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

what the gently caress are steam gems

You can craft your steam inventory poo poo into gems. Each trading card is worth like around 10 gems

And then you can bid on games but all the good games are bid up to the several hundreds of thousands, like yesterday Borderlands Pre Sequel was at 600,000 gems so you'd have to craft 60,000 cards that you can usually sell for around a dime a piece anyway, so you could pay essentially $600 for borderlands ps

There's probably a way to game the system but I don't care
