Valve, apparently unhappy with the lack of competition between teams, changed the contest to award second- and third-place prizes to the runners-up each day. Purple may still come away with first place, but at the outset of today it’s already a tight race between the colors. “The game has changed,” a post on the Purple team subreddit reads. “We need to let purple win but go for second,” a member of team Red comments. "What the heck guys? It's purple's day!" a Pink thread exclaims. Lendon, the Red team member I spoke to, wrote back to me this morning after he noticed Valve's change to the competition. "It's turned into a free-for-all, once I had heard of the news I knew it was going to go to hell.
Valve no doubt benefits the most when teams are equally competitive as it drives everyone, not just one team, to purchase cards and craft badges.
Those from the Reddit and Steam communities that were working together on this in previous days called themselves "Team White." Many of them are a bit upset at this dramatic turn of events, going so far as to cry foul when Team Red apparently broke the agreement that would let Team Purple win today. Needless to say, there is now a battle between Team Red and Team Purple. However, most people don't really care.
