Five easy steps to make easy money

1. Buy the game off steam for $0.15
2. Launch the game
3. Let your computer idle while you do something. (eat, sleep, drink ect.)
4. Come back in a few hours to redeem your trading cards
5. Sell these trading cards on the market to make profit!
The calculations
After you idle this game you will recieve three trading cards.

These trading cards sell for $0.08 each on the market, although you still have to factor in the market cut. After the market takes their portion of the money you will recieve $0.06 per each trading card you sell.

0.06x3=0.18

Considering this game costs $0.15 and you are making $0.18 from the trading cards you will be making $0.03 profit.

0.18-0.15=0.03

Enjoy your free $0.03.

All the amount of money above is in canadian, keep that in mind. If you want to know the amount of profit you will make in other currencies I suggest you use another website or program to calculate it.
Other variables that can net you even more money
Lastly we will look at other variables that could potentially net you more money.

1.Foil cards- Foil cards are a very rare variable that add to how much money you could potentially make off this game. I do not know how many trading cards I have gotten in my time, although I have only gotten one foil card. But it still is a possibility after all. Now assuming you get a foil card for this game the extra profit you could make fluctuates depending on what foil card you get. If you get a EnvosFighter (foil), it usually sells for about $0.14 and after the market cut you will recieve $0.12. If you get a CouplerFighter (foil), it usually sells for $0.39 and after the market cut you will recieve $0.35.

Now if we want to know the min/max amount of money we can make assuming we get one foil card we will factor the lowest priced foil (EnvosFighter) in with two regular cards and the highest price foil (CouplerFighter) in with two regular cards.

Min amount of possible money (All number are after market cut)

0.12+0.06+0.06=0.24

Max amount of possible money

0.35+0.06+0.06=0.47

Now this is all assuming we only get one foil card, if you are really lucky and get two or three foil cards you could make even more money.

2.Market Fluctuation- Prices are always going up and down on the market so this is another possible variable that could allow you to make more/less money. So you will want to keep in mind whether you should hold onto these cards or sell them right away. My suggestion is to sell them right away because the more people that know, the more the prices of these cards will drop. So get them and sell them while their hot!

All the amount of money above is in canadian, keep that in mind. If you want to know the amount of profit you will make in other currencies I suggest you use another website or program to calculate it.

I will do, it seems a good money maker, make a terrible game but include trading cards and release for 5p

Haha make sure your game you make is cheap enough and has trading cards. So I can make more money!

paying for it, downloading it and waiting for the trading cards, then selling the trading cards, waiting for someone to buy them, the effort I could put into making my own game lol

Yeah and why not idle this game while working for even more money! You do not have to play the game, you can work IRL and idle it for money.

The effort doing this could be spent in work making a lot more! Say if you work for £12 an hour that's £1 every 5 mins...

I doubt that the electricity I spent on this game, and the lifetime expectancy my Titan X lost because of playing this, would make it up for the 0,47.
