Steam/Valve Games & Ingame-Items Image License

[WICKEÐ (vasil7112)]

Hi there community.
I am looking for any thread regarding the Steam & Valve Licenses for the Games themselves, and Ingame-Items.
While browsing the web i could NOT find alot of information about Legal Issues and such Licenses which would proof if a user can or can not upload images from ingame or the ingame item images such as this (http://media.steampowered.com/apps/440/icons/hw2013_allclass_horseman.b185ffdb9160003829a2a31a82ef0ecd9f4d8911.png) on their website for writing an article regarding that item, or just using the image on a general website related to Gaming.
It would be very helpful if any user could give me some help on this since i contacted Steam Support but unfortunatly they haven't answer yet, and thats the third week.

Thank you for your support,
Merry Christmas,

You can take screenshots of games through Steam so I would imagine Valve would be cool with it.

Its a logical explanation, but what about the items? Such as the .png link i sent above? It is an element of the game, but can i use it standalone? Or do i require a specific license?

just do it, Valve never sued anyone using their stuff, not even when you monetize it.
