Literally nothing -- your status will not change. It's impossible to idle in games you don't own.
Custom Executable Generation. It's what tethers a game's executable to the presence of the client.
Now... would that include games that can't be bought at the moment. Like Arkham Knight?

I felt kind of bad when I used the consumption item I got from crafting a badge... though it would have been worse to sell it so someone could use it to possibly steal from my team >_>. I wonder how rare those 1000 point items are... I doubt I'll see one again.
If the game has a 75%+ discount and is relatively cheap after the discount (under 7 bucks or so), I go ahead and buy it. Having it go to 90% or something in a daily is unlikely, and I am generally making the <$7 purchases with card money so it doesn't 'feel' like my money.
Everything else I'll wait until the last day, but I don't have any major purchases left that will go on discount this sale.

How do I level up? And what are badges? Can prices drop lower than flash sales? What's a misprice? It's not a daily or anything, but should I buy COD now or wait?
Please, please, please go listen to some real music.

I'll go in for 2 copies. So we just need a 4th then?

Doesn't help that there are tokens to switch teams, etc. Just such stupidity. Cannot believe anyone who sank more than $5/£2.70 into this "competition".
I'd understand it a little more if EVERYONE on the team got 3 wishlist games. In fact, I believe that would have encouraged far more buying of these badges, etc. But to spend the money you could get multiple games for to be essentially a lottery player? Dumb as hell.

Yeah I'm weird like that. There are some things that aren't listed on steam yet that would rank higher.
I feel hurt by all these derogatory comments about purple team.
Me too, brother.
It's racism is what it is.
We did not choose to be born purple.

I think it could swing either one on that but the buy orders give sellers more choice, sell instantly for x or see if anyone bites at y rather than have to set y and hope somebody bits.
Is it any better when it is people buying trading cards to craft into badges? The points stealing items are deliberately powerful (when compared to other ways of getting points) which feels like something an economist would come up with (the only counterattack is points steal items of your own...which you either indirectly buy with badge crafting or directly buy from "losing"* teams)
*-These teams are the real winners. Honestly, on the 27th when my wallet/marketplace unlocks I'll probably sell my Summer cards and hopefully end with a balance above what I started with (but not as high as it could have been had the marketplace restriction not triggered oh well...).

this is how you play la noire kids
You purple people are all the same, born with a silver spoon in your mouth, stealing the hard working man's points.
I hereby establish the Anti-Purple League.
Wow, all this time I couldn't idle for a few games because of the large download sizes, now the problem is fixed!
Thanks again, guys. I fucking love this thread - the best on GAF.
Best thing is for the game I'm using as my dummy, it gave an application load error but I'm still "in-game" with the intended game. Saves me system resources, too!

As much as I hate all this nonsense about the color teams (and wish all the color stuff would just get it's own thread and move out of this thread), this absolutely has to be the soundtrack of the Steam Sale:

Seriously, it's like all of reseller in Asia and some oil seikh crumpled to team purple.
Constant C?
Where does everyone trade keys for games?
Whelp I guess I won't be getting that.

Thanks.
So a bad port?
I need some good local-multiplayer game, is there any suggestion besides Metal Slug 3?
seriously... it's pretty embarrassing how well it's working
Pretty odd issue since the start of the sale, for some reason in Firefox Steam shows the market tab in Turkish and in Chrome it shows the market tab in Danish, anyone else having a similar issue? (Maybe its enhanced steam?)
Edit: Nevermind, sorted it out, back to the Queen's english

I'm stealing from the blue team.
I havent tried it actually, no idea on the quality
I thought it was really good. Did a full timeline run in 1 sitting (bout 6 hour) without even noticing

I like it a lot! Most prefer Game Dev Story, but unfortunately, that is only available for Android and iOS. I honestly prefer Game Dev Tycoon because it's on a PC, but if you're the type to play games on the go, then check Game Dev Story out instead. Hope this helps!

I noticed Bit.Trip games were doing this for me yesterday (fatal error dx9:failed to create fullscreen device).
I wish I had found out about that trick before nearly killing my Netbook with AI war.
Happened to me with regular steam. There is a language change setting somewhere in the top-right I think.
