Thanks to @RadiNightingale for the news! If you've bought Alan Wake via Steam you may be experiencing the game in a slightly different way from now on. Today the newly integrated trading card system was incorporated into the game. This was something that was particularly of interest over on the Remedy forums, and up until yesterday it was only considered a possibility.
Thanks to @RadiNightingale for the news! If you've bought Alan Wake via Steam you may be experiencing the game in a slightly different way from now on. Today the newly integrated trading card system was incorporated into the game. This was something that was particularly of interest over on the Remedy forums, and up until yesterday it was only considered a possibility.
The trading card system works like this...
When you play certain games on Steam (eg Don't Starve, Portal 2, etc) you're rewarded with cards. These cards can be crafted into badges which allows you to unlock some cool goodies such as profile badges, emoticons and discounts. Badges will also boost your XP, awarding you extra prizes as you level up.
You can also sell and buy trading cards and unlockables!
