GSM wouldn't even find Hotline Miami or Guacamelee for me, let alone the more obscure shit I play. Manual backup for life.

bad gameplay lol
I'm wondering this too.
Actually what I'm wondering is if it's even worthwhile to bother going for the Summer Sale badge at all. I have three cards now, and I'll get two more for Green's inevitable victory, and another once I buy another game. Wondering if I should just sell them or actually try to go for the badge. I guess the only reason to go after the badge would be the chance of getting a team change item that could possibly sell for a lot?
It found it fine for me. Did you even update its databases?
Doesn't work with playfire credit and it will likely be cheaper on steam (w/ russian discounts).
It's baffling why people are still stealing for these prices when today's already decided: http://steamcommunity.com/market/search?q=summer+adventure+points

um. no way this point thing is legit. Green has 300k more than everyone else, while the other teams are within 100 points of each other....when most people have been on the same team? Not a chance this isn't sketchy.
I'd recommend switching to List View as you can then sort your library by Steam Cloud support. No distinction is made between a Steam Cloud-supporting game that has data stored versus none at all (faded icon = game supports Steam Cloud but isn't installed; bright icon = game supports Steam Cloud and is installed, with a question mark being added if Steam detects a conflict between the data stored locally and that stored in the cloud), but at least this way it's immediately obvious whether or not a game supports Steam Cloud.
Nope! Not available on Russia, and it's not going cheaper than what it already is currently on Brazil and the US( 62% off. Brazilians are trading it for 10 tf2 key with dlc included)
The folks at reddit have a collusion thing going.
playfire credit is irrelevant when you want to buy it on steam, and the discount just last week was 50% so it will probably just be that again
but hey, I was just trying to help. Stupid me I guess

.............. Now it makes sense. This guy has been posting this on every color subreddit and people are actually following it i guess. What the fuck?

Great post, never knew that Valve is actively hiring psychologists.
The badge can actually get you TF2 items that sell fairly well. Since I got the badge I've been selling the rest in order to craft regular game badges.

If you mean valve why would they want a runaway winner? Wouldn't they want 2-3 teams to be close to boost market sales? I'm on green and with the amount of the lead I've started to wait until day 4 before crafting again.
My plan is too sell my cards as I earn them and the if I still fell like crafting a badge at the end I will just buy the all set then for a lot less then I am selling them for. If this sale repeats the last few then these cards will drop in price like a rock the last couple days.

lol so it is rigged, just by reddit
COLLUSION!
Anyway, this "event" is getting out of control, it's very manipulative with it's gameifacation (spend x get y then turn y into z and get y)

No. They will

The only sound strategy. Card prices have started to drop.
at the very least their value with vanish.

Even if they don't vanish, their value will drop like a stone. Last summer's cards were going for 1p/2p when I sold my last one a few months back.
Still doesnt make sense that people are burning bonus/steal point tokens which sell for a fair bit in enitrely nonsensical ways, actually the idea of widespread collusion being "behind things" would make that less likely.
That's probably because there was a recent rumor that 2014 was being delayed to 2015. The second half, anyways.

The cards WILL disappear.
Well, that explains why the results have been so lopsided I guess. I can't believe people are wasting so much money in doing this though, I mean I'm assuming people are buying and swapping to the winning team every day to be able to point boost so much?
MMBosstones86

wow. Now it makes sense.
I'm actually very surprised Valve didn't make the teams random daily to at least limit the collusion.

No the people who are on a certain team are just hoarding their cards until the day their team is supposed to win. Then they just SPLOOGE and craft everything all at once.
Right now, the cards are hovering around $0.30 to $0.40, taking the average of those multiplying them by 10 would net you around $3-$3.5, the cheapest team token is currently standing at $7.39, and I expect them to shoot up in price once a team goes hamm like green did yesterday so expect around $10-14 in profit if you do get the winning team token.
One question though:
What guarantees you'll end up with a team token? So either gamble on the summer badge or sell the cards for a guaranteed profit.
reddit isn't the entire internet, but it definitely encompasses a lot of it
I can see this happening legit
lol valve doesn't care, they are making a shitload of money of all the saps crafting useless stuff ;_;
The cards WILL disappear.
Yeah, and just to clarify, that warning has been there since the sale started. Same deal as the Winter Sale cards -- they expire an hour after the sale ends.
And still people didn't lower the price of their cards to the absolute minimum when the sale was about to end. Some people just wanna see the world burn...
I can't imagine just that'll cause such a large lead though. I guess maybe some are jumping, and others are hording.

Oh i get it. They are just printing money at this point. It's actually pretty amazing when you think about it. The meta-game has overtaken the actual game here...the conversation at least in this thread is dominated by the color talk.
Didn't the market crash during the last winter sale, and winter card prices rose to 22 bucks each?
Why would Valve try to "fix it"? This is not cheating it's the apex of cooperation. Pretty cool of the PC community if you ask me. I'm in.
Also today is Pink day. Whoo!

Exactly what I'm doing, wait till they hit 15ish cents each like the last sale.
There's actually other entries in the series, just like the fourth one they were flash games.
