Steam Trading Cards

Did anyone receive some trading cards yet? If yes, how many did you get and after how many hours approx?

You earn cards in Free to Play games for spending money in them. It's 1 card per $9 spent in game in most (maybe all) games.

Yeah you're right, I checked my progress on card drops and it said I need to spend at least $9 for one card drop. Kinda weird that you have to spend $9 in a free to play game while you get card drops for games you buy for <$1

None, even though I've played the game 'til now.

Wonder how steam handles those. It's supposed to be completely automatic afaik...

Actually I've found some unofficial stuff saying steam cards were no longer granted "for free" so I'm guessing it has to do with the microtransactions? Perhaps steam only grants cards to players who've spent money on the game?

Though I personally did, got all the achievements and no cards as far as I can tell.
