Mathalor Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) Here you go with a good example - one of the most popular Kickstarter game projects in recent days:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1581450659/worst-game-ever?ref=discovery I would never buy a steam trading card, or buy a game to get a steam trading card. Getting cards for the games I was going to buy anyway is okay with me. Cause, why not. That project linked is totally up front about what it is, looks like it'd be fun, and has an amusing theme. Unless they give you a 1/200th of the possible cards and sell booster packs, it's not fair to compare that with trading cards.

Prudent Viper Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Out of interest, how 'rare' are these rare cards? I've been playing games through Steam for a while now, and have yet to get anything better than the regular cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerHead Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Pretty rare - look at the prices, people are willing to pay a few euro for those. To what end, only they know. To me, it's a way to show off "I like this game" on the profile, nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kordanor Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I guess I got around 100 Cards till now. Of these 0 were rare. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccrunner1756 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I collect the cards for the games i like. I buy cards by selling the cards for games I dont like. No real point to it. For sure going to get the badges for xeno though Also the Josh eales card is awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrassBass Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Will this game be on sale before the summer sale ends? I am holding out just in case this game drops into my price range of less then $21. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinHann Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 It's highly unlikely as it is too soon after release and Chris has already stated it would make those who already purchased feel ripped off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrassBass Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 It's highly unlikely as it is too soon after release and Chris has already stated it would make those who already purchased feel ripped off. They could greatly increase the player base if they put it down for 25% off. I know that it was part of a community choice vote that lost. The people who bought it on steam knew that there was a summer sale coming, but decided to support the official release and buy it then. They would understand if it went on sale now.

TrashMan Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Meh. I see no point in useless collectable items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junker154 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Well, since they introduced those cards I made about 20 euros or so over a year. By simply gathering cards by playing games and selling them, I didn't even buy games solely for the cards. I got Torchlight 2 basically for free and that game is a blast.

Xintrosi Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I have yet to decide what to do with most of my cards, but I sell the repeats I get in order to make getting a full set easier. I like what other people have said previously: sell cards from games you don't like to get a badge for a game you do. The only problem I see with that is that it takes play time to earn cards; if I don't like a game I'm unlikely to put in the time required to earn cards.

Kordanor Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 But you can just start the game, minimize it and let it run while you are eating or watching a movie. You don't need more than 3 or 4 hours to get all the cards from a single game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Pancakes Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Pretty much. I've just been selling every single one I get. It amazes me how much people are willing to spend just to increase a number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoMask Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Well, you DO get crap like steam profile wallpapers and emoticons for crafting badges and some of them DO have nice artwork. Though honestly, they only get sold because gamers happen to be sort of people who like collecting crap. Seriously, I don't get collectible trading cards in real life either, I get trading card games since at least you can play those, but cards which exists just to collect them?... Yeah, don't get why someone would want piece of cardboard with baseball player or some crap like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
