Collects Steam trading cards without you needing to play.

I have to assume this will eventually get blocked and/or result in some bans.

I'm guessing economically, it doesn't really make sense to be on, given the low price of cost drops.

I let it run while I was in a mtg, and got 2 cards in 20 minutes.

I found 36 new items in my Steam inventory today. I let it run a few hours last night, but then put my machine to sleep.

I know it's for no money, but I'd still like to run it just because my PC is running three click games all night anyway. However, I'm scared to fuck with it as I don't want my account penalized and potentially lose access to my 623 games.

There's a Steam Commnuity for it

If you think about it from Steam's perspective:
* This creates cards/crap
* Cards and crap are sold in the market.
* Steam makes 5% of all transactions.

So really, it just makes $ for Steam.

Are you earning XP too or just trading cards?

Shit, I forgot to run it last night.

If I get time this morning I might try to run it on the secondary PC in my office.

I let it run for 2 days. I then sold everything I got, and made $8.

I haven't used it yet because it won't run while I'm in Steam and my Steam account is always playing click games.
