Crafting a badge earns points for your team, and 30 members of the winning team get three free Steam games off their wishlists. The 2014 Steam Summer Sale has its own special set of cards you can badge-ify, but with a twist: participating Steam users are randomly assigned to one of five teams during the sale: Red, Pink, Purple, Blue, or Green.

Craft a full set of these seasonal cards, and you get something like a unique wallpaper or Steam chat emoticon or in-game reward for a few participating games. Most of Steam's seasonal sales have included a unique trading card set.

How Valve makes money from the metagameįirst, a run-down of how the Steam Summer Adventure works if you've been blissfully unaware over the past week, buying and playing discounted PC games rather than being concerned with your gamified game client. I took a look at the evidence and spoke to a few of the people caught up in the dark business of virtual trading card market-manipulation. For what it's worth though, SE and EA both still tend to have bigger discounts than the norm.Is a small collective actually having this big of an influence on a Steam-wide, public competition? Valve has already amended the contest to encourage more competition. It's not just big publishers who do that, Cuphead has never had a discount of more than 30% off, and has never dropped from its original $20 price point. The game publisher/dev has more of an interest in maintaining some aspect of 'brand value' though (something Nintendo is notorious for), and they tend to want their games to retain their worth over time, setting a floor on how low they'll let the price get, regardless of whether they'd ship three times the units at half the price. Previously Valve just looked at the numbers and said 'we think a 90% sale makes sense for overall profitability with this game now', and if that meant last year's smash hit was available for $5, that's what they sold it for. Under publisher pressure, Valve gave sale control to the publishers (or developers in the case of indies), allowing them to set a sale floor and sale frequency as they saw fit. Sales changed before refunds were implemented.
