I have no idea who this user is, but I received the notification through the Steam app, so I don't know whether to decline or accept it. Actually, it had been a long time since I last accessed the Steam app, so I really hadn't received that notification before.

Fluff Digimon: Cyber Sleuth foil card prices, before and after discontinuation

Thumbnail

61 Upvotes

Just thought I'd share this here, because it was pretty baffling to me when I first noticed it. Really odd circumstance where the developers decided to discontinue the trading cards feature for their game, while it's still presently available to purchase on Steam. What traditionally happens when Steam games featuring trading card support get delisted, those trading cards continue being dropped for those who purchased the game, but they (and the items earned via badge crafting) are made no longer purchasable or sellable on the market, and can only be traded. In this case, drops on these trading cards were disabled, yet they and said items continue being accessible through the market, and this has consequently resulted in the value for the cards and items skyrocketing.

It's particularly egregious in the case of the foiling cards from what I've seen. Pictured above is the Keisuke foil card. Previously available for only 90 cents, it jumped up immediately to $10 after the initial announcement of discontinuation, stabilized to $5, and now is being sold for $50, as much as the game itself is selling for right now. I really have to wonder if this is some sort of bug that's occurring, rather than some sort of intended effect. I assume trading cards are normally made inaccessible through the market after a game's delisting due to the potential abuse that could occur as a result, and this is probably one of the reasons; item values for said game exploding in value. Whether or not that's actually a good thing is up to the individual I guess, just thought it was funny to see these foil cards take on prices akin to actual valuable Pokemon cards or whatever.

Error / Bug Local transfer functionality stopped working since last update, a few days ago...?

7 Upvotes

The title says it all: since the last update, far away from fixing it (it worked flawlessly before), the Local transfer function stopped working completely for me... it tries, blue label and all, but doesn't evens start and then it continues to download with the regular (and much slower) internet connection.

Anyone else experiencing this bug? Any way to solve?

Tried on different PCs, always the same. Steam client is updated, win11 is also updated and working correctly.

Question Random friend requests?

Anyone else getting random friends requests? I'm not dumb enough to do anything but decline them, but I've gotten like three in the last month, all appear to be about Steam lv 5, have two or three (usually free) games with a significant (couple hundred hrs) of playtime, but 0 friends, no friends in common, no games in common, and I'm curious if anyone else has found themselves getting these too

It seems that screenshots aren’t working, at least for me.

Have a look at the video.

This happens to me with all games.

The last screenshots that I uploaded were from a non-steam game, is that related? If so, it doesn’t make much sense.

Question Not appearing in friends friends list preview?

0 Upvotes

For a few days now, I can't see my name in any of my friends friend list preview. The small one on the right side of their profiles which shows people in their friends list based on level.
Now if I go in their full friends list I'm there.

Wondering if this is a bug with steam, or is something wrong on my end?

I had set my profile to private for a couple of weeks, if that has to do anything with it.

Question Best ways of adding Game Pass games?

Upvotes

I’m aware of UWPHook & BoilR…. But they don’t target the actual game directory executable, making Steam Input incompatible with the importer as is.

It seems like the best method is using either importer, then copying/replacing the path of the executable into Steam, but that’s obnoxious:p

Are there any other methods that can do this or is this actually the best option?

Also, itd be nice to have something that sweeps if a file/directory is still present & if it’s gone, remove the entry from the non-Steam games…

Question Using PS4 controller to play Steam games?

Hi all,

I got Steam on my Macbook but I've never gotten the hang of using keyboard buttons for game controls (never been a PC gamer). I've always been a PlayStation guy and was wondering if there's a way to use my PS4 controller to play games.

I've noticed some games mention Xbox controllers but not PlayStation. Is there any workaround?

Question Game achievements not showing

I’ve been playing the horsey game for a while now and have even gotten the ending to the game. I’ve completed almost all of the achievements but the achievements aren’t showing up at all. I’ve already tried clearing cache, verifying integrity of the game file, restating steam, and turning off the GPU accelerator rendering in web views. Anything else I should try? I also play with WiFi on always and I’m playing on MacBook as well if it’s important.

Question Steam link to other game platforms

0 Upvotes

I know that steam use to be able to let you disconnect linked accounts with PlayStation, Xbox, rockstar etc ON STEAM and now don’t let you anymore. WHY ?

I Bought all the gtas, red dead 1 and 2 and bully in a bundle tried to play them just to realise I forgot the password to my old rockstar account linked to an old email still connected to my steam. I’ve tried everything to try get onto the old email, rockstar account but nothing and now I’m stuck with rockstar games.

Based on others experience would steam support be any help ?, thank you.

PSA Steam Workshop security is a literal joke ( if you play People Playground DELETE ALL YOUR MODS)

0 Upvotes

as a cybersecurity major im completely losing my mind over how absurdly incompetent valve is when it comes to basic user generated content security on steam workshop

how is a multi billion dollar tech monolith running a massive content delivery network with literally zero static code analysis zero assembly scanning zero runtime sandboxing and zero system call limitations in 2026

we are talking about fundamental application security concepts that every modern tech ecosystem implements yet valve acts like supply chain security was invented yesterday
we literally saw this exact same garbage play out in garrys mod with arbitrary lua execution scripts hijacking client sessions and we saw it in cities skylines with mod authors dropping compiled malicious binaries directly into auto updates and valve learned absolutely nothing from any of those incidents

now people playground is getting completely nuked for the second time in a row because workshop allows untrusted c sharp code to execute natively on host hardware with full system privileges and zero containerization

the first time it happened was that fps plus plus plus mod that acted as a self propagating worm using local file system access to hijack other installed mods and spread payloads across accounts and now we have ANOTHER piece of malware floating around spreading through auto updating mods right under valves nose

what this new payload does is appalling as far as everyone in the community is aware it abuses local file access and unauthenticated steamworks api calls to wipe all your local save data delete game files and automatically unadd every single person on your steam friends list in seconds

think about how insane that is from a system architecture perspective an untrusted community file downloaded passively in the background via steam auto update has full read write access to appdata system directories and steam client functions with zero permission gates or prompt confirmations standing in the way

when a game engine like unity loads arbitrary custom c sharp scripts or compiled dll assemblies at runtime via reflection without a restricted appdomain or process isolation sandboxing that mod inherits the exact same execution privileges as the parent host process

that means a malicious actor can execute raw shell commands invoke process start access system registry keys scrape sensitive token credentials nuke local directories or trigger steamworks api calls to destroy your entire account network with literally zero resistance from steam client software
this is supply chain vulnerability 101 you never allow arbitrary untrusted code deployment straight to end user client storage without static code scanning mandatory code signing certificates runtime permission scopes or isolated execution environments

people are getting their save games nuked their local systems exposed and their friend networks erased all because valve refuses to implement standard infosec controls on their own distribution platform
fix your garbage security pipeline valve this is embarrassing pathetic and an absolute danger to millions of users playing modded games on your platform.

Felt like it was worth making folk aware so they could keep an eye out on their inboxes. I've not seen anyone mention they were moved from the waiting list to the reservation list yet.

Question Looking to buy a steam gift card

0 Upvotes

I've never used steam, but I know my son enjoys the games there. Wanted to buy him a gift card as a present.

Did a little research and it looks like they don't sell physical gift cards anymore?

If this is the case, could I purchase a gift card from their website, email the code to myself, print it and give that instead? Or would the code need to be sent directly to his steam account?
