There are plenty of games for around 10 000 gems currently. Which would translate to 30 cents, normal steam price is 3€ and up for them.

I think I'll skip this event. Too much effort to get 10 k gems, 0 bags for sale.

I agree with whoever said this was an inventory clearing thing. Same as when they removed all chests in Dota 2. That they also drive market prices up and might make more profit on it is a bonus for them.

WTF Steam lol, you never cease to amaze me. http://steamcommunity.com/auction

I feel like unless you had like 500 cards sitting in your inventory you wont win shit lol. Some people have like 20,000 gems bid into some games. While i currently have 100, seems like its not worth it at all.


I think that for most people it's going to best to either convert the gems then turn them into boosters and sell the cards from there, or to just sell cards/backgrounds/emoticons directly. For the amount you'd have to spend to get enough gems to win an auction, it'll probably end up being cheaper to just buy the game when it's on sale.

I think it's a pretty interesting thing to do though. Basically it looks like a way for Valve to take the market and force prices back up. Higher demand (to turn things in to gems) and reduced availability (cards etc getting destroyed for gems). Very clever of them, seeing as how they get 10-15% of each market sale.


They are sneaky beavers thats for sure.

thats their inhouse economist doing work

I love that they basically turn the act of buying a game into a game itself. It's pretty ingenious.

you can trace that back to when they introduced trading cards and badge crafting. now you don't just have hats for your game, you have hats for your steam account

Does anyone knows if the upgrade to Redux version of Metro is worth it ? Already have both games (normal), but 16.99 seems like a decent price to be fair ?

Sold my knife for 59 euros, now I have some money for the sale. I'm just scared when I have this much money on my account that I'll waste it before the good deals come around. As in, not wait for my wishlist games to go on sale but buy random heavily discounted games I will never play.

Bought FF III on the Humble store, liking the game so far. Hope IV and VIII go on sale on steam.

Wow really? I just spend some time last night watching the market to sell my useless stuff (background/emoticons), buying some gems to craft some booster packs to then craft some of the badges I didn't have and then sell the leftovers and the holiday trading cards. I also crafted some of the boosters packs that I knew I could sell the single cards for a decent price. Now I wake up today to find that everything is gone and I have like 19k gems left... At least I was able to make a little profit out of this, just wish I could make more.

FF IV is the one I want to get, just simply because I enjoy the Culex battle theme (and it will always be the Culex battle theme).

Last Light now way. 2033 could be worth it for 4.99$ or so, because its in a new Engine and has new Graphics/Gameplay. Especially the Stealth-System is way way better in the Last-Light Engine.

It was no effort to get 10k gems. I had $0.18 in my wallet when the event started. I spent that on 6k gems, used the gems to craft booster packs, opened the packs, and sold the cards. I'm up to $2.12 now, and still have more stuff to sell.

Now, this doesnt work anymore because the gems are no longer marketable, but it was stupidly easy at first.

you only got that many gems because of a dupe exploit and you are keeping your stuff for now because you made boosters from those gems and since booster creation is limited, it doesnt kill the market, so valve lets you have your 2 dollars

It's actually really good, I've played through the first New Game+ already and am on New Game++. And on PC, you can bypass some of the BS the game has. I.e. you can hack Tails into your inventory when you get to that portion of the game. They have a .4% drop rate (.8% with Treasure Hunter Augment), so screw wasting that time. Also, since this game is actually a port of the iOS version, it still has its defects carried over. I.e. in the DS version, you got a Limit Break Augment when you beat the game once and another after you beat it on New Game+ (you're limited to 3 playthroughs of the game, it doesn't give you anything after New Game++). On iOS, it only gives you one after beating the game once. Thankfully, you can correct that defect with the same hack.
You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

I'm assuming no actual Winter Sale because of this? Sucks.

FF8 is 50% off on Humble Store now for a bit over a day and a half. I can't imagine it'll get any cheaper than that during the Steam Sale.

But... why would anyone want to play Final Fantasy 8?

Because it's good.
