Does anyone else use steam idle master?
I'm using it to scrape money for sales right now.
Why not just play the games you have instead?
>>321170885
Why would you do that?
NEETs, not even once.
>>321170783
reported, you gonna get banned!
>>321170885
>playing games
>>321170885
>Install all 100+ games just to idle for 2 hours
This shit takes days.
I would use this idle shit, if i knew it was secure.
>>321171132
He said play the game, not idle in them you penny scraping poorfag scum.
>>321171132
its open source
>>321170885
>playing games
hahahah fag
>>321171132
If you have steam guard on there is literally nothing a person can do if you give them your username and password
Also it has been used by many and no one has reported their account being stolen
>>321171183
If i was penny scraping i would idle in them, wouldn't i? You fucking degenerate.
>>321171368
Why buy games when then not bother to play them?
>>321171578
This card shit got included, when i finished most of them. I will get the cards, when i get bothered to play them again.
In some cases probably never again.
>>321170980
literally no reason to have unclaimed cards in your account, its basically free money
i used it for a while, when i realized that i didn't play 90% of games i bought (found that out from Steam Calculator) and so i idled every game, good thing i didn't need to install them or anything.
>>321170783
What does that idle master do? Not trolling here, I just never heard of it desu
>>321172152
pretends to play games so you dont have to
>>321172152
It tricks steam into thinking you're playing a game so you can get the card drops.
>>321170885
>playing games
>on PC
>>321172227
Why would anyone want to do that? Why not justplay the games?
>>321171578
This. SALES OMG SALES OMG SALES. I have friends with over 200 games and they haven't even touched 90% of them. They keep playing the same garbage as CSGO, DOTA2, TF2 and Borederlands 2. When did PC gamers became such cucks.
How does selling these card works? I just click on the sell button and some idiot will buy it off me?
So you buy games just to idle in them long enough to get sellable cards? You're still losing money.
>>321172357
PCfats don't actually play games. They talk about how great mods are all the time because they have mods that play games for them so they can get in more MOBA time.
>>321172384
Whenever I buy a humble bundle I usually only get it for one game, after a while the other games kind of pile up.
>>321172152
I think it gets you cards for the game, that's it.
>>321172447
Pretty much
>>321172493
I have several hundred games I bought and haven't played. May as well get some use out of them, rather than letting them sit around doing nothing.
>>321172493
>buy games you thought you liked but didn't
>buy bundles of games for one game because it's cheaper
>the games you don't want put on idle to get some money back
You're not losing money in any way, retard
>>321172447
Yep. People buy them for collections or for badges, so people usually want them. Even though a lot of people could be selling the same card, I don't have a problem selling them at list price. I used to drop a penny to sell it faster, but that just costs me a penny.
>>321172357
Why would you go play 231 games when your sole intent if to just get the cards to sell for sale money within the next week.
>>321170783
Can i sell all my cards at once? I'd love to, i have 4 pages of that shit though.
>>321172493
Where did he say that, you dumb fuck?
>>321172447
people's market bots will automatically buy them and resell with $0.01 profit later
>>321170783
Wow that's like 10$ in cards you got there.
Not even worth the effort
>>321171330
I think he meant in a sense that you won't get vac banned
Then again they dont even regulate SAM
>>321170783
For what, $3.75?
>>321173208
try steam inventory helper extension
>>321172642
What are the cards for?
>>321173208
There's extensions for web browsers that let you automatically list multiple items and get an estimate of how much cash you're going to get.
>>321173267
it's one game right now
>>321173306
I have ~350 card drops remaining so that should be like ~$15
>>321173306
Yes. Thats like 4 hours working here in angola
>>321173251
That doesnt work because Valve tax
>$0,01
You mean one rubel
>>321170783
>there are people more pathetic than me
t.Anthony Burch
>>321173469
yeah they sell for 0.03 higher price and gain 0.01 profit
>>321173306
These things pile up if you activate a lot of bundleshit on your account.
>>321172829
>People buy them for collections or for badges, so people usually want them.
People actually buy games to get arbitrary badges and cards from Steam? Are you fucking kidding me? For the love of god, someone kill these people.
>idling for literally pennies
hahahahahaha
>>321172384
once the steam levels and badges shit was introduced
when you were simply measured by your play time on steam this autistic cock waving was nowhere to be found
I actually got enough for a game on sale, feels weird.
Thanks OP i forgot i had that crap for so long.
>>321173832
I need a new phone and I have to upgrade my 5 year old CPU.
If I can get at least one game with this shit, so be it.
We /poorfag/ now.
>>321173825
They're paying me for it, so I don't mind.
>>321173983
Just pirate this shit and save on electricity bills from running your c all night.
>>321173267
>Not even worth the effort
It's idling, there is literally no effort.
>>321173319
To create badges to rank up your steam account.
>>321173901
This proves that the majority of PC gamers don't actually care about games. Between people having hundreds of games they don't play and this retarded Steam shit, no one can say otherwise.
>>321174128
Electricity isn't free, dumbass. Unless you live with your parents, which you apparently do.
why do you need a program to do this, can't you just run the game and alt+tab?
whats wrong with you people?
>>321174082
>>321174240
>thinking having the PC on during the night is expensive
Oh yeah, I can't wait to see how my electricity bill has gone up 10 cents.
>>321174342
You don't need the game to be installed with the program
>>321174342
This way you don't have to install them.
It's a good way to get cards out of all that shovelware you get in bundles.
Plus, I can have it idling while I masturbate.
>>321174342
With the program you don't need to download the games.
>>321174342
less taxing on pc and it automatically switches to new games when all cards drops
>>321174426

Dude nice
>>321175494
Depends on the games. Cards from weebshit typically sell for a lot more, and if you manage to get a foil card from a weeb game you're looking at upwards of $30-35.

ask me anything
>>321175901
Great, now you can two whole kid's meal from McDonald's, you fucking kid.
>>321176023
The point is that the pittance you earn on steam market outwieighs the cost of having your PC on to idle in games.
>>321173274
I've been using ever since it was released and haven't been banned nor have I heard of anyone getting banned for it. Pretty sure Valve is well aware of it but they don't care.
Is the idle master bannable?
>>321176127
daaaamn dude, i would have to mow like 3-4 lawns to earn that much cash!
>>321176127
Steam level?
North Pole Noir lvl?
Number of alts?
Do you ever spend steambux on cards?
>>321176050
No one told you to leave it on when you are not using it
>>321176153
You seem upset friend. I was able to buy 3 games completely for free
So when you idle does the game run in the background?
If that's the case then won't your CPU and GPU usage go up, so your voltage usage goes up, thereby increasing your electricity bill? In some areas, electricity is not cheap.
>>321176243
I used it last year and I'm still not banned. Avoid playing VAC games while running it though.
>>321176243
No, why would they ban people for giving valve money?
>>321173832
its free money
free
money
its stupid to not collect it
>>321176127
How many of the games have you actually played?
>>321176345
It doesn't run in the game in the background, just tricks Steam into believing that you're running a game. Kind of like Steam Achievement Manager.
Unless your entire catalog is weeb games, it's still not even worth the effort.

How does idling in a game earn you cards
I thought they were earned for specific things like cheevos
What is this, how does it work and is it secure to use?
>>321176403
You know how in Diablo 2 you stop caring about those 1 gold drops when you're level 30+?
Maybe you'll reach that point in life someday.
is there a thing that automatically sells the cards too? Fuck clicking around for 7 cents every few seconds for hours I already have a job
>>321176523
spending time ingame gives you cards
>The fucking state of poor people
>>321176567
This. I want in too. I have games that I will not be able to play for a few months. I would atleast like to buy some good shit while I wait.
>no way to bulk sell cards
i wouldn't do this even if i had hundreds of games i hadn't played
>>321176587
Dude it's free money I make a ton at work but if I can somehow get all the cards out of all my games and magically sell them without any effort besides tediously clicking to sell each one I'm all ears
>128 card drops remaining
how much can I get from that?
>>321176523
In F2P games the card drops depend on how much money you spend in game
>>321176802
3 dollars.
>>321176659
Fucking really? All of them or just like one per game? I thought it was based off stuff you did in game

How Jewish can you get? A whole $8 is what you're scrounging for? Kill yourself pauper.
>>321176754
There is a chrome extension called steam inventory helper that allows you to sell cards in bulk.
>>321176802
cards typically range from $0.08 to $0.20.
do the math.
>this entry level NEET behavior
bruh, I've been living the dream for 12 years now. if you need cash for games, just meet a sugar mama online. easy to find cougars willing to buy you random shit off amazon, as long as you video sex every now and then.

>>321177439
Yeah, I'm not really sure why there isn't a function to sell bulks of cards for the general asking price at that time. Also a way to remove a bulk of cards from the store. Pretty shitty system.
I hope your video game is fun to make and turns out well, Anon.
>Not running the idle while playing non Steam games
You guys are maximizing your time right?
>>321177625
This doesn't actually run the game and make it utilize your hardware does it?
That would put a little dent in the lifespan
>>321177625
>not using multiple computers and accounts simultaneously
>>321177172
What game is that? If it is a Bethesda game, there are several ways in which you could unlock the achievements even without having nor pirating the DLC, so if they wanted they still would have have no way to prove that you did.
>>321177795
No game is being run, just keeps on checking back with the servers
>>321177974
>not running multiple virtual machines on multiple computers to run this program on several accounts simultaneously
>>321177445
>few dollars
I made more than 100 yurodollas selling cards. It's not an efficient way to make money, for sure, with the time it takes to put them up you're making less than Zimbabwe minimum wage, but by doing it idly when you're watching videos or listening to music you don't actually waste time.
>>321177795
No, it just dummies the Steam servers into thinking you're playing the game. It's working on the same principle that SAM uses.
why not just mine buttcoins instead
>You get 3 cents for 1 card
Why the fuck would you even bother
>>321178328
Because that would cost you money dipshit.

>Refund the game and get your money back
>mfw after all my profit
Can't wait for Valve to strike these idlers like they did with TF2
>>321178556
Not really no, assuming you would have your PC in any case anyway. The extra power cost of running this program is less than what those cards cost, which isn't true for mining bitcoins on a desktop PC.
>>321170783
Is it to give cards? I use steam achievement for that. It's useful for when cards are implement after you've already played a game.
>takes 4 hours for all the cards from 1 game to drop
Did valve make card drops harder or what
>>321178556
No more money than it costs to run the PC.
>>321176403

>>321178812
Nigga, if I knew how, you think I would be in the poor house
>>321175774
Use to be worth a lot. Now with gem crafting all cards are worth crap except games that aren't a week old
>>321178746
You need a minimum of 2 hours, some people were refunding games which they got the cards from (intentionally or not)
>>321178812
Bitcoin is far from free dipshit, it requires a shitload of processing power to get something. You need a very power efficient PU for that shit, and it's very likely that you don't have that.
>>321178858
1. download a torrent client
2. pirate a random new pc release
3. install and start the game
4. ???
5. profit
>>321178829
I used to be this autistic. Then I realised that Steam anyway doesn't take count of all the non Steam games I play and that didn't satisfy my autism, so I made my own time tracker, and now I'm free to idle as I please.
Then I evolved into keeping a detailed spreadsheet of all the games I play.
>>321177052
At least this degenerate scum knows how to turn a dime. I can't believe some of you 17-year-old autists spend $800+ building a PC and then idle in games you didn't pirate and don't even play to make eight fucking dollars. This is the master race, folks.
>>321178962
>Bitcoin is far from free dipshit, it requires a shitload of processing power to get something
No it doesn't, you just mine slower.
Literally the same thing as idling for thousands of hours for pennies.
Plus this shit probably steals your data (whatever else that isn't already voluntarily given to them from you)
>>321179128
>Plus this shit probably steals your data
>>321178640
But that man isn't holding a small jar of coins.
>>321179128
>No it doesn't, you just mine slower.
At which point it's not cost-efficient since you're still using about as much power.

Actually they could if they knew your email and email password too, even if the mobile authenticator is activated they could just take a order of purchase from the email and claim ownership of the account.
>>321170783
Maybe if you didn't waste money on games you don't play, you would've had more money for more games you wouldn't play anyways.

Fine fag, then have a think of this
>Idle it in the background while your computer is on anyway, e.g. you browsing 4chan like now or doing anything else that requires having the computer on
Retard, getting cards from games is the only way to get some profit out of an otherwise pointless hobby
>>321179756
Yeah, no shit. Steam guard doesn't protect shit. You only need two things that should be secure as well anyway, and not related to what they already know.
That's like saying your email account isn't secure, because they only need to guess the password still.
>>321170783
You should really consider playing CS:GO.
I'm not particular good at it, and I don't really love the game, but in the Time I've played, I atleast got 80$ through random drops and another 200$ for playing with people in Item Trades. For the 5$ I used for the game, (plus maybe 10-15$ for keys) I think it's a pretty good haul, now that I only got it for abit more than a year and casually play it every so often.
>>321180063
Its not pointless if you enjoy it. The point of jobs are to make money for your hobby, not vice versa.
>>321180063
If you weren't such an insufferable autist, you could start a Youtube channel and turn a much greater profit in a matter of weeks.
But if you really need a handful of change every few weeks to justify your hobby to yourself, then maybe it's not really your hobby at all.
>>321173319
You sell them to buy more games you won't play.
>>321180063
Even if you're just idling while doing something else, your PC is still drawing more power. I don't think you understand how electricity works. Do you pay your own bills?
>>321180556
How is is drawing more power? You relise the SIM and SAM don't even need to launch the games in order to idle, yes theoritically it does increase the amount of electricity needed for your computer, but it's equivalent if not less to having a text document or skype open in the background or something.
>>321180556
Yes, but that extra power is negligible compared to the cost of the cards mate.
>>321172357
I solely use it for the rare game where a mod makes it so you can't use the original .exe so my hours still get logged
I'd actually need to buy games on steam first.
Why would I do that?
>>321180426
i don't need to justify anything, i do it because it takes zero effort and allows me to spend less on games and have more disposable income on other things like going out with friends but what would you know, autist
what do you even use these useless steam bucks for?
you do know torrents are a thing
>>321181861
some people like playing multiplayer, receiving patches in a timely manner, being able to easily install games anywhere they can log in, not having to worry about seeds and not having to run shady chinese botnet code on their home computers
>>321182031
>receiving patches in a timely manner
fun fact
people who torrented witcher 3 got their fuck huge patches way sooner than the paying customers due to steam and the shitty GOG site being too weak to handle the traffic
>>321174342
Once you collect all the cards from one game it automatically switches to the next game and you don't need to have them installed.
>>321181861
Can't play multiplayer on pirated shit, esspecially now that literally fucking nothing has LAN support anymore.
