while "idling" in another game.
The playtime won't be correct though, and I wonder if achievement unlocking works..

Either way will work just fine in that regard also. The problem is that being in more than one game, regardless of whether or not you're actually in-game, significantly increases the drop time between cards.

Is this is still the case? Because I thought Valve fixed that and you could only get cards from one game and the rate stayed the same.

I still have a gift copy of hl2, lol, hope it works

It was last I tried, but that may have been when card drop times were wonky in general.

Yeah

 

[Milamber]

It's Free-to-Play. What could go wrong?

 

[Copons]

Ok I tried Candybox 2.

My god, what have I done?

 

[Dolor]

Is path of exile worthy?

Absolutely. If you like Torchlight-like games. Absolutely.

I remember having to play Half Life 2 in 30 minute bursts because I had small seizures and I got dizzy all the time I tried to play the game. And that boat level really tested my eyes on that matter to be honest.

I think a lot of people got motion sickness from the boat level, I did too and had to take a break.

When I played it on release I had no issues with it but I tried to replay it recently and I did suffer from motion sickness

 

[Cheddahz]

Path of Exile really is a F2P game. The micro-transactions don't kill the game and you'll be able to enjoy the game fully without paying a single cent

The beta was fun, so I'm sure the finished product is even better

 

[Motorbreath]

Since I love the game so and it's on sale, thought I'd grab a key for you peeps.

Thanks for Overlord 2 Hasney!!

 

[TheSeks]

Is path of exile worthy?

Yes. It's worth trying.

I'm liking it a LOT more than Diablo 3, but that isn't hard given how much they changed Diablo 3 from Diablo 2.

The gem system alone is worth trying it. I'm loving that compared to Diablo 2's.

Be a "Shadow"/Assassin that can raise the dead with a "raise dead" gem like D2's Necromancer but is an Assassin in D2? YES WE CAN.

It's Free-to-Play. What could go wrong?

I needed more stash space, so I had to buy it from GGG. Now I have to pay my internet bill for playing PoE 24/7 but I have no job. So I'm stuck sucking dicks in an Olive Garden, THANKS A LOT PATH OF EXILE?

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

I've got to stop unpacking boosterpacks. I haven't gotten a single foil from them. As a result selling the individual cards will only net me about two thirds of what the boosterpack was going for.

 

[Altazor]

Is path of exile worthy?

Absolutely! The passive skill tree and the gems system are really worth it.

 

[TheSeks]

I still haven't gotten a boosterpack. And speaking of cards: Path of Exile isn't giving ANYONE any. WTF? Is it because it's free to play? They might as well not have made it trading card enabled at that point.

[TouchMyBox]

But as soon as you stop unpacking them, they're going to start containing foils!

 

[gabrielt16]

Yeah it does work

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

No please don't do this

 

[Exuro]

I don't get this post. Why should you get sellable cards for a game you've put no money into?

 

[LiquidSolid]

Did Risen 1 and 2 only just get cards within the last few hours or was I not paying attention when I looked at my badges earlier?

 

[TheSeks]

I don't get this post. Why should you get sellable cards for a game you've put no money into?

Then why should I be seeing it's trading cards if it isn't going to give me trading cards? It's entirely pointless. I guess Valve finally has a game where people may buy $100+ of cards for a badge, but me? I don't see the point and since the game doesn't give trading cards out to give away anyway it's... entirely pointless... in clogging up my trading card list. But whatever.

It's the same for every f2p game. You get a drop for every time you spend a certain amount of money. I think it's every $9 for Dota 2 but I have no idea what it is for other games.


I got 1 foil to drop early in the beta. Nothing since. That's a lot of card drops with no foils. Normal card drops, booster packs, + I got 1 card drop during the summer sale for every $10 spent. I help a lot of people during the sales so it was a shit load of cards. No foils.

But otherwise you couldn't see what you could potentially get and then the complaint would be "Why is valve hiding this from me?"

They did.

Yeah, the problem is that 500GB is still free.

 

[Hasney]

Yeah, the problem is that 500GB is still free.

My Origin library has to redownload yet since the stupid thing needs everything reinstalled. That and Arkham Origins should eat up another 100GB of worthless space.

 

[Tenrius]

Talking about cards the Agarest War ones are still really high. 1 Dollar + for more than half of them......But no one is buying them

Mine sold fast enough.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Made some solid bank off of Dark Matter cards this morning, woo.

 

[doniewhalberg]

Thanks for the tips earlier guys, just cannot get this flyvpn thing to work unfortunately. Not really sure what the deal is, but just keeps telling me the remote connection was denied. Usually I'#m decent with this stuff, but just can't figure what the prob is.

 

[I H8 Memes]

I remember yesterday someone saying you could still find steam redeemable copies somewhere. Depending on how much the game sells for someone could conceivably make back the cost of the game selling cards.

[I H8 Memes]

I see. At $15 you aint making your money back on the game just by selling cards unless you get a foil. And then you still have to hope that it sells at the inflated market price.

 

[NotSelf]

Is Sniper 2 worth the $7.49?

 

[Camel Master]

I've bought six bundles in two days

Spoiler

Nice giveaway. DmC is definitely better than I expected, but it's still not the game for me. Amazing port by NT/QLOC.

Damn nice giveaway. DMC is an amazing game.
