Before you could go into a games folder, and if it had a "steam_appid.txt" file you could open it and edit it to any game that you haves ID and save it. Then when you'd run the game, Steam would think you were playing the game with the ID you changed it to. It would only work on games you owned and it'd allow you to farm for the cards of the games you don't have downloaded yet. This came in handy for me since I have limited bandwidth (150GBs/month).

Why not use SAM instead? I've confirmed that it still works.

How do you use SAM to farm for cards? I never used it at all, but I thought it was only for achievements.

Oh wow, that is extremely easy and a lot less CPU intensive then keeping L4D2 open in the background :P thank you.

Why did you use L4D2 instead of something small, with a launcher, like SPAZ? (so you can just leave the launcher running, without starting game)

How do you open a game in text mode? More importantly, what is text mode?
EDIT: Found it. Problem is you need to have the game to use text mode. If you read my post, and I don't mean that disrespectfully, you'd know I can't download all my games because of bandwidth restrictions.

You can do it with SAM anyway, just type the apid into the box at the top. I'm not sure why the other guide on here says you can't.

I can no longer change the steam_appid.txt to farm cards for games I don't have downloaded. Can someone else confirm this?
