yeah you can sell them and have a few cents you wouldn't normally have, someone within the comunity is still spenting money to do so & it's steam that profits from it at the end of the day but it shouldn't really be a part of DRM service at the end of the day it brings nothing positive only negative limits your amount of friends & profile layout

until you pre-order MGS V TPP with money made just from selling said cards.

Having made $55 in the last week from selling trading cards, I beg to differ.
Comment has been collapsed.
$55? must have been most of your cards was it? anyway people also spend over $55 in that process, as a COMMUNITY nothing is gained was my point

Started with 874 and have 355 yet to idle. But yeah, I see your point. Cards are for individual gain, not community gain. I can see the merit of crafting badges if you're a pillar in some community or another, though, to get more friend slots. I'm friends with a bunch of podcasters who definitely benefited from that and were able to connect with more of their communities in a non-forum setting.

Cards are for individual gain hahaahahah, they are for valve to make .02 on per transaction. Its all about that money. I craft some badges on games I like or that I think I will really like(for fun), then hopefully they will send out a booster and more people will make badges. On another note some people do trade cards for badges they want so they kinda bring the community together. If there was no market I would never complete a badge.
Congrats on the 55 dollars. Even posting them is to much work for me. I am happy you got your monies and people got to make badges from your cards. Everyone is happy everyone wins. Including gaben.

Wish you the best!
Bronies, furries, weirdos, trolls, foot fetishes are fucking everywhere. I guess they didn't grow up to use this platform yet.
While the rest of your arguments are acceptable (and I do agree with most of them), this is just bigoted hate. People in those categories (minus trolls, obviously) have every right as you to use a commercial platform such as Steam. And it has nothing to do with 'growing up'. If they're being elitist, that's an entirely different topic (which you covered in bullet #9).

^ This.
I can be considered a "brony", I also like furries, and I'm weird. I guess I should say good riddance to this individual because of his bigotry.
Discrimination begets discrimination. Good bye bigot, I do agree with your other points though.
P.S. I'm also on GOG! Beware! Mwahahaha! >:D

"outside of their niche" and "keeping it to yourself"
You know, I could make that argument about a lot of things. I hate smoking, for example.
I'm actually curious where you see "those fucking things everywhere" because I don't unless I go to areas I know I will. I've also been "active" on Steam for 2 years and probably only came across a flamboyant brony once, not that I can remember. What I do see often in Discussions are trolls, bigots, racists, homophobes, and general dumb ass folk, all of which I hate but it's not going to make me leave Steam because of it. Steam isn't a public discussion/debate forum, it's a videogame distribution platform.
It's funny that you think all "bronies" are wimpy little boys who you could "beat the living shit out of", even though assault and battery is a crime.
GG, Carry on! =3

All things that you mentioned depend on how much you choose to interact with them. But I understand that this isn't what you want, so I hope you'll like it on GOG.
Oh, and I would really really like to know how you made your profile pic disappear! Before you go, you know.
Comment has been collapsed.
It is, but even Steam returns 404 when you open his profile picture from his profile. http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/avatars/9e/9e3e82024d1f4fdd9e902794e16da7da309767b5_full.jpg
I'm wondering how he did that.

I guess you want a good community but why do you even care this much? Just play your games don't add random people don't post anywhere. There is nothing abusive if you don't be a part of the "community" side.
Comment has been collapsed.
This. Until I entered this community, all I used steam for was playing games. I had some real life friends on it but that's all. You can totally use steam without having any interaction with other people.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just a shame GOG's forums is becoming just like steam's forums, and their support while better than steam's, don't really care enough to do anything to the scamming that's going on there
Comment has been collapsed.
A lot of those points you'll find true about any online community. Steam will probably always be the most relevant community when it comes to PC games. There's really nothing that comes close to the scale Steam has achieved. Love it or hate it, you're missing out.
Comment has been collapsed.
so you will stop using a game client because of other people that use it?
just buy games and play them, you don't need to get involved in the community. every site has bad people or groups you won't like.
Comment has been collapsed.
Exactly. Why would you want to miss out on all the great games that are on steam, just because you think the community (which you don't need to be a part of) is terrible?

I see you're a very tolerant person, have fun, you won't be missed :p

You are ok with DRM but you are not ok with groups that has nothing to do with you... ok

Bronies, furries, weirdos, trolls, foot fetishes are fucking everywhere. I guess they didn't grow up to use this platform yet.
What's wrong with foot fetish, and is it really this popular among Steam users?
Comment has been collapsed.
The vast majority of your "problems" has a very simple solution: Avoid or ignore it.
Nobody forces you to spend money on trading cards. Nobody forces you to befriend or care about attention seekers. Nobody forces you to care about their copy & paste "art" etc. etc.
Anyway, I didn't experience any of your problems, besides meeting some Scammers. And I had no trouble to recognize those.
Summed up: You get the Steam experience that you are looking for. Just like everywhere else too. Including GOG. :P

You've done right, I wish I had met GOG before Steam. But now I'm trapped on Steam for the rest of my days :(

hmmm why? Just download GOG and buy some games there?

Because I have all my 700+ games on Steam already, including screenshots, hours logged...

- Buy DRM-free games from GOG.
- Download setup and install them.
- Add the exe file to steam library as non-steam game.
- Enjoy Steam's features to some degree.
At least thats what I do with non-steam games :D Hell I even start Origin through Steam.
Anyway whatever floats your boat.

I have over 800 games on steam and over 600 on GOG. I would take GOG over Steam any day of the week.

GOG is nice - it's my favourite place for getting games

+1 GOG DRM free sounds better, positive of steam is ease of updates. That why I like HB as they sometimes have DRM free version & steam key for one price as it should be & not have to buy a game twice >:(
Comment has been collapsed.
I would like to know that too...
So far I learnt from l4d2 comments on MLP mods that they ruin the experience of some players... gotta wonder how this happens since mods are visable only for the people using them ... or maybe people hate it just because it exist since they cant be bothered to find another reason.

I can't say Steam veteran or smth, but I know Steam since 2005. It worked pretty well for me until 2007, when this new Steam community beta came in with all these Trading Cards, badges and other stuff. If I had to list things, which I hate on Steam, it would be:
Some might say - welcome to the Internet. Well, I thought the difference between Internet and Steam is the ability to control, but it seems it didn't work out.
I think it's time to move on.
