I will not be updating every Daily/Weekly/etc. sale. The tools to help individuals become a smarter shopper will be provided below.

Somebody explain the mobile authenticator thing to me. Do you have to use your phone to log into Steam every single time you access it? How does that work? I

Every time you enter your password. How often that is depends on the cookies and how often you use that device to access Steam. Also, you need it to approve any market transactions unless you're using 3rd party programs.

How does that work?

About as well as it sounds.

Yeah, that's why I haven't done it yet, then, and probably will continue not to.

In Bundlestars Nemesis and that overpriced Wingamestore anniversary bundle for Steam.

 
I only use the client and mobile and I never need to authenticate other than market stuff. I'm pretty sure even when I was accessing steam via a browser on my phone I never needed to reauthenticate after the first time.
 
As I said, it seems to depend on your browser and device.  I always use my home PC so it very rarely logs me out.  When it does, i need my phone to log back in but that's maybe once every month or so.

I rarely look at Steam on my tablet but, when I do, I almost always have to log in (requiring my phone).  If it's been longer than a few days, I seem to lose the cookie (or Steam doesn't accept it).

My work PC browser is set to clear cookies upon closing so any day I want to access Steam from work on my PC, I need my phone.

Not gonna lie though, I want it.

 
The most important detail (which they neglected to mention - as usual) is whether this will only affect new games, or whether it has been (or will be) applied to games already on the store.

Have not bothered with cards since they added the dang mobile authenticator thing and required you to login every week + use it to confirm your listings... it's not like we can use the useless steam wallet these days anyway with steam store pricing..

Changes to Trading Cards

I think that's a good change overall. It seems like it will really only affect card drops with the crappy Greenlight & bundle-junk games. The bigger budget titles and popular indie hits should achieve Steam's new metric pretty easily.

I assume once the metric is hit idling will work the same way it always has. Although, I do wonder if you'd have to idle a game up to a certain time benchmark or if cards would all drop like they do now within the first 1.5-2 hours. Thankfully I'm all caught up in card drops for the moment. When does the new system kick in? Or has it already?

Buy both and send me the one you like less. OK. Thanks.

Edit - slightly less snarky response: Pretty sure that's a reference design, so cards should be effectively identical. Base your decision on quality of support, freebies, etc. I have had solid experiences with both companies.

Valve fucking with card drops now :D

Instead of starting to drop Trading Cards the moment they arrive on Steam, we're going to move to a system where games don't start to drop cards until the game has reached a confidence metric that makes it clear it's actually being bought and played by genuine users. Once a game reaches that metric, cards will drop to all users, including all the users who've played the game prior to that point. So going forward, even if you play a game before it has Trading Cards, you'll receive cards for your playtime when the developer adds cards and reaches the confidence metric.

Asus, Gigabyte, and MSI are all on the same tier in terms of quality. For what it's worth I've had zero issues with my MSI mobo and 770 card for the three+ years I've had it. And when trying to decide I found praise and horror stories relating to all three companies. Mostly comes down to personal choice.
