Usually you have to contribute at least one point towards your team to have a chance of winning games.

How do?

As far as I know is crafting badges. They can either be the Summer Adventure badge or can be just a badge for any game you want.

Honestly I'm kinda impressed with the complexity of whole idea. By breaking the marketing gimmick Redditors are ensuring that everyone gets an equal shake at the prizes --intriguing since teams were picked at random--. It also is getting rid of the competitiveness incentive to buy games, which is something the steam sales department probably isn't too happy about. While it's a noble and idealistic gesture, I don't really think it's fair to the others who wanted to play and at least pretend to root for their Psydo-teams. I still don't know exactly how I feel about it (since it is just a weird marketing gimmick turned optional game), but it's not like you're being tricked into buying things you don't want. You are getting some great games on the cheap and the only thing that is really being broken is a marketing campaign.

 

Tl;Dr: Is it fair to break a marketing game to achieve equality? I don't really know how I feel about it, but I'm kinda disappointed in the realization that I don't "matter" anymore and that the game is now essentially predetermined.

I understand what they're trying to do here, and really for the first couple days it worked well for steam: Get the players to buy the tokens directly from them -- where the profit goes to them and not to a game developer -- and just bank that since people are naturally competitive and want to win, even if the chances of them getting the 3 free games and being thirty out of however many people are on their team. There's a lot of people on each team and lots of people contribute points every day. It's incredibly unlikely that you'll be one of thirty of them. But the players found out after the first day that it wasn't worth it, so they seem to have done this to prevent steam from making an incredible amount of money from people over the two weeks. Smart, actually, and there's truly nothing steam can do about it unless they break up all the redditors and somehow prevent them from being together in private. Enjoy the ride and survive Summer Sale 2014.

 

I guess the question is, do you want to spend $20 to be one of thirty out of about two to three million people who are also being picked from to get free games? You'd probably have an equal shot at winning the lottery.

Same here, but that doesn't mean I won't craft a badge I've got on hold on Red's Wednesday win just in case, I'm just not going to buy a lot of crap to try and craft something to do so.

I hear the DayZ mod on Arma II is pretty fun since it has more stuff, plus I wanna play Arma II and since it's $5 well... Anyway not sure what I'll impulse buy with the other $15, but we'll see.

This reminds me of Red Resign day from Guild Wars, didn't agree with it then and I don't now, the whole point of a random team is to have a bit of competition, I'm sure there a lot of people out there who think they have a fair shot every day who are getting ripped off by this. Not that it really matters to me, I don't care much about the badges, I thought it was an actually pvp game people were playing to get the points.

Same here on JC2. It was cheap and all the dlc's were cheaper than crap. But first I need to play some of these other games before I go downloading and installing it. I think I've bought 6 or 7 so far.

Already had those on the Xbox 360. However when the flash sale for Castle Crashers happened and it dropped the bundle down to $2.49 I got both games plus DLC for about $3 and it was worth buying them again.

Would you like my list of recommended mods for Morrowind and their compatibilities? I don't know if the steam version is able to be modded as the cd version was, but they should all work with GotY edition or Tribunal/Bloodmoon addons. I think the website is still up...

Getting L4D 1 and 2 is the stupidest thing you could have done, specially because when you buy the second one it comes with every single mission of the first one
