And there's still the fact that people can pass around save files or use other means to circumvent the work but gain the achievements. Sad to say, but no system using achievement-based progression will ever be honest.

Hmm. That's weird. I just bought Mark of the Ninja as a gift but it's not showing up in my inventory.

Serious Sam 3 cards are going for 32c smh. I get that people will viciously undercut prices (I do too) but come on...
Anyway, didn't see this one posted yet.
You may address me as the Director henceforth.
Is it possible to get more than one booster pack for a particular game?
It wouldn't be the same.

It kinda is if people were actually buying cards for the way higher prices and someone needlessly undercuts that for no reason whatsoever. Interesting stuff.
GFWL is a great example of this.
There is all kind of save game encryption, DRM, and other nonsense all designed to protect achievements scores.
And even after all of those checks, GFWL achievements are still easily exploitable.

2012 Thread 4 is flipping gorgeous.

I think I'm going to move my lettering to the left like this one, rather then centered. I also am going to use a higher resolution render of the background so it looks better, as well as add in the other Steam threads.

I think the next badge level is 250+.
This is an outrage. Deleting steam.

Nice, just got a booster pack for Trine 2.
My card and item inflated Steam Wallet is very prepared.
For a couple of days there were just two Strike Suit foils: mine and some other bloke's. He kept undercutting me even though he had every incentive to simply price his identically to mine. It was ridiculous.

Embarrassing that 1000+ is the highest level, that's barely even hardcore

Edit: If you mean by a member of GAF, we'll just have to wait 'til after the Summer Sale.

You should have bought his and built a foil monopoly.

Has it ever been 100% confirmed that Steam works indefinitely in offline mode? I remember seeing some "2 week limit" stuff a little while ago.
It's definitely not 2 weeks. Have had my second PC in offline mode since around January.

Maybe we wanted you to put your card cheaper so when someone bought yours he would have a complete monopoly. Then he could put his at a superhigh price.

Just give me an indefinite amount of time to go test it.
Haha, well, the market for this particular foil has crashed to ~$9, something his antics simply expedited.
If you put Steam into Offline Mode, exit, and bump your Windows clock forward two weeks, it'll say there's no log-in info. Seeing as we have GAFers saying they've used OM for several weeks or even months without needing to log in again, I'm thinking it's a bug, probably brought about by the move to SteamPipe (previously, log-in info was saved to winui.gcf), and I've put Steam into OM on my laptop to see if the error also pops up after two weeks despite continued use.

I expect periodic reports.
I remember that thread. Honestly that guy pulled that out of his ass, but he was on the first page so it got attention.
Its indefinite.

This is a odd glitch, my laptop said it before, but booted into offline mode today

Oh I just assumed that 1000 was the peak because I clicked on your profile and that's what you had LOL. I didn't even consider there might have been something higher.
P.S. It's not mod abuse anymore
Holy smokes. O_O That's pretty much the entire steam library.
Wait so, how do Booster packs actually work?
Is it :
- You have collected all the cards for a game?
- You have collected all the cards for a game + crafted a badge?
- You have received all your drops for a game and haven't finished a set?
- You have received all your cards for a game and sold all your cards?

Pretty much. There are a little over 2000 games on Steam at the moment and a good few dozen have been pulled over the years.
I should probably "play" the F2P games I've bought DLC for so they show up in my game count. It's only fair (unless Valve fixed that, too).
Option 2. If you've crafted a badge from a set, you'll occasionally get random booster packs.

That would be pretty badass.
Damn, new badge shot me up a few levels. Also, the 2k+ badge, taken from a friend's profile:
Also, MOD ABUSE, Stump laughing it up on my profile, kicking people while they're down:
that Gaming God badge is quite impressive :O
Yep, same way the cards get fucked to hell.
If everyone picked a reasonable price and stuck to it, guess what, everyone would make more money, but no, let's all undercut each other until cards are worth a rotten cent.
