what are dese cards.
Badge system gains are now replaced with the trading card system.
when you buy a specific game that is trading card applicable, you get card drops similar to how you get drops in TF2, just on the steam console(up to half of the cards of 1 set can be dropped before it stops dropping). When you get a full set of cards, you can craft them into a badge, which gives you account exp, and a emoticon for that game for steam chat(e.g tf2 themed emoticon if you got a tf2 set) as well as possibilities of getting % off coupons as well as upgrading accounts. after a certain point, your account will have a display case for your community homepage. as you get more sets, more options on the homepage are open for you for customization.
cards can be traded and sold, so if you want a specific set, collect cards and trade. trade off different cards from different sets if you need to.
specifically for this sale, a card drop is unlocked after each ~10$ usd purchase. so in total, steams expecting ~120$ if someone wanted to collect all cards without trading/buying the cards directly
