Gabe Newell says no-one in the industry thought Steam would work as a distribution platform—‘I’m not talking about 1 or 2 people, I mean like 99%’

Yeah. I don’t really know much at all about how or why people are buying the stuff or the digital cards or the whole booster pack things that steam does. There’s a ton of little pictures I have, and for whatever reason tons of people buy them if you want to sell them off. Mostly 5 to 25 cents a piece. I’ve never messed with it.

I know the cards are worth a few cents each. Selling those is more trouble than it’s worth.

I meant the inventory gift games being worth something.

But why are they being bought? Are people actually collecting and wanting them? Or is it like a pyramid scheme stock market and people are buying and selling thousands for bits of profit?
