These profile decorations are not fun anymore.

I was happy I was able to keep the lunar new year background, but I'm not happy I'll never get to use it again. Same goes for these temporary additions that keep coming and going. Only thing I can safely invest in is badges and backgrounds but it's a real joy kill to buy a profile theme and never get to use it ever again after a given date. 5,000 points? This is the same scheme as before :<

Edit: since there are already several topics about this. I think I'll just stop replying to this one.

Yep, not worth it.

It was WAY better before, because you were getting coins right away based on your Steam purchases. Now you have to complete some time wasting tasks in order to get 100 tokens.
I won't even bother

Yea they are going way overboard with the temporary profile decorations/emojis. I will most likely just spend my coins on the permanent, standard emojis instead.

I must've missed it, I apologize. I'm getting fed up with the same tweaked scheme they've used all this year. It really hasn't helped with the fact that their UI is getting so messed up I'm having to use discord now for pure voice chats since steam isn't using my audio drivers correctly for output.
Then there's profile themes, the most pissed away chance to make steam even better for social media customization than it has ever been before. It's nice to see something different but to pay money for expiring digital merchandise is breaking bank..

there is literally NO POINT in doing anything with this event
the only thing that could have been useful was the coupon but it being temporary makes it effectively worthless. a good coupon could be used even years after.

all the rest is either temporary, or worthless forum stuff, or both.

there is literally no point to getting dragged trough such excruciating tasks is really not worth it. your time is better spent elsewhere on more personnaly rewarding tasks

Well I guess being like a hundred exp away from a second showcase may be the reason I do it, I'm surprised they're not just letting people keep their fancy gold font forever given how much it costs to begin with.

I know most people dont wanna hear this, but Epic deals are better. I never bought anything there yet, but the unlimited 15 coupon discount is really tempting. I feel like Steam sales right now are just about profiles and some trinkets.

My excuse is I have a huge library of games and I'm getting old. The industry has shifted more to microtransactions and lousier customer service. Last thing I'd need right now is to go buying games from another source only to face more problems dealing with their bad practices. Steam is crap sure, but it's just a lesser evil I can bare with until these corporate losers start competing to improve these services rather than screw us. I couldn't give a rat's left ass cheek who's got the better deals.

You really are getting old. Apparently lonely as well

Can you please stop with the personal attacks?

I tend to like the event profiles, especially the lunar new years one, but this profile is an atrocity. Who thought this design was acceptable?

Look at it.
The colors are aweful, the tables look like they were made in painter, by a 2nd grader...

Come on valve :c
