So this is rather ridiculous of Steam. Yesterday, I received two new trading cards from purchasing Stardew Valley. I was going over my trading card list when I saw I still had duplicate trading cards I needed to sell (that haven’t). Thankfully, this extra money is only added to the Steam Wallet and can act as a discount chest for purchasing a game. It has worked quite well for me in the past.
But now, things have changed and they make no sense to me. Before, all I would need to do is find the card I wanna sell, look at how much I’ll get for it and list that as the Seller price. The Buyer price(that the buyer has to pay for if they want my card) is like a few pennies more from that (I guess to cover Steam’s tax system). But it costs me absolutely nothing to do this.
Sorry, going back to the blog title. I was slightly rambling a bit there. There’s only one button of “do you wish to place your card?”, I say Yes, and that’s it! The card is now sellable and the duplicate is removed from my list. Simple. No muss no fuss.
Now…now I have to go through hell. After saying “yes” to the first thing, I have to say Yes via an email. Uhh.. why? I wouldn’t had said “yes” if I didn’t want to. Whatever. Ok, and then it gets placed on a week hiatus. Why? I have to get some fucking Steam Guard verification app on my phone!! WHAT THE HELL, STEAM?!?! Twice I have to say “yes” for a stupid Trading Card?! It’s not like I’m selling my organs to science, or upgrading to Windows 10!
Steam Guard has been more of a nuisance than helpful to me. But that’s mainly when I have to get into my Steam account via the Internet instead of the Steam browser. I actually feel like getting rid of it. Though, this would possibly do more harm than good. So I’ll just leave it alone.
If Steam wants people to trade Trading Cards, don’t make it hell on Earth. Of course, I realize that trading cards aren’t the only things one can trade. There’s also goods like weapons in some online games (like CS:GO, TF2, and others). Yet if they’re supposed to be traded, why does one have to do a two-step “Yes, I want to fucking sell it, Steam”?! Just why?
You’re not our parents, Steam. Stop acting like it.
Made a thread about 20 minutes ago, and had it locked without any reason as to why. Wow. Did get my answer, though. Quite obvious, too. Kids. They’re bitching they lost money (even though it clearly explains you’ll lose the card). That’s why they did this stupid thing.
*double facepalm* Thanks, Obama!
