Only 100k last 24hours?

I think trading and overall steam is probably dying, because when you look at the number of action cards sold, it's only 100,000 a day. (barely one per second) I remember that in previous discounts it was half a million.

trading is as strong as it has been

It's fallen do to vac bans csgo etc

Because you only get 1 free drop a day now.

And the big spenders haven't started power crafting yet.

Give it a couple weeks...

Their levels are low as crap right now compared to what they'll end up with.

Then again, the last time it was outrageous was...

Looking at the dates, I find it suspicious. Seems Covid impacted this too.

Well, there are several reasons as hotsauce already said, plus:

- Perhaps many people finally realized how pointless it is to level further.

- The sale is not that great in general so people are not interested in the sale badges / cards.

Personally i just sold my sale cards, cause the card sale badges don't interest me anymore.

How you came up into a conclusion that Steam is dying? By learning the number of sold cards over 24 hours?

Steam Points affecting overall trade count and by the looks of it, gamers began to realise the power of Steam Point System after several months.

Standard hyperbole on these forums.

But ain't we all dying, day by day, doom, gloom, that kind of stuff?

according to the forum steam has been dying every year for the last 16 years.

If you list something for $5 on community market and it can be sold within a few moment, the company is a giant monster and far from dying. Every breath you take, they make money.

I once tried to sell some cards for $1000 because it was from a game that wasn't released yet and it was the only ones on the market. No one bought them though.

While i have no idea whether its up or down i do feel the points shop did put a dent in trading or should i say certain peoples interest in playing the game as so to speak.

If you can buy a background for 2000 points you just have lying around, why pay £3.50 for the same object. Sure you cant sell it again but if enough people go down this road then it wont matter as it is after all just a ponzi scheme.
I reckon the animated backgrounds are also bashing the market as they do outshine the static ones.

The market is/was fun, adds extra value to steam over other platforms so it would be sad to see it go if popularity waned to the point of pointlessness.

It’s okay if card trading dies. Then we can have a new thing to trade.

I’m sayin’ it can be soaps. Soaps is like a box of chocolate (singular like a lone lump).

You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it, soak in it, clean your hands. Then there’s uh—shrimp soap, soap soup, soapy snacks, soap beef jerky, soap corndogs, soap fu, soapersoaker, supersoaper, soap pins, soap buttons, soapy poems, soap pillows, and the wild soap gorilla frog.

There’s probably more too. And I only require 2% for my namesake. I’ll consider 1.5% if Gaben bakes cookies and gives me a hug.

They truly are God's favorite.
