Idle Master Discontinued

03 月 3 日 - JSHACKLES

In light of the upcoming Steam Marketplace changes next week, I’ve decided
to discontinue working on and supporting Steam Idle Master. As someone who is
unable to use the mobile authenticator, having trading cards put on hold for
15 days prior to being listed in the market makes the proposition of selling
them a difficult one. As most of you know, the value of each card can
fluctuate wildly in that amount of time.

This, bundled with additional security measures Valve has put in place are a
good step forward in that they make Steam more safe for its users. For me
personally, the cost of this safety is inconvenience. For people in my
position who are unable to use the mobile authenticator, this effectively
makes idling for and selling Steam Trading Cards a futile effort.

Idle Master started out as and always has been a hobby project. My personal
attitude towards it has always been “It’s something I built for myself that
I find useful, others probably will too”. The first part of that statement,
however, is no longer true.

Going forward: I will be updating the Idle Master homepage so that the “
Download” button links directly to the portable version of Idle Master. The
homepage will remain online for the foreseeable future, but I’ll be adding a
statement to the site that the program has been discontinued and is no longer
being supported.

The source code for Idle Master is and will remain available on Github under
an open source license.

Finally, I would like to say “Thank you” to all of Idle Master’s users and
fans. Without you, a project like this couldn’t have been as successful as
it was. For those of you who this security change won’t affect: happy idling
in the future!

簡單說就是Idle Master因應Steam新的交易規則作者停止更新。
Idle Master 網頁保留免安裝版本，註明程式不再更新。
source code 保留在 Github 為 open source license。

謝謝你，Idle Master。
