Steam Cards love/hate

Well i think that is a good idea...i mean..it looks nice and fun to collect

But i'd like steam to leesen their fees !!

I am happy with this beta program, cards look pretty good and badges & stuff are nice :)

Not bad, I traded my cards and a few tf2 items to make my 3 badges so I don't really feel cheated since they are TRADING cards. If I had bought them, then I might've felt cheated.

I now have Batman AC Goty thanks to the cards so im happy :)

Valve does not force you to use the market. You can trade cards just fine with friends.

Hate

How do you expect people to respond thoughtfully when you do not explain WHY Steam making money with these cards bothers you? Also, why does it bother you that other people enjoy something that you do not, and that they are willing to pay for it? I am not interested in, and do not pay for: U2 concerts, live football games, or charity dinners with the president. I however do not begrudge others these experiences.

I just wish Valve had slightly different priorities when it comes to updates and stuff... Other than that, this is great.

I like free money..

So far I have made $1 by selling cards. It's not much, but it's $1 I wouldn't have otherwise.

They give you free stuff and then make some money in return. Seriously, what the hell is there to complain about?

earned 160 euro cause of cards... well i guess i love cards

I don't have problem with Steam Trading Cards, though a bit disappointed.

When I first heard of STC, I expected trading cards to be... more beautiful, like, MTG. I'd be more inclined to collect those cards if they have new, unique and professionally done artworks, specially created for trading cards. Right now, they are just small cropped version of existing artworks.

It like a small sale. I can buy HL2 for 10$ and sell cards on community market for somewhat 1-2. I know it's not a huge amount, but still.

I wanted a REAL Trading Cards, with beautiful art, meaningful purpose. Some personality. I got some cards that I can sell and absolutely need to spend money to get all of them. Or most. Or a lot. In order for you to get a badge someone most likely has to sell his cards and thus cant get it. Meh. :-(

I like it now I wish they would slow down on games that are getting cards and maybe have some better guidelines up like. I already know I will probably never ever have a foil badge and I sell those off ASAP. But I do trade around for cards with friends to get level 5 in each. Now just waiting for steam summer sale to get some games I don't own that have cards, and get more cards on the market.

I like them since I can sell them and get "free" games.

You have problems with the fact that other people enjoy something that you don't? Wow, let's not let you anywhere near government.

well it got me the blood pack dlc for shugun 2 free + some other dlc's free

It's a win win. Valve gets profit, card sellers also gets profit. Also card collectors get their own amusement by collecting cards and badges.

You can make money from cards, i know it's stuck to steam wallet, but money is money. You can buy a few games on sale if you manage things properly. I still got like 10+ cards to collect right now, i can make enough money from those and tf2 promo items to buy something like metro last light, except i won't, i'll wait for something better and more worthy of buying.

I don't mind the cards. bought myself 2 DLC's from the sales profit. I don't get people want to pay for these though..
