Check out the points board, looks like 2nd place team has 20 members get 2 games and 3rd place has 10 members get one game.

Guess Valve was not a fan of Reddit's point manipulation and wanted to promote more competition (aka more spending :P)

Thoughts?

Any badge. As long as you earn at least 1 point you're entered into the contest.

You can craft any to contribute a point, and get the chance to be the chosen :D

Why craft anything? Sell your cards. I will never understand this useless e-penis contest.

Craft a super cheap badge enters you into the contest to win games. It also drops a summer card which can be sold for almost all your money back.

Sad Valve has no S in their name. But at least Steam has, so from now on we can call it $team, taking that privilege from M$, err, I mean MS :) .

30 people from the winning team get the top 3 games in their wishlist for free. You don't manually pick, you need to have your wishlist updated beforehand.

You guys fail to see how nice Valve was so far.

Think of it this way, Valve knew about the deal Reddit did since day 1 but they never acted on it until today, after every team won once.
Valve could easily release it yesterday or the day before since it isn't that hard to add few more text lines. I believe they didn't want to screw other teams over.

Besides, the Reddit deal was screwed up anyhow. Everyone wins twice yeah but that is not what this was intended to be.

see? poeple is happy expending a lot of money on the event, other people is happy selling the cards for the event on the market. everyone is happy expending money on the games. and valve is more than happy with all the money they are making... what probably is enough to buy a small country.
so happy that i didn't see any heavy rant about the "can't stop laughing bundle" going from 75% to 90% in hours (you know, the classic "ARRRG i buy this and now it's cheaper ARRRG"

Do people actually win? Nobody posted anything on the internet on how they suddenly got 3 gift from gaben. Or is it part of the contest rule that saying if you're winner, you can't tell anyone not even your mother?

Someone once said he saw a post about it in some Spanish forum. But think of it this way, if it was fake then they wouldn't put cheap/ crap/ bundled titles in the given games like: RPG Maker VX Ace(Bundled few weeks ago), ORION: Dino Horde, The Binding of Isaac, Surgeon Simulator 2013, Europa Universalis IV, Bastion, How to Survive, Garry's Mod and probably more.

  • I think that to be fair, Valve should back-date prizes for second and third place to the first day of the sale.

  • I was not a user or fan of Reddit before this and I doubt that I will be after this event due to their bad math.

Weird - I was thinking that Steam had rigged the first five days with giving credit for the pre-run-up to the sale badges to specific color teams... guess I should have guessed an internet phenom for specific color days, huh? ;-p
