Does CS:GO free weekend let you earn cards?

cause we totally need purely cosmetic account badges made from those cards?

Nope. If it's not listed on your badge page you don't receive cards for it. Having Dota 2 beta also does not grant you cards. (you have to make a Dota store purchase)

Free to play games drop game cards based on your in-game purchasing history. If you've made purchases in-game prior to the Steam Trading Card Beta, or if you purchased TF2 prior to the Free to Play Update, you'll have 4 or 5 drops available for these games. You'll receive more card drops when you buy items in game, approximately one card drop for every $9 USD spent.

-- from the FAQ

Prior. Sucks.

Yeah, I didn't read that part and made a purchase on the store to get the cards. And I don't even play Dota so it was a totally useless purchase for me. At least I can just sell it back on the market and minimize my loss. I guess once the trading card system is out of beta I'll get access to those cards.

I think you can get a name tag for 90 cents and sell it for like 80 before Valve's cut.

I think they mention a $9 min some where for cards too drop....or maybe that is for extra cards too drop.

apparently 9$ for each card to drop if you were premium before the steam trading cards was implemented, just wasted 75 cents :(

That's wrong, you don't have to BUY dota2. You can easily get the cards with the simplu Dota.

"Because Dota 2 and Team Fortress 2 are free to play games, they use a slightly different mechanism for dropping cards. In order to receive card drops for these games, you must have made an in-game purchase at some point"

Yes it is. You only pay for early access since it's still in Beta and not officially released yet. (That's if you're dumb enough to pick it up from the store while thousands of people are trying to get rid of the numerous free invites they have lying around)

Can I see your source?

This doesn't indicate anything about Steam forcing them to do so.

what? it's a good way to promote both the game and the new feature... you play the free weekend game, earn some cards, discover that you actually enjoy the game, and decide to buy it. bam

or you have a dozen alts idle in it without ever touching the game and sell cards

and? it's not like steam doesn't already have over a million of alt accounts. like i said, it's a good way to promote both the game and the new trading cards. if the game didn't attract them, the trading cards sure did.

The free weekend?

Yes, the game is on free weekend now but i have the game myself not only during the weekend.

The question is rather, can you get the cards from playing it during the free weekend witout owning the game otherwise. It seems it's a no though.

That was my point. You can't get cards if you only own it because of the free weekend.

Can't get for free games unless purchased items. $9 = a card unlock. Every 30min = a card.
