SteamerCard Overview

SteamerCard is an online freeware service provided by UberGames. Similar to the GamerCard concept of Xbox Live, SteamerCards are the statistics and profiles of peoples' Steam accounts, condensed into a card that can be displayed on various sites.

SteamerCards display a multitude of information about a specific Steam profile, all in a small 202x140 pixel card. The information displayed includes the user's name, their location, their main Steam statistics as well as specific statistics on the latest games they have played.

With SteamerCards, Steam gamers can be proud to go around showing off their Steam statistics outside of the game world and may be placed in such places as blogs, online social sites and personal websites.


Features

Steam Profile and Statistics
Each SteamerCard displays as large array of information pertaining to the Steam Profile it is registered to. It includes such information as the user's profile name, their country of origin (if provided), a snapshot of their avatar, and statistics on the account such as gaming time and Steam Ranking. In addition, it also shows the latest games the user has been playing and the two main groups they are involved with.

Mouse-over Information
Upon mousing over the various elements, multiple tooltips will appear giving more detailed information about that element including the user's real name, their country's name, as well as the aggregate hours they've spent in each game.

Automatic Steam Updates
The SteamerCards are all automatically refreshed from the Steam servers once every hour. This means your statistics will be shown closely up to date.


Requirements

SteamerCards require a fully live and online Steam profile to connect to. These profiles must be set to public view mode, and must have unique custom URLs configured from the profile settings.
