Feature Request: Whitelist for New Badges? #45

Closed TBBW2001 closed 9 years ago

TBBW2001 commented 9 years ago

So I've been wanting to set Idle Master up with all the Free To Play games and have it run down the list, but the newer build of Steam requires you to have opened a game before it gets listed on your Badge Page.

Is there a way with IdleMaster (or a new program) to tell Steam you're opening a game you haven't downloaded? And/or tell it you have downloaded the game? There are something like 150 FTP games with Trading Cards now. :p I really don't want to download, open, then delete them all. The bandwidth alone is prohibitive. :p

This isn't really an issue with Idle Master, per se.

Free To Play games have card drops, but you only get 1 card drop for each $9 spent on DLC or in-game using Steam wallet funds. Once you spend $9 or more, these available card drops will show up on your badges page and Idle Master will correctly process and idle them.

Ah, ok. Well, then I'm not sure what I'm missing. I hear folks who have 400+ idle searches and that can't all be purchased ones?

This is definitely possible. For example right now I have over 220 games left to idle, after having idled over 500 games already.
