Whiskey Tango Foxtrot are these cards and why some people buy  them with real money? i got all tf2 class cards, 2 wispmother cards and 2 nordic ruins cards from skyrim, and i have no idea what to do with them.

I sold a few of them and now I have like 3€ in my Steam wallet or something and have no clue what to do with it

Its worth it for the continuation too ac4 which looks to be a far superior game.  Just for the story its enjoyable and if you fancy the multiplayer its alright.  performance was choppy at times.

I decided to pass this one cuz I don't think the setting is sexy. Arabic world was cool, Italy was interesting, New World not so much...

I might get Black Flag on release instead for a similar price at some key seller. Pirates are sexy again but thanks for the the tips, it actually helped me to decide! Appreciate it...

wow, there must be some reason people buy these, so you get these cards when you play any steam game you have??

[Molly]

Don't think it's every game but just a few selected. I know Tomb Raider and Borderlands 2 do get you different cards.

I think Djavo made quite some bucks on this one. Maybe pm him here for more details if you really wanna know...

Kinda, yea. If you craft the badge FOR THAT GAME, you can get a discount coupon for another game or for a future DLC.

What do I get when I craft a badge from my Trading Cards?
In addition to getting the Game Badge itself, you'll get:

    a random emoticon item created for this game, that can use in chat or discussions;
    a random profile background item created for this game, that can use on your Steam Community profile
    a chance to get a discount coupon for a different game or DLC
    100XP, which may increase your Steam Level

If your Steam Level increases, the limit on the size of your friends list will be increased by five, and potentially you'll unlock the ability to customize your profile with showcases.

Yeah the setting was it's flaw. The cities and towns are majorly boring when compared with the others and though they tried to make up for it with the scenery, there's only so much pre-set paths along trees I could take. I was quite glad of the ability to fast travel so I could skip all the stuff in between. The story continuation was great though and the sea battles were just sexy. I'd definitely get Black Flag based on just those.

People are stupid.

You get steam cards by playing certain steam games - you only get half of the cards required for the badge by playing the game - you have to trade for the rest, or buy them off steam market. Cards are over time added to new steam games as well - it started only with Half-life 2, Dota 2, CS:GO and Portal. Badges in the end basically just give you visual stuff for your steam profile - you don't lose anythiny by not crafting them.

Except a bit of your soul.  Seriously you have to pay money to get a card which you craft into a badge which gives you a shiny token for your account.  Valve are turning into right money grubbing cunts.

You don't need to pay for a card. You can trade cards you get from other games, or sell enough of them on the market to buy cards for one badge of a specific game. Of course you'll not be able to complete all badges for the games you have, but you should be able to complete up to 50% badges without paying.

Of course from Valves perspective this is tax money on Steam market trades, but I wouldn't call them money grubbing cunts because of that, considering how much more greedy a company can get (EA) and how you actually gain nothing from steam trading cards, just visual stuff.
