a booster pack contains 3 trading cards, so all you gotta do is get those and then trade them for more gems.

my favorite part about this is that star wars battlefront 2 is bid up to like the equal amount of over 6,000 cards when it's on sale for $3, or 30 cards

Let's do some effortpost math on gem values.

Skyrim booster packs cost 750 gems to craft. They sell for fifteen cents each, thirteen if you subtract Valve's trading fees.

Using that as a metric, someone's paying $1040 for CS:GO

Easier math is a sack is 1000 gems and they are selling for 0.03.

So do people on Steam like going through insanely roundabout ways to buy games without ever slapping down a stack of cash for them or something? Like would the world explode if I bought a PC game at full price or what

There's probably a lot of 10-15 year olds who don't have other ways of getting stuff.

its 2014 going on 2015, split screen is dead. Everyone playing together needs their own copy of the game and console to play it on unless you're playing indie trash

every game as stupid mmo-lite crap that effects your player so they come in like "sorry but split screen just wont work with this game its too epic" but what they really mean is "this way we sell like 4 times as many copies"

was wondering what the hell people were talking about when I couldn't find how to do this stuff.

Bug-gems sounds pretty sweet I hope whoever found it first gets contacted by valve for a job fixing steam instead of just getting their poo poo banned
