The steam points reward system was a mistake

and i hope that its creators have lost sleep over the consequences of their creation. steam discussions are objectively worse now.

It's probably a "customer loyalty system" or "program."

If you can just look that up on the internet, then it makes sense from a company perspective, and you can understand it.

Discussions are the same as they always were, only now you might get free points for what you say.

And yet that did not stop you giving 11 Jester awards.

Oddly i do not see you complaining about the 12,000 points you got from receiving 60 Jester awards.

And here we have the winning answer.

Steam points are fine. People get them, buy fancy stuff for their profiles, chat emotes...

The moment Steam decided to gamify community posting and add rewards to it... That's when things went south bad.

Being unable to tell the difference thanks to the current state of discussions proves my point. But for the record, no I'm not

It's undeniable. They should have used Steam points for a proper loyalty program.

One of, if not, THE dumbest addition to their platform.

Steam reviews and forums discussions have turned into a cesspool for a reason.
