I could probably get another few thousand if I played all these games I never even opened up for a couple hours but I mean come on.

The one nice thing this did is made me learn about the Quake Live badges I need to make that they added.

Let's do some effortpost math on gem values.

Skyrim booster packs cost 750 gems to craft. They sell for fifteen cents each, thirteen if you subtract Valve's trading fees.

Using that as a metric, someone's paying $1040 for CS:GO

Easier math is a sack is 1000 gems and they are selling for 0.03.

So do people on Steam like going through insanely roundabout ways to buy games without ever slapping down a stack of cash for them or something? Like would the world explode if I bought a PC game at full price or what

There's probably a lot of 10-15 year olds who don't have other ways of getting stuff.

I got a foil grunt card. Just need 10 more and I can make a foil QL badge. Very epic.
