there are people with higher levels, it is impressive how people like to play the trading card game
... I don't know what's more terrifying: this thread or the one about the guy with two dicks.

I remember when Valve announced the cards and its market, how a lot of people said stuff like "this is useless! Collect electronic cards? Puff" "Can you even make money with this?".
I wonder how much has Valve earned just in this sales with the taxes of the cards. Probably at least 500k.
May you show us the Maths?I did some quick math using the data from the marketplace listings of the sale cards. They made about one million from their cut.
May you show us the Maths?
as of a few hours ago:
total sold: 706910
total spent in cents: 15688818.0
That's insane.Sure. I'll walk through one example.
Take #8 for example.
steamcommunity.com/market/listings/753/267420-Snow Globe #8
If you view the page source, you'll find a line that begins "var line1=". That's a javascript array of (Date, median price, # of sales) tuples.
If you add up all of the sales, and trust that the average is roughly the price of the median you get:
Code:as of a few hours ago: total sold: 706910 total spent in cents: 15688818.0
Valve takes a 5% cut, but rounds up. Considering each hour's worth of sales as all having the same average price, Valve gets something like $10249.44 for globe #8. The other cards had similar numbers, so something on the order of one million in total.
To be fair, it's better than having 30,000 sale cards sitting on the market with no one buying them like the summer sale.Holy shit.
Valve is going to have an uncapped-level card every single major sale now, aren't they?
Virtual trading cards; who would have thought of that?More proof that Valve is light-years ahead and more competant than other publishers.
Such a shame you can't get a better look at your badges.Here are all the badge pics. (Foils too!)
The whole way these cards are implemented is pretty disgusting. i think that if it were a different company doing this they wouldnt get as much as a pass.

What's wrong with the implementation of this and how exactly is it disgusting?
Thats a really good reason to give a shit.they don't even do anything, why give a shit?
If this were any other company (Microsoft for example)i have a feeling there would be an absolute shit fit and rightly so. Since its Valve and Steam using manipulative psychological ploys to get peoples money its pretty much a-ok.
Its completely manipulative?
Is it manipulative when Amazon offers a pay-it-forward store credit with your purchase that has to be used within a month and only works on select titles (all of which are more expensive than the credit, which can't be stacked)?

you can gift other people using that store credit and they pay you outside of Steam.Once the money goes into Steam there is no way to cash this money out right? If you make $10 selling every card you get, you get nothing more than store credit.
