Expired cards

[🙝Thompson🙞]

Will I be able to make a badge after the card expiration ? I have already gathered all cards except for one for which I have to wait 24 hours due to trading hold. The question is whether I'll be able to actually create the badge even after those 24 hours...

my cards will expire in 12 hours and 45 minutes from now, is there a way that i can still get the next level badge?

You have to do it now, once they expire they are useless. So buy or trade quickly

What a farce. I was at 9/10 for the last few days and missed the sale's ending, so now I have 9 useless cards. I'm done with Valve. If there was a way to remove the big STORE button at the top, I'd do it.

Seriously? we can't buy the last remaining one we needed from anyone??

The cards are expired, the time on them was pretty clear.

Not sure why your upset, they were free cards that were suppose to be used during the sale, then they are gone.

As in why bothering creating it in the 1st place then? Valve is just being stupid sorry it has to be said. If you making card that is free with expired date why bothering creating it in the 1st place and it is pointless as what are they trying to do or what the point just don't create it. Make a cards that will not be expired.

Let's not be blinkered here. Valve sets these cards up intentionally because they make tons of money on them. They give these "free cards" to people, but they make damn sure there aren't enough chances to complete the set for free, and add an unnecessary time limit to them to give a sense of urgency.

All of this is to force people to sell their cards between each other. And each time, Valve is making money from it. Those free cards are making Valve more money than you're implying.

just the fact alone that half of us on this thread are feeling diappointed about our cards being removed from their inventory should be reason enough as a manager to make these cards permanent. upsetting customers and potential new game buyers is not good business. last winter sale i lost all my cards because i did not know they were going to be deleted. this time, however, i managed to get to level 3 without paying for them on the market. i only traded and i joined the steam card trading group which was very helpful especially in getting the last level. i used my extras to trade for other game cards that i also collect. i have to admit it was kinda fun in that it was a challenge, much like a video game time trial. it was like a scavenger hunt. but someone on here compared cards self-deleting to milk expiring in your fridge....i would have to say that a more accurate analogy would be the milk man coming in to your house and removing your milk from your fridge without your consent.

Then don't worry about completing badges for arbitrary "achievements" and bits of digital bling? All of this is extraneous to the whole point of Steam: having easy access to your libary of games and decent prices.

It also affects the size of your friends list. But the days of decent prices from Steam have long since passed.
