    You are correct. Steam doesn't do enough to explain the cards.

  • @11th-lemon
    @11th-lemon Рік тому +3

    Thanks for the explanation. There are 2 things I don't understand:
    -How are people supposed to complete a set when no one gets enough card drops to do it in the first place? Even if you trade your cards from that set you will never reach your goal. Are you forced to spend money?
    -I noticed some games have only 5 cards while others have 12. Is there a point in getting cards from sets bigger than 5 when all sets have the same reward for being completed? Or is it a fool's errand?

  • @Y0sh1no5am

    I had 3 cards from lego Pirates. I sold them all and got 0.14 directly. I had total 0.15. I want to save for Lego LOTR that cost 19.55 And I do got other stuff in my market for sale but its slow. But I manage to assemble some cards from Dota and got 2 badges. Its really nice. I like this feature and wish I could learned about it sooner. Thx for the guides. :3

    Also a card will drop every 30 minutes as long as you have card drops remaining. You don’t even have to be playing the game, just have it running in the background to get the drops.

  • @KingTairun
    @KingTairun 7 років тому +1

    I'm sorry the whole concept is you will always get half that means you always have to buy the second half. it be great if you get 100% of them but randoms so you'll have to trade to complete a set. But get 50% at random rate and have to buy the rest to complete a set is consuming resources and time and all that can be invested in buying of a game instead of dealing with such nonsense.

    • @Jeourj
      @Jeourj 7 років тому +1

      KingTairun
      yea the only good thing about this, for those that don't want to invest in this, is the set of wallpapers you get - if the wallpapers are nice/high quality. or sell them for chump *Steam Wallet* change.
      i know on GOG,com some games have "goodies" which could be mp3's, flacs, wallpapers, etc. and each store page says if they have any. hell i have hotline miami on GOG and i have HQ wallpapers.
      just putting that info out there
