Took me 7 hours to drop 4 Showdown Effect cards (Worth the wait, got 1 foil). And now I'm playing Super Sanctum TD for 3 hours and only dropped 2 cards. Is it a bug or something ? And the worst is, I have 16 games with card drops right now.

Tried getting Gunpoint to drop cards yesterday, wasn't registering game time on my actual profile page until I closed the game, which (naturally) didn't get me card drops. That's probably part of the issue right now, if games aren't doing that for just me

You, um... You realize you can minimize it, right? It's not like you're just staring at the main menu, waiting for the notification to pop up all day. I'm idling in a game right now, doing what I would normally do on a day off.

You also realize that card drops are meant to be a nice addition while you actually play the game? No one expected you to just mock about for 3-5 hours in a game, to get a few cards worth a few cents. Okay I understand some people have beaten the games that they have drops in, in that case they can minimise, but if the game is good it might be worth a genuine replay.

I don't know much about this system, but it really took around 5 minutes to get new card every time

I think your level or the number of drops you've already gotten affects it a bit. At the start of the day, I get a drop every ten or fifteen minutes, but after idling in two or three games for five or ten drops, it starts getting closer to an hour.

So your saying steam level affects drops ?

I'm not sure what exactly, but I think Steam does make drops take longer after some time. Maybe it's number of drops you've gotten in a week? Or maybe number of eligible games? Or maybe it's just that they've made all drops take longer and I'm just looking for connections where there are none.

I've played Super Meat Boy and Terraria, both 1 1/2 hours each and still didn't get a drop. That sucks. :(

They've been slow across the board for the last couple of days. Dunno why, but I used to average 1 every 15-20 minutes but not lately.

Yup, took me ~8 hours for only 6 cards. Not sure if it is a bug or a new feature.

Yep, it's been taking a long time for me too. I thought it was just. It was working fine Wednesday and Thursday because my Tomb Raider cards all dropped pretty fast.

How to be great at card drops:
Install game, turn on game, return to Start Screen, go to sleep.

In the morning, all the cards for the game will be there.
