Steam Winter Badge 2013 Rewards = Worthless Pile of Crap

[BlatheringTumorCells]

So i have played Team Fortress 2 for 2535 hours and I crafted a badge and got an item to a game called "Stronghold Kingdoms", i have never even heard of this game but as far as i can tell no one gives a ♥♥♥♥ about this game and no one is going to buy anything to it. I went to the community market and put the item for sale at 0,03 euros which is the minimum possible ammount and no one is even buying it.
Why the hell give some people some worthless items that they do not do anything with when others get some items to really popular games that you can sell the item for up to 1 Euro and people would still buy it.
Probably the worst steam event reward ever!

I hate you Steam, why didn't you make a limite badge, instead of a +10 level endless badge

I can't even by games cause of this, thanks you so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ much. Plus all cards are now expensive cause they have a expire date

You're getting something for FREE this time, you get upset. They give nothing AT ALL, you're upset. I understand you want options, but honestly I prefer to get something I can possibly later trade off or for, then nothing but some silly background and emoticon I'll never use.

Pre-purchase items are not eligible for Snow Globe trading card rewards

Wow giving out a few cards must be too much value right?

I imagine that part is to stop people from mass pre-ordering MGR then refunding the preoder once they get their 3 cards

They should have at least offered free games you could win not sum stupid in game items for games no1 plays!!!!!!!!

They tried that once (coalgate, I like to call it). It didn't end well. Alt- accounts + bundle abuse resulted in all the free games being exhausted within two days of the sale start.

Brilliant.

I agree, the summer camp system was best.
The problem here is that they have a bunch of worthless crud to games no one plays mixed in to bolster the nice rewards available.
Make awesome rewards/dlc like summer camp had, make them non-sellable to prevent abusive farming and you have a win. - This system is only half way there. Maybe they will get it right next year.
Funny that they got it right the first time, and then immediately broke it trying to improve it.

I like winning useless items. The reason I shop at Poundland is to acquire useless items.

I wouldn't even care for a useless item, but the only game on that list I have installed, and play(although very rarely) is TF2. So.......doesn't interest me in the slightest. When I first read it I was like 'oh bet theres something for counterstrike' was kinda disapointed there.

In the long run this system is better because the awards are presented randomly to help curb farming. I'm pretty sure everyone would flock to the high value items like the red nose reindeer if allowed to. Plus, if you do get lucky and receive a high value item then it's all the more valuable.

Matt has the right idea. It is now impossible to pinpoint when you can determine how much grinding cards will return profit, making any autobots or people in it just for the money to come crying about how it sucks. This will also make the lucky few find something quite valuable, rather than everyone having what they want.

So I just looked at the list of rewards for crafting the badge. None of the top-level stuff has been revealed, which probably means they haven't dropped yet. For anyone. Which means that they don't have anything near an equal chance of dropping as the common crap. lol this just keeps getting better. Between the games no one cares about and this, I pity anyone who sunk money into crafting that badge.
