Steam is a program made by Valve, for collecting and trading virtual cards. You can get it here: http://store.steampowered.com/

You can also play games!

Here's a list of every game that's on sale: http://steamdb.info/sales/?displayOnly=Game&cc=us

Here's a document for finding people to trade cards with: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Avv6tDaEFbs_dFh3MEcxSkp5cXZISVhkRlRCcVBXbXc#gid=0

Here's some advice for buying things in the Steam sale:

Here's HOW TO GET CARDS:

HOW TO GET CARDS:

- Each game has a certain number of drops that come when you purchase it. These unlock while the game is open, even at the launch screen. You don't have to be playing it actively.

- Once you are out of drops, that game becomes eligible for booster packs that will contain a set of three cards specific to that game. You get these drops as long as you have an active steam profile (log in once a week). You do not need to be playing the game, you do not need to even have the game installed. They just show up in your inventory.

- The rate at which you get booster packs increases every ten levels by 20%.

Here are the people that are awesome because they bought me games. Buying me games is no longer a valid point of entry!

Go get cards!

    I tried going cultural in civ 5 and it was just so boring and also you're just asking for somebody to betray you after they expand to hell and back and you still have 4 cities because expanding makes culture worthless

    I did a max size earth map once and I think I had to go cultural because they plopped me right in the middle of the Amazon and it would take so long to work my way out of all the jungle that I just said FUCK IT and went straight cultural

    totally like one of those lost tribes, some motherfucker was gonna wander in there in like 1900 like "oh shit has there been a dude there this whole time? and why does he have a statue of liberty..."

    I wonder if the value of summer sale cards are going to increase once it's over.

    Almost definitely. They'll be the only cards that are no longer available through drops.

    I crafted the level 2 badge earlier, and I think I'm just gonna save the cards now in possible anticipation of them getting slightly more valuable later.

    Part of me wants to stock up on some but I'm pretty sure everybody's gonna be doing that.

    I have an extra Dead Island card, if someone happens to have any Torchlight or Bioshock. Or, hell, anything really.

    I'm surprised someone hasn't made a site where you can see all of the card prices together
    maybe someone has but I haven't been able to find it
    It would certainly make it easier to figure out the trends, i think most of them have dropped significantly since the start of the sale, but some of seem stable and I don't want to bother trawling through the 151 pages of cards in the steam client

    I have an extra Reus if you're willing to go for that trade.

    I've come to resent foil cards, because I know I have next to no chance of getting the full set, but I can't bring myself to sell them.

    I am disturbed that something called Euro Truck Simulator is seemingly extremely popular. Like, it must be some kid of vast joke Steam is playing to get my to buy Euro Truck Simulator.

    Fun fact: This post read very differently until I removed the 'fucking' I had in front of Euro Truck Simulator. I would understand the popularity of thatgame.

    euro truck simulator is both a really goofy title and also the subject of a pretty great video from giant bomb

    I don't know how much the last bit helps, really, but it sure doesn't hurt

    One thing I realised making the OP, if you try to think about what Steam is, all that's apparent is that it's really fucking weird now.
