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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;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&#8217;s tax system). But it costs me absolutely nothing to do this.<br \/>\nSorry, going back to the blog title. I was slightly rambling a bit there. There&#8217;s only one button of &#8220;do you wish to place your card?&#8221;, I say Yes, and that&#8217;s it! The card is now sellable and the duplicate is removed from my list. Simple. No muss no fuss.<\/p>\n<p>Now&#8230;now I have to go through hell. After saying &#8220;yes&#8221; to the first thing, I have to say Yes via an email. Uhh.. why? I wouldn&#8217;t had said &#8220;yes&#8221; if I didn&#8217;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 &#8220;yes&#8221; for a stupid Trading Card?! It&#8217;s not like I&#8217;m selling my organs to science, or upgrading to Windows 10!<br \/>\nSteam Guard has been more of a nuisance than helpful to me. But that&#8217;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&#8217;ll just leave it alone.<\/p>\n<p>If Steam wants people to trade Trading Cards, don&#8217;t make it hell on Earth. Of course, I realize that trading cards aren&#8217;t the only things one can trade. There&#8217;s also goods like weapons in some online games (like CS:GO, TF2, and others). Yet if they&#8217;re supposed to be traded, why does one have to do a two-step &#8220;Yes, I want to fucking sell it, Steam&#8221;?! Just why?<br \/>\nYou&#8217;re not our parents, Steam. Stop acting like it.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;re bitching they lost money (even though it clearly explains you&#8217;ll lose the card). That&#8217;s why they did this stupid thing.<br \/>\n*double facepalm* Thanks, Obama!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So this is rather ridiculous of Steam.
