Hmm, that sucks. Neutral


The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

You can get "free" 500XP by crafting CS:GO badges Smile

5 cards each 0,07€ (5 sets) = 5 * 0,07 * 5 = 1,75€
You will get 5 emoticons and 5 backgrounds each sells for 0,11€ (you will gain 0,09€) or worth 100 gems.
Sell that stuff: 10 * 0,09 = 0,9€ (selling gem sack you will also gain 0,9€)
You will also get a holiday card (5 cards for each badge) which are selling for 0,19-0,2€ (minus fees - 0,17 or 0,18€)
Sell them: 5 * 0,17 = 0,85€

0,85 + 0,9 = 1,75€ same price for all CS:GO cards Very Happy

it's been dismal the last couple of years. Very little in the way of really amazing sales and you can't deny that. They used to have some really blowout stuff. Now most of the blow-out stuff is just really old AAA or indie games.

I thought the last one was quite decent. Not the prices I wanted, but good discounts on newer titles.

you know what? i almost wonder if this gems shit is valve introducing a new trading system, but instead of people setting their OWN prices, valve will allow traders to 'sell their games' for gems, but at a price set by valve...

i mean theres more to this gem shit than an auction and booster packs, this might be the new trade currency, but one that valve can set the ONLY trade prices for, and make substantial profits from...

thoughts?

For someone that travels between north america, europe and asia I want to know that my games will bloody work whenever I feel like it. Not whenever I'm on the continent where I bought it from.

lol such bullshit. they talk about the russian market, but theyve applied the block to other regions as well that have nothing to do with whats happening in russia...


and that 'blocked gifting from lower priced regions to higher priced regions' thing.. is that JUST for those 3 territories mentioned above, or is this now a blanket rule? can i still recieve gifts from the US? can the brits??

i dont think valve would revise regional pricing. regional pricing exists BECAUSE people in different countries have different incomes. it wouldnt make sense to raise the prices in a store for an economy thats failing Very Happy

It wouldn't make sense to drop the prices either considering Steams income won't benefit those countries with a shitty GDP

You have no idea how it works, do you, chiv? Because of bad financial situation prices WILL rise and already RISING in Russia. First wave happened in August-September.

Steam will have to rise Ru prices or put USD price on games in Russia.
