So, as most of you know, it's the Skullgirls free weekend right now, but I actually had the game before it through family sharing. So anyways, I just launched the game, played a bit and quit only to find a card in my inventory. Family sharing doesn't give you cards, at least, not that I know of. Free weekends don't usually either. So, what the heck? Did this happen to anyone else?

Maybe it's a bug. In that if you have two different records (instances) of a game on your steam account, then you can get cards. Maybe this is how steam blocked the cards with family sharing.
For example, steam would have a system that sees a bought game as 2 instances of the game, whereas family sharing and free weekends are both 1 instance each. So maybe they combined to trick the Steam system. Very simple example, but it's possible.
