Add steam trading cards as accepted giveaways?

Nah, they don't have an exact value.

No. They're items, not games or programs.

Sure, why not. People want them for sure. Most are worth under $1, so add them as 1P giveaways.

I can't see the harm in it.

No, it's not cool -_-

Never

Not a bad idea. I like the way you think.

hum.... no

As long as they were a separate tab I would be okay with it. Mostly because I want the achievements for completing sets and lack items to trade for them.

good idea

No. How would you prevent regifting? How will foils be handled?

Card prices are not static though. How would the site deal with that?

If this was to be done, I'd suggest it was kept completely separate from game giveaways and CV. Maybe a totally separate section of the site?

Essentially these cards are things people receive for free (albeit having purchased the associated game at some point), and should be treated as such, rather than muddying the waters by including them with actual games. The precedent has been set for "free stuff", such as the free game from "The Heist" (Eets), games like Metro 2033, DOTA 2 keys, etc.

I don't have any major issues with this being included, but am totally against it being lumped in with the main SG site. Cards should not have a CV value.Maybe if giving is to be tracked at all, it should be done in "cards" rather than dollars, with regular cards being worth "1 card" and foils being worth 20, for example...

IMHO there are bigger fish to fry as far as Steamgifts development goes, such as linking game wins with sync records to weed out the cheats and abusers. When that's done, perhaps adding cards might be a little closer on the roadmap.

No thanks.

I'd do it as a way of getting rid of the extra points. Right now there are way too many points in the hands of SG users which results in less chance of winning each giveaway cause people enter giveaways they don't really want just cause they have too many points, so this would be a good system to fix that. Obviously no points would be awarded with the creation of TC giveaways, the feed would be a different one so as not to collapse the other one and the price could perfectly be 1P for normal cards and 20P for foil cards (I know they are all cheaper than that but remember that this would be a point sink system.)

no, they're cards not gifts. steamGIFTS, it would be possible but the giveaways shouldn't give contribution points and the whole list would explode of those card giveaways. If they would get your contribution points they should be at the bundle list.

I vote no.

the idea would work nice if would be a service in a different website sorta of "cardgifts.com" xD

I kind of like the idea, as long as it's kept completely separate from SG as it is. A completely different site perhaps.

To those asking "how do you prevent regifting"... I think the honor system could work here. The cards are less than a dollar, why do you care so much?

To prevent abuse, I would say that only people missing 1 card to craft them should be allowed to enter the giveaways. If they would win, the creator would give them the card and they would have to craft them in front of him (otherwise he reports them and they are suspended/banned).
People saying that people would abuse this too much don't realize that people already abuse many game giveaways, so those abuses should be stopped first anyway. I still think my idea is something plausible.

This won't happen.

nope.

Oh hell no.

Maybe but this won't happen.
