Oh God why
Steam have introduced trading cards. This site can explain it more than I can: http://steamcommunity.com/tradingcards/
Basically, you get digital cards for playing games that craft into a profile badge, background and chat emote. Unfortunately for me, I do not own most of these games, except for Counter Strike: GO and the free games do not interest me (Yes, including TF2. I know.)
You get half of the cards just for playing the game, but you have to trade and ask the community for the rest. For free to play games, you pump in money for stuff like mann co items to get more drops.
For people like me, this means that if I want to get all the cards for one game, I either need to pay 70p for each card on the community market, or hope someone gives them to me from the kindness of their heart. I doubt this will happen for a long time.
Should valve keep this system or change it so you can get all cards for free, but it takes a lot longer? Also, does anyone wanna give me their CS:GO cards?
