FACT: The "Mystery" card is evolving? [Super Thread]

[Gordon Freeman]

If you remember what the Mystery Card looked like when it originally dropped you will now notice that this cards border now has a squiggly - - - - - - on it. Is this card going to gradually change as time passes on???

I wonder what will come of it!!! Theories please

======= Theories =======

- Map
- Blueprint (Thanks Ericz)
- Alternate Reality Game (Google: Portal 2 ARG)
- What if the Mystery card changes its face based on how many people craft badges?
- 10 Year Anniversary of Steam on 12th September 2003 (Possible link?)

WE ALREADY KNOW THERE IS A PLANE ON THE MYSTERY CARD!

Mystery changes it's form every 48 hours so we can only imagine it will change one more time before the Summer Sale. If this is the case it's likely to change a final time ON the day of the Summer Sale (11th) or the day after (12th) in order to stay in line with the 48 hour change cycle!

Why are you bumping 1 year-old threads? This + the other one with >300 posts were about the Summer Sale 2013 Mysterious Cards that turned into Steam Summer Getaway Cards later.

Summer sale starts next Thursday. Not sure why they trotted this out again, people went crazy for them last year because they thought they were going to be part of an ARG. Don't think they'll go for what they did before.

People went crazy fr them for the winter sale, too. So I think they will sell well again.

[Speculation] What are the Mystery Cards going to be?

I am almost 100% certain that it is going to be 10 games again - like the previous two Sales.

The biggest question is - What is going to replace the place of Football Manager since Football Manager 2015 isn't out yet.

Welcome back guys. Clearly the guy who bumped this thread had some spare time to search this one out. I'm glad he did since there are new cards on the block... Half Life 3 maybe?!?! I wish... Lets gather what we know shall we :)

I'm not even going there...that hope burned out awhile ago. It's probably the same as last year badges, discounts, and cards related to the sale. I don't think we're going to hear about any Valve games until Steam machines release.

I'm willing to bet on that as well.

Which is a shame, because aren't STeam Machines like a year away?

The controllers aren't ready, so they've pushed them back to next year.

[Gordon Freeman]

I don't know if Valve know what they are doing when it comes to this so called "hardware" and I'm a die hard fan of Steam. It breaks my heart to slate them.

[Gordon Freeman]

Summer Sale will start tomorrow from what I hear.
