Steam Trading Card Beta-invite - Does it give a beta badge?

[Taizun]

I still have a Beta-invite in my inventory. If I send it to someone, does it still give the Beta-badge and the emote?

The beta invite doesn't do anything now.

The Beta is over.

I am well aware of that, lol.

Have you tested it, or seen others test it? Want to be sure :)

Been reported several times and it's only logical, why would you get a badge called "Beta Tester" if you haven't even been there in the beta? The badge was given out at a specific point in time, imagine a cron job, not when you joined the beta.

i tested it, it doesnt work anymore

It's a beta invite. It gets you invited into a beta. Beta's over. So is the usefulness of the invite. Should be rather obvious.
And as Driver said, there have been people trying it.

Then please explain what logic there is from Valve's side, in not forcefully deleting all beta-invites that haven't been gifted or used?
It bothers me when people bring the "logical"-argument to the topic, when the logic behind the subject in question is non-existent.

Because we can collect them. I still have my Mobile Beta Access and a game gift which is no longer valid because the game got cancelled. Although these things are "useless" in that they don't do anything, they are still nice to collect :-)

There are other items that too haven't been "forcefully deleted", like my "AirMech 2 [NO LONGER VALID]"-Coupons, or the "new community"-invites I saw on a valve employee at the start of the beta, that went live as well. You might want to showcase those things or whatever.

True. I do consider myself quite the game-collector already. Collecting badges is my new game here on Steam.
And yea - showcasing them of course is an option. But it just seems weird that Valve doesn't remove all invalid or expired invites for things, unless they have something planned way into the future. I'll hold on to mine.

Tried it today after getting it gifted from a friendly user
and sadly the invite isnt working anymore to get the badge.

I'm sure he appreciates the info after over two months.
