Yeah i just got “trading cards” of GDT…
You got Steam trading cards (most likely). You can collect them all for Steam badges or sell them for about 10 cents each. You’d have to buy or trade for the others. A useless Steam gimmick.
I know, Steam trading cards… But why… cannot you play a real card game with it???
The Steam backgrounds are so lame, extreme lazyness alert going off here.
I’m quite fond of the card system. I’ve not spent any of my own money on it, just sell some cards and use the wallet cash to buy others (money dwindles in that case because of commission, but extra cards are injected into the ecosystem by booster packs). Badges give you levels, levels give you a greater chance of getting booster packs (and the ability to have more friends, and put ‘showcases’ on your profile). Emoticons… some are worthwhile, some not (I view them in a utilitarian sort of way, personally).
Plus every badge gets you a coupon for something on Steam.
