After nearly two years of collecting and selling the cards earned from various games, frugal gamer Adler Gordon felt that it was finally time to put his earnings to good use, sources close to the gamer confirmed.
“It felt great being rewarded after studying the Steam market and carefully selling my hard earned cards at the right time. Since my profits go directly back into my Steam wallet, I used my earnings on a new game purchase, making the remainder of the price feel negligible,” Gordon explained.
According to reports, select Steam games drop digital trading cards rewarded on a player’s time spent in game which can then be traded on the Steam Marketplace. Using his hard earned $1.07, Gordon was reportedly able to reduce the price tag of his new purchase down to $62.53 from $63.30 after taxes – basically free.
Experts in the field call this money hack “Gamer Math.”
When asked for more money saving “Gamer Math” tips, Gordon replied with the following that he would like to share with the gaming community:
“If you pre order a game and pay in full at the time; then, it’s basically free by the time it comes out. Additionally when games are on sale for anything less than 10 dollars you’re practically losing money by not getting it.”
Gordon tells us that he hasn’t had a chance to play his newly acquired game yet but hopes to get to it after working through his backlog.
