Crap I don't own any of these games. Maybe there's a good deal somewhere for one.

Wow, got none of 'em.  Zombie Driver HD is the real punch in the nuts -- passed on getting it since I already owned the original.  I gave Offspring Fling and Magicka away.  This will teach me to be nice.

 
Ew at the new Humble Weekly sale.

Also, is it still possible to get card drops while running more than one game at a time? People were saying yes, but it didn't seem to work for me on Tuesday. 

 
The BBB isn't a particularly credible source, especially when it comes to companies that haven't sought accreditation or stay in contact with the BBB.

I'm not coming to Valve's defense here, just noting that bringing up the Better Business Bureau doesn't really mean much.

It's a complaint repository and an incompetence archive, at the very least.

  • Offspring Fling!

I'm shocked; I accidentally picked up Zombie Driver HD on an unlabeled code drop. The other three...eh...to the wishlist!

I had real problems getting more than one card from simultaneously-running games on Tuesday. Not sure if they've changed it, but I didn't get all of my drops (four games) until I launched them on their own.

 
I think I own all but Jagged Alliance.

For the Humble weekly, I may pick it up just to get the DLC for Rochard.  Does anyone know if the game and the DLC are separate codes?

By people who bothered reaching out to the BBB, rather than just <inflammatory forum post> somewhere convenient.

 
Almost forgot, but shameless advertising - for those who do not have Zombie Driver HD - it is in Indie Gala Mass Effect, which I conveniently have copies of for only $1.60 for the entire bundle.  I smell like almost free bundle ;)

How 'bout if I give you all the non-foil drops for it... I just need my scratch off lotto tickets~

Not a bad offer, but I'd probably open a Fox Farm of Steam Accounts if I wanted Zombie HD cards. Which, TBH, I will probably craft one day. Once the market crashes again.

I'm actually debating making a second Steam account and buying a bundle from you.

 
Also the friend I gave Offspring Fling to has played it a grand total of twelve minutes. GabeN has taught me to horde all games, even the ones I don't like.

Scratch 'dem tickets.

You definitely should. It also comes with two shadowgrounds games and Shank 2 and I maybe one of those will get cards? I would buy like maybe 5 copies for 5 alternate accounts.

I am officially petitioning Steam to give Dwarves some cards now.

 
There are CAGers out there who do *NOT* own Magicka? Holy shlamoley...
Didn't have any interest in it so I must have given away like two or three codes all the times I had got it in packs. Heh.
I have an extra copy if you want it Moobs. Can I call you Moobs?
You may, and I appreciate the offer but you should probably give it to someone who would play. I would literally just idle for the cards and never turn it on again.

 
Just a quick heads up for Enhanced Steam for Chrome users - version 3.7 is out now with loads of new features and bug fixes.  Some of the features required that I change the permissions, so once it updates it may be disabled until you re-enable it on your extension tab.

 
Just a heads up to anyone that wants the "complete" Mafia II experience. The region exclusive DLC "The Betrayal of Jimmy" is only available through limited euro regions but you can still acquire it and add it to your account via trading.

It is currently on sale in those regions and I quickly and successfully traded 1 TF2 key for it.

I have 3 going right now and in the past hour have gotten a drop for each, so it seems like it still works

I have tried to give my extra copy away multiple times but have had no takers. Maybe it's gone rancid or something. I am putting the code in that secret place that lurkers can't see so if anyone wants Magicka please hover-take it and post back or pm me so I know the stinky thing is gone. Don't make me beg.

I'll give you 4 bucks for both bundles (have to pick one up for my bro, Mooby to cure his itch).

So, as a final update, Steam just pretty much told me they aren't going to be able help me out with Don't Starve disappearing from my account as they 'had no record of me ever owning it'. I guess the email I (still) have from Steam telling me it was gifted to me and my memories of activating it and installing it were wrong. Oh well. >:(
Open up that email and try to redeem it again using the link at the bottom of the email. See what it says. Perhaps you never actually redeemed it or Steam never got the message that you did. Worth a try. If it says it was redeemed, then it was indeed on your account.

Next you can try to contact the publisher with your information. This won't look good on them if you end up moving on to the next step.

But if none of that gets you help, you need to move on to gaming media to publicly shame Steam over this. Go to Kokatu or RockPaperShotgun or PennyArcade and find a contact that writes about games. Lay out your claim, with Steam's response. They'll love to publish something making it clear that Steam will stealth remove games with no recourse or help.

Wait, it was Steamgifts? I'd probably skip the media, then. With an item from an unknown source, there is a real possibility that there was something like credit card fraud involved. Not sure why Steam won't at least confirm that it was removed from your account, though. Other people have reported getting notification when that happened.

If you take it down and send it my way, I'll play it eventually. I just got back into PC gaming, and it hasn't been bundled since I've been back. If it's been used prior to that, oh well. Bound to get bundled again eventually.

 
I think we are fast approaching the point in time where it's not gonna be worth the effort of idling for cards. About an hour after this week's cards were introduced, most of the cards are selling for less than 30 cents. This time next week, the new cards will be selling for under 20 cents within an hour. How low does it have to go before it's simply not worth the effort?

Might be worth the effort when they add more non-indie titles to the card list. As of now, the only non-indie non-valve game that has card support is Borderlands 2..

Considering idling doesn't affect me at all. As long as I can make a dime from a card I'll do it lol

Haha. I'm currently idling 4 games and reading CAG!
I think you only get cards from one game at a time.

It works. I did it a few days ago with Serious Sam and Super Meat Boy. The cards appear almost immediately after another.
That's odd. I tried it on Tuesday and it screwed my drop rate up when running multiple games. Same thing happened last week too..
You might be right. It took a while for the final card to drop the other time but I keep my computer on all day anyways so I can just leave it idling.

You're doing it wrong. Multiple steam accounts + multiple computers = win. Turn al your now-worthless BitCoin Mining computers into Steam Card Mining computers. ;)

You've seen the carrot, now here's the stick: If you have any card drops remaining for any of your games, you are ineligible to win the Booster Pack Lottery. Anyone who owned any of today's titles lost the ability to win a Booster Pack at 10am PDT, and won't regain eligibility until they play or idle their way through all of the drops.

I would think that this "forced idling" will further depress individual card prices, which may or may not encourage some cheap badge crafting. If users could craft a badge for less than a dollar, some of them just might.
