Huh - you were talking about the cards o.O?

 

So if you buy a game from a non-steam source - you have to wait 30 days before you can get cards?

No, you just can't use the market.  You have to buy a game from Steam between 30 days and 1 year and "with no recent chargebacks or payment disputes".  Like, I bought Fallout 4 at retail within that time but it doesn't count

You have to buy a game FROM Steam within a certain time-frame.  I've bought Steam games at retail and from GMG during that time but not from Steam.  I have several games that just miss that time-frame.  I bought games during the Summer Sale but you have to wait freaking 30 days before they count.

Looks like the amount of gems varies a lot.  I see 750 to 1200.  I have around 500.

Looking at the old games I've beaten that I didn't get cards for is kind of sad.

So if you haven't bought games on Steam lately, they lock you out from the Steam trading card market? That's pretty crappy from Valve.

Yeah, it does seem kind of crappy.  Even though I bought games, I have to wait 30 days before I can do anthing with the Summer Sale cards?  Eh.  I turned them into crystals because they made it sound like they would disappear.  Steam is really obtuse, perhaps on purpose.
