I hope.

for non-free games at least

So ppl who have a numerous accounts will enjoy this...

well, at some point they will add more and more games...

IKR...

It depends.

5 for Don't Starve.
9 for Hat Fortress 2.
8 for Half-Life 2.
8 for Portal 2.

ppl are getting much more on the marketplace last I looked

I make about 14 bucks, on Steam Market selling my TF2, HL2 cards

Added picture to the OP.

I assumed weekly as well, same as tf2 item drops.
Actually, I still assume weekly, it doesn't make sense to limit them and have them used in crafting.

At least a monthly reset would be interesting, none is kinda brutal.

They did it to make the steam community a bigger part of steam. So non resetting card drops is a logical step, so people who want badges have to TRADE their trading cards with community members.

I got like 6 TF2 cards in few hours.

No, you get 3-4 cards per hour.

Observe that you have to have DOTA2 premium to get cards from that

I doubt it.

50k invites today, similar number tomorrow.

Never played magic or any other TGC, have you? That's the point of trading cards.

Dis lol

If I'm not mistaken, each account needs to at least made an in-game purchase for the F2P game to drop cards.

<3

Foils will still have value then.

You only get cards from TF2/Dota if you bought something from the ingame-shop (or if you bought TF2 before it was free)

5 for Don't Starve.
9 for Hat Fortress 2.
8 for Half-Life 2.
8 for Portal 2.

Thanks, but i meant how many cards can drop if you play a game, until you don't get any more cards from playing that game.

Somehow, I think that's the point. They want people to buy those cards through the community market so they make a cut out of it.

SPAAACE!

Jealous...

How?

It's a miracle!

Usually it takes 2 days. I was surprised too.

If someone was below 10 (at least a few levels though) when this thing started what would it matter if he idled the cards or not? Waiting for new levels from steam events will take months if not years and things will change.

And if you were supposed to level up by cards you'd use the ones you got dropped, so still no level 10 cards dropped.

Unless, of course, someone would buy the whole sets before dropping so he would start idling with a small chance to get Foils. Then again I doubt that could be profitable as the chance is small and the cards are a bit expensive when it comes to a whole set.

"There is no extra benefit to having foil cards or foil badges aside from their rarity."

5 levels per set only till level 10. From level 10 to 20 its 2.5 levels per set, and so on.
