Yeah, I made like $15 since monday and I haven't even sold my foil. I won't mind if Valve continues to add cards in this pace.

Let's see you say that when all of a sudden you'd rather make badges than sell cards, I get the drops and I'm like shit, now I gotta lay this foundation level 1 badge.... then you fall into the trap and start spending dat cash. Yea no, not even going to leave Steam running on a throwaway Windows install just for the cards, nope.
I've had my card makeover.

Cards. Not even once.

I don't understand people that don't want to idle for cards for games they already own. It's credit/money. What, are you guys upset that it's only ten centers or possibly only one buck?
It's still money.
It's still money.
I'm grinding achievements. For a movie. To get all of these achievements, I need to buy DLC for this movie. To help pay for said DLC to get achievements for this movie, I'll have to idle this movie which I have already watched previously, in order to get trading cards.
WTF is even going on anymore.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Bizarreo-world. Best not to question it.

Both work fine, I've been playing through with a controller though. Platforming/movement is better, aiming is worse. Combat is easy either way.
what?
why would I want useless badges?

0 worries. I mean if you find yourself trapped over cosmetics or a meaningless number then sure, it might be a waste, but I couldnt care less about cards/badges/levels/whatever. All I know is I went about my day while leaving a game playing in the background and at the end of the day I made $10 appear out of thin air.

This is one of the most amazing ploys I've come across in recent memory.

I really like the artwork on the Indie Game The Movie cards. Anybody know who did them?
You get 3 cards an hour idling. You can sell them for maybe $0.20 each. That's $0.60/hour.
I can understand how some people might have better things to do with their time.
eh, it's double clicking something. You can even launch the game you actually wanna play while idling for cards in another
I can see how someone might even find that to be a hassle, but in my case for example I have only a debit card as means to get steam money, and it's such a pain to go to the bank to deposit fuckin.. 5 bucks, that I rather just idle a couple games if I can
Let the games idle and go watch some TV or something.

listen to the mad man
and in the mean time it's probably taxing your processor and definitely costing electricity
The whole point of idling is you aren't actively doing anything. You can idle a handful of games all day while you're nowhere near the computer, come home, and make a couple of bucks on a couple of minutes of time spent listing them.

Yeah, I've stopped idling now that prices are so low. Not worth my time or the CPU/GPU load.
Hmm do you have any more keys? I have regular CoH2 but not the DLC :[

That's the great thing, though. You don't need to be in the game to idle. You can minimize.

I said that too bro... at first. Be warned, be very warned.
I'm just saying that instead of selling them it does happen to be more fun and rewarding to actually craft them to me, also yes, electricity. The amount of money to be made for your limited pool of drops has a much lower ceiling than the alternative, which happens to cost you.... therefore aliens.

Looks like the card market really did crash.
Got kicked out of dota. Come on valve!
Edit: What if steam never comes back online.....
Hell no. K/M you have a million times better aim.
Then we all migrate to Origin!

Goddamn, I thought someone stole my steam information because I wasn't able to log in.
Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking the people who do idle for cards. I mean, whatever, it's your time and your electricity bill. It's just the thought of downloading a game, idling for cards, and then selling those cards for Steam Bucks makes me wish I had a gif of Al and Buck Bundy (from Married With Children) in one of their "but what if Monopoly money was real money" moments.
I've learned from the Quick Look of Kerbal that it's not a game about succeeding so much as it is a game about failing gloriously.
