Hm... It says you only get the cards from the Christmas sale if you are level 5 or above. I'm level 3. How do I increase the level? Why should I care?

You basically have to get 2 or 3 sets of game cards (8 cards per set).
If you buy a game that supports cards you can get 4 cards by just playing that game (something like the random drops from TF2) the rest you will have to buy/trade with other players.

Basically you have to buy several cards to level up. They are for 10 cents each on the market so you should be able to levelup during the sale.

Oh and yes this is in fact a money grab.

On another note. I grabbed Hard Reset 85% off... now if only KAG went on a daily...

DAAAMN YOU GABEN!
Farcry 3 is on steam for 7.49.
I have JUST enough for it but if i buy it i can kiss KAG goodbye.

Decisions DECISIONS!

Should be noted that most of the numbers here are specific to whatever game Sonlirain is looking at.
The number of cards you need for a set, that you can get in drops, and the price of said cards vary by game.
I would expect prices to rise on average, due to an increased demand. They'll drop back around where they were pre-sale a few weeks after the sale ends.

Why should I care?
The short answer is you shouldn't. The long answer is that higher numbers are shiny.

Garbage Truck Simulator 2013 is what they call the task of listing all of the games with a metascore below 70 that are on sale this winter.

Heh, I realized today I can buy steam gift cards for less than their value thanks to my Employee discount.

Picked up Stanely Parable and Fall of the Samurai.
