Just press "Edit you Showcase" when you're on your profile page.
Then, select Super Hexagon.

Who's determining this, again? You, right?

Well at the very least you don't know how percentages work.

Which ones?
That is our working theory, we have yet to prove it.
We thought we were going to get there with Defiance, but the last week had a massive sales surge.
Your spoiler was actually exactly what I was going to say.
The boat mission lasts way too long.
No, its common sense, nothing else.
How do you know that? Duke is %50Off and i have a %50Off coupon, therefore that should give us $0 as the final price for the product.
Its not really that complicated, i hope i don't have to explain this again.
I don't see that.
I'm level 5. Does that matter?
:lol it is pretty awesome.
Riki, Tiny and Tusk.
A 50% discount applied to a pre-existing discount of 50% would reduce the pre-existing discounted price by half, not create a total discount of 100%. In Duke3D's case, if the coupon did stack, the final price would be $2.50.
I did say that you may need to be Level 10 to select a showcase item.

Yeah I think I'm falling into Poe's law hard.
A 50% discount applied to an existing discount of 50% would reduce the pre-existing discounted price by half, not create a total discount of 100%. In Duke3D's case, if the coupon did stack, the final price would be $2.50.

Anyone got a coupon to give me so I can see whether it stack or not
I was talking about discounting the game to %100 using that coupon, not to $2.50 by applying it to the current discounted price which is $4.99.
See, that also is not even possible, this is why i think its useless for me.
Oh sorry that was stupid of me :lolA 50% discount applied to a pre-existing discount of 50% would reduce the pre-existing discounted price by half, not create a total discount of 100%. In Duke3D's case, if the coupon did stack, the final price would be $2.50.

Which is not how that would work in any instance.
Just wait until you get to Engineering! And it is easy to conserve ammo by avoiding most of the spawns.

Always trolling my posts, eh?
You must be bored, i would like to assume?. Please refrain gently from quoting it if you have nothing useful to say.
Thanks.

That's the reason why i stated why this is uselss for me.
I like how people make a big fuzz out of nothing in this forum.

I have a handful but nothing that applies to a currently-discounted title. When the coupon system was first introduced, they stacked by default; this was changed when in mid-2012 Raptr was offering coupons for 75% off Serious Sam 3 at the same time it was on sale on Steam, which meant, with a little effort, people could buy it for just a few bucks. Later in the year, though, a "Winter Seal" website spat out Steam coupons, some of which did stack with pre-existing discounts, so apparently it's something publishers can, oddly enough, opt into (or perhaps the coupons pre-dated Valve's back-end change).
You said that the game should be free for those who have coupons. Mathematically, though, this isn't true: a -50% coupon applied to a game that's half off simply reduces the discounted price by half.

Wait, what? I still have a 75% off Shogun 2 coupon in my inventory and I was waiting for a 50% off sale, so that Valve would pay me 25% to buy the game!
Last time Forge was on sale my 75% off Forge coupon stacked with it, left the price at £0.91 I think it was. It might change before the next time it's on sale, evidently discount stacking still exists in some capacity, and I agree it seems to be a publisher dependent strategy. If it works next time I'll probably give it away on the forum, it expires in 2018.
Wow 2XP from 10 lol
What does it mean by 5 card drops remaining?
Don't Starve has 3, Dota 2 4, Half-Life 2 4, and Counter-Strike 3.
Oh I should try to avoid them then.

My post did suggest as much.
The question isn't, "Does it exist?" so much as it is, "Why does it exist?"CheesecakeRecipe

The amount of cards you can get per game is limited to encourage trading or buying the rest to complete your badge. F2P games like Dota 2 and TF2 allow you to replenish 1 card slot for every $9 you spend in game.

You can idle and get 5 cards from that game. You'll have to trade or buy the rest for a badge/emot/background. Try and see if you can get to level 10 before idling.

Sorry, I worded it badly, I meant to reinforce what you said not challenge it.
Thanks for the info guys.
I was hoping that I would log in and get some cards since I've already amassed hundreds of hours in those games.
If I add them up, I have 461 hours across Don't Starve, CS:GO, HL2, TF2, and DOTA2. All of those games are in my top 20 most played.
I should add that I never idle in a game in order to keep those times accurate.

Valve should make a trading card game where we use our cards in duels.
Yeah, I was thinking about that. Triple Triad style.
Valve is open to the idea, which would be awesome if only for the simple reason that we'd have an in-client game to fill the void left behind by Valve's canning of Steam Chess:
*sheds tear*

the Idle is what makes this weird. It would be more useful if they tied the cards to Achievements to get use to actually play our games. I had TF2 running at home for 3 hours this morning and got all my cards. What's the point, other than another level of the Steam Prison economy?
I miss the lime green Steam UI
remember this
Oh, Steam, you broken son of a bitch.
I didn't get broadband (if you can call 512Kb/128Kb "broadband") until late 2004, so playing CS 1.6 was a bloody chore and a half.
Not that I know of. It is 1200 Microsoft Space Bucks. I have no idea what that translates to in £, $, etc.

I hope Konami are going to go full Steam ahead with the Rising and the Castlevania ports.

I don't think I had broadband until ~2003 so I remember having to download CS 1.1 or whatever and Action Half Life and Firearms over 56k.
I think I still have my HL GOTY box somewhere
$15/15 Eurobucks (a little less if the publisher decides to not use the default $1 = 1 Euro conversion)/~10 pounds.
I wish I did; I'd be able to reclaim my OG Steam account. Mind you, since subscription and friend migration isn't possible, it'd be a useless endeavour at this point.
