Will we be receiving steam trading cards (i searched "trading cards" to check), i really love PA and would show my support by getting all the trading cards and the foil just to show support. (Plus free advertising). I bet they would be awesome
I find it quite offensive that you automatically say, "quite obviously" when i would be asking such a question if i knew that. Also no ones explaining the bandwidth thing
I'm not really for trading cards, but hey, could be cool for people who are. Not to mention it'd bring in some more revenue for any post-release updates to be planned, which is always good.
I don't see the point in the trading cards either, but for some reason people pay real money for them in the steam marketplace. I had been accumulating them unintentionally for a while, no clue what to even do with them, and then just unloaded them all during the winter sale while people had their wallets out. And those snowglobes in the sale? Cha-ching! Couple free cheap games for unloading virtual cards and globes. No idea what I was doing the whole time. Steam has become a MMO all unto itself, and all the games are just DLC.
I find trading cards sort of fun if you get the ones you want of the games you really want the cards for, cards are used to make sets which are used to get backgrounds, emoticons, like my ns2 emoticons, or uranium icons (Lots of radioactive jokes there) hahahah get it cause its so reactive. Anyways imagine saying, i hate to (thrust) this on to you buddy, it must feel like a (Planet[ton]) of weight, but __________________ <your imagination
