Less anime/furry points shop items, More cool items

[Psycho]

To be honest the Steam Points Shop is just really, really weird at the moment... You go to look at avatars or backgrounds, and all you see are anime & furry related stuff, plus a few cool things here and there..

I think there should be more normal items in the points shop. I feel like there's more than enough of the furry stuff and there needs to be more variety added now.

I don't even know what Steam was thinking when they accepted this into the shop, check this out: https://store.steampowered.com/points/shop/c/backgrounds/cluster/0/reward/115634 . It's a background with "furries". But it is blatantly sexualizing animals. That's not cool, idk why they'd add that


Just some more cool looking normal avatars and backgrounds would be nice

I have questions I do not want to ask about what in the non-repeatable word choices that is all about

The X-Morph ones are fairly cool, check those ones out.

Ask game devs to add good items.

I read that the devs earn a share with trading cards, badges and this stuff. Do they also earn a percentage from points shop items?

There is nothing to earn with points shop items...

Well.... maybe it's just a lack of incentive.

At least to me, like the trading cards, it makes sense that they earn a share on Points Shop items as well.

It works pretty much the same, isn't it? They are the ones who make the content (art/items/etc), and like trading cards it adds value to both, the game and Steam. Then I don't see why not.

There is zero profit for them with points shop items.

It is basically something they can say, "hey, look at all the users using our items and really liking them from the points shop."

Hate to break it to you bruh but stuff like 'cool' and 'normal' is subjective. And atm the "cool' thing in is anime and catgirls. As in alot of people like it (popularity). Devs prob choose if and what they put on the steam shop with prob a small part done by steam such as checking that it's say not Porn.

That thing you linked prob isn't going to be very popular but stuff like Nekopara will prob always be.

Nothing wrong in that.
