godofoceantides on January 14, 2026 12:04 am Why bother without the points? Why would I care about random worthless awards?
JingleJangleJin on January 14, 2026 12:05 am So they just don’t do anything anymore? What’s the point of that?
SupDos on January 14, 2026 12:09 am > New: Awards no longer transfer points there is a god in this world the forums specifically have been a cesspool of garbage from the moment they added these awards, I hope this finally dies out
AbyssNithral on January 14, 2026 12:13 am Thank god, finally no more clown farmers ragebaiting on every forum discussion
Wiwiweb on January 14, 2026 12:14 am Steam awards giving points, and the jester one in particular, were a major contributor to making steam forums and reviews completely useless. Maybe now the world can heal.
Super_Nate on January 14, 2026 12:14 am Ah shame, I enjoyed transfering my something million points to my friend ocassionaly who don’t spend much money on steam. But also happy I won’t have to see ragebait comments for the first 10 posts when update notes drop for a game
