......charging users a whole $5 USD to upload their own animated Gif would simply compliment their current sales, as buying a Steam avatar GIF costs much, much less. I stand by my initial post. Ty, though.

It's more about engagement and sales for devs/pubs. You being allowed to upload your own, even for a fee does nothing towards those two aspects.

About the devs/pubs? Walk me through the process. As a dev/pub, I create a gif and sell it to Steam for a one -time fee, or are residual ongoing payments going to devs/pubs?

They don't sell them to Valve to have on the points shop. They're all done for free.

The engagement is from users seeing the items, wanting said items, needing ownership of the game and 2 hours of play time to purchase said points shop items and that makes them purchase and play the game, netting the devs/pubs a sale and at least 2 hours of play time for their game, extra engagement.

You stated that "It's more about engagement and sales for devs/pubs."............but wait, you said the animated gifs are "donated" to Valve. So there's no income generated to the actual creators of the gif files.....(which partially explains why most are of extremely poor quality) .....Now I get the whole picture and yes, I still stand by my original post. We should be able to upload our own animated gif files, for a fee...hands down and then Valve could sell them also. ty for the info though.

Engagement = users using them

Sales = the requirements being "must own said game + have at least 2 hours of playtime in said game" to purchase said points shop items

You get it now?

I "got it" long ago and I still stand by my original post. We should be able to upload our own animated gif files, for a fee...hands down and then Valve could sell them also. ty for the info though. We're done here, sir.
