^ this,
there is 0 fn reason for steam to keep doing this temp bs, why not let people keep the stickers etc and have it be an addition to the chat system??
why, because f you, waste your money/tokens/return bonus so you don’t actually get something out of it/so we actually don’t give anything away
this is the most boneheaded decision they’ve done in a long fn ass while, on top of making the quest worthless to force you to spend money.
did any notice how they this also didn’t even add in “recently spent” as bonus this time, to really stiff it to people that bought something recently/during last sale, or am i the only one that didn’t see any extra tokens?
either way this year’s event is * %/¤& * bleep * BLEEP * BLEEEEP *B%#¤/&P! * (had to censor the last bleep)
Also what is even more messed up with this event is if you loaded your steam wallet before the sale started none of that money counts towards coins/cards. I would say this is a better event than the summer one but still changing stuff for the worse and with both events did not inform their customers of any of these changes prior to the events. Also the limited time stuff is a joke. Epic on the other hand is giving free games and better coupons that you don’t have to spend a cent to acquire, sorry had to do it lol.
Well that’s weird and dumb. Send a support ticket in anyway, complain about it, Valve has changed a lot of things during almost every sale after people pointed out how dumb they’re being.
Yeah that is true, they did change the summer event a little after all the complaints. It still wasnt great after the changes though. I wouldn’t mind if they at least warned their customers of the changes coming so people didn’t waste money thinking they would get more, based on how previous sale events went. I am pretty much done with their events, not going to plan for them anymore as this years events have been horrible. I will buy stuff if I see something I want but no longer going to do it for their event stuff.
That’s really bad and ballsy move by valve and the good part is that it seems that they just fixed it (20 mins ago).
Currently I have 5126 tokens - 700 from quests = 4426 tokens / 111 (tokens for 1 euro) = 39,87387387… and 5 days ago I added 40 € to my account
It’s shame it doesn’t count the 30$ voucher I got from MSI recently lol.
Now I can’t complain at all about the event. 100 gem items (tradable) are back with the tradable cards; No annoying quests at all; Plenty of leveling up options and badges; The store page wasn’t that broken for me 1 hour after the event started like previous years where it was broken entirely the first few days; Ok deals and discounts like always.
Bought myself Chivalry and they didn’t even give me the small amount of coins that I would’ve gotten (I could’ve bought ONE WHOLE emoticon with that amount!)
