>>730791000What steam removed it?
>>730791063yep, axed
replaced by preggo man at least?
steamers, how do we cope with the censuring?
>>730791172Replaced by "positive only".I mean... if you expect anything else from a company that features ads like pic related...
>>730791172there's a "funny" award now to make it more positive. but at least awards no longer give gabepoints so you can't farm them by trolling
>>730791000Bait is gone I guess.
>>730791270Yeah I was gonna say that as well, the "funny" award is gonna become the new jester.
>>730791232And they all look like shit compared to the originals.
RIP all those clown farmers.
Steam curators getting purged WHEN?
>>730791290>>730791270It was never about the money, it was about sending a MESSAGE.
>>730791290You will buy the in-game currency!
>>730791375desu I can see the laughing emoji triggering trannyfaggots already
>>730791486Probably will work even better since they get nothing from it either.
>>730791000I'll miss you little clown
>>730791000They removed it?Then what the fuck am I gonna do with my point if I can't give clown profile awards?
Dog I thought that was SBI for a second.I was ready to get the champagne and shitpost like crazy
>Using Steam forums
>>730791592You can give Funny awards instead
>>730791592Buy animated animu profile embellishments.
>retarded underage baiting children on forums will be cut down in 70% due to gamification of points removed>you can still punish troons and fags since they get paranoid about anything and will take and see offense in awards where there aren't anyKEKYPOW!
>>730791592collect animated big tiddy anime catgirls with they boobs jigglin about
>>730791592Buy Steam backgrounds of sexy lolis?
>>730791107like your neo vagina retarded pass namefag
>>730791000based gaben making it exponentially easier to set off "special" people by spamming them with laughing faces that don't even benefit thema new era of steam trolling has begun
Hopefully it will improve the quality of trolling. For decades we had nothing but low effort garbage
>>730791000Guides are finally going to be useable again?
>>730791375>bottom right emoji
Why are clowns in gaming so oppressed bros
>>730792362Wonder if that dude ever regrets that video.
>>730792530Wasn't that like a live action Superman reference? https://youtu.be/SXHGWmj1ndo
>>730791375I miss him so much already
>It's just a little picture of a clown>ON THANK GOD NOW PEOPLE WONT TROLL AND WE CAN ACTUALLY HAVE A PROPER DISCUSSIONBro. It's just a fucking emoji. Do people just lose their fucking mind because someone posted a jester? Like they are just scrolling along, there is a little clown off to the side and WHATTHEFUCK THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN DISCUSS THINGS NOW! How does it effect discussion at all? Like what the fuck did the clown change? The fuck do people think is going to happen with it gone? No one will troll or shitpost ever again? If anything it's going to make shit worse because instead of just having a little clown at the bottom of a post they will actually have to make a post calling you a dumbass and actually thin out proper discussion rather than it being a teeny tiny little quarter inch smiley face off to the side.
>>730793056(You)>*no gaben points have been awarded for this reply :)*
>>730793056The jester award encouraged ragebaiting because getting awards netted you steam points and people cared about that for whatever reason so yes the fact that awards no longer net you points coupled with jester being removed will significantly cut down the shitposting and ragebaiting.
>NOOOOO NOT MY HECKING EMOTESGas all children under 35.
>>730791375Damn, soulless.
>>730791000
>>730793251>jester being removed will significantly cut down the shitposting and ragebaiting.
Glad it's gone, you could fairly reliably go to any big games announcement page and see this pasta in the replies. The people posting it didn't even own the games and would spam the ratings to their actual accounts.This one mentions monsters because it was posted under Monster Hunter Wilds.
>>730793457Cry me a river, shitter.
this is good. i don't know why i got clown reacted on my profile. i almost never play multiplayer and when i do i go for support roles and ask whoever what they want me to do. it was very hurtful getting that award. maybe they didn't like a review i left i dono. i emailed steam last week about it and they said they're going to look into it i'm glad they did.
>>730791232They couldn't even get it to smile hahahaha
>>730791375Half of these mean the same fucking thing
>>730791375why TWO furry paraphernalia emotes???
>>730793457>NOOOOOOOO I NEED TO SHIT UP THE FORUM DISCUSSIONS AND LOWER IT'S USER QUALITY TENFOLD FOR FUNNNN AND REDDIT AWARDS!!!!you need to be 18 to use this site
>have account with 500+ games>don't give a shit about my profile page or community emotes>just play gamesAm I the only one?
>>730793538oh it's still there :(
>>730793457>No funYeah, the absolute blast of seeing idiots rush every big game news page to post, "Developer please add more LGBT+ content to the game!", or the polar opposite to farm fucking clown emogis for badges will truly be missed.
>>730793573What?
>>730793056people used to farm points by posting the most inane shit possible, while it won't kill trolling altogether it will kill one of the biggest incentive to ragebait on discussion boards
>>730791375I don't know about you guys, but I'm hedging my bets on the coffee.
Hopefully this will stop the retarded guides on "How to start the game" clogging up the list
>>730793619cone dick and donut
>>730791000I've seen clown emotes on perfectly reasonable negative reviews of games leading me to believe shills used them to bully people critical of their trash games. It's good that they can no longer do that at least.
>>30107048
>>730793598The original awards given and received haven't been removed, you just cannot give or receive them anymore.
>>730793672nigga what?
>>730793598btch ass nga you weak
>>730793713:(
>>730791000Removing the points transfer is fine and should apply to the rest except for the "Take My Points!" one, but removing the jester altogether is too much.
>>730791000If you partake in any of the steam community features you're the whole circus already.
>>730792814One of my favourite reminds me of the jump scare in vtm
>>730793715don't worry about it, it's better if you're too new to know
>>730793749You shouldn't expect much from failed normalniggers
>>730793763Nigger.
>>730791000And thus the wokening of steam begins...
>>730793708>>>/gif/30107048sorry I'm retarded
The garry's mod addon made in tribute to Viktor Antonov had it's name changed to protest against the new award changes
>retards coping that this will somehow make a real dent in ragebait and other trollingppl never learn
>>730793794that doesn't work on me, mr. new lightbulb emotestein
>>730791882holy buck broken by a fucking namefag lmao
>>730793853>tribute to Viktor AntonovLiteral who
>>730793842I need jester sex so bad
>>730793820Steam developers, please consider adding more wokening to the Steam client. The majority of Steam users will appreciate your support!
>>730793842>Juvenile>RetardedNothing new
>>730793854At least the would-be clowns won't be awarded points for shitposting any more.
>>730793457Nothing is stopping you from continuing to ragebaits. Only now you are doing it because it's funny, not because of "Points".
>>730793842>tfw I will never be a weary king, slouched on my throne surrounded by a harem of clown and jester girls at my beck and call
People will still post bait because at the end of the day they're after the attention ultimately.
>>730791000All of them are 500 points now, and they don't even transfer points to the person you gave it to, they legit lost all meaning, it's just Facebook 2.0 except you have to pay points to react to a post and it does absolutely nothing.I cannot even feed worthless points to my e-girls anymore.
>>730791375Wait a minute, that lightbulb emote looks like a Star of David..
why not just a pomni award? she's so stupid looking that you can't be offended by someone ragebaiting with her.
>>730794065>My e-girls
>>730791232The throwing jesters at anything that triggers them are the target audience for "ads like pic related", you're making no sense.
>>730793854The real redpill will be when people discover that "ragebaiters" were just people that disagreed with them.
they shouldn't have removed the old emotes desujust preventing people from gaining points from awards would've been enough to kill most of the bait farming
>>730791000Good, maybe now trolling and shitposting will be done out of passion instead of just using bottom of the barrel retardation to get points.
>>730791375>posted it again award emoji
>>730791375>that light bulb>get rid of the tranny award>give us an antisemitism awardGabe giveth and he taketh
>>730793538>it was very hurtful getting that awardlmao
>>730793596No, I'm the same, only much less games. Been on the Steam since 2004 I couldn't care less about any of its community aspects.
all of these are on my alt and the only game I've played is GBO2 for 2100 hours
>>730793472That's actually funny though. Imagine fighting faggot dinosaurs and dragons. Bazelgeuse dropping a giant used buttplug instead of bombs haha
>>730791375What a fucking dogshit soulles trash.
>>730794098It's glowing
>>730793538kek it was probably me, I liked going to the profiles of people that didn't say anything particularly offensive or contentious and slapping a clown on thereI mostly targeted those I suspected to be trannies and gay people because I knew they'd feel the most hurt by itI've gifted like 200 clowns just to random non-ragebaiting people specifically to provoke this response and ruin the little rewards section on their profile page for them
>>730793853Russians aren't human.
>>730793538Then stop being a faggot in support
>>730793853>using a tribute of a dead man to larp being triggered about something so irrelevantWhy are russkies such subhumans
>>730791375holy soulless
>>730791882Got absolutely sauced
>>730793472The TF2 forums on Steam was full of threads and posts like that.
>>730795430You can see the points in the image, the guy was likely collecting them for his ego and felt cucked over how close he was to a million. Clearly his real motivation in this so-called "protest".
HAHAHAHA YOU ARE A CLOWN LMAO!
Don't care.They killed the troon point farming which is based.
>>730795502Ah I didn't even notice how many points he has, sad people.
>>730791375Holy corpo "art"
I've been using Steam for 20 years but there's still an entire world within it I haven't discovered
>>730795685>been using Steam for 20 yearsI'm so tired
imagine being such a mental midget you get a nervous breakdown from seeing a clown and then you project this onto other people and think giving them a clown is some sort of 'own'
>>730795685Wait till you discover the "art" and "porn" side of Steam, it's like a group of ~100 people spamming AI generated porn/art on many Artwork pages just spam liking/favoriting/rewarding eachother while they promote their Patreons of just AI generated things from Workshop items to Featured Art Showcases and they unironically make money like this.You can easily notice the same profiles comment on a lot of cropped porn items on Wallpaper Engine and a lot of those Guides that are just cropped porn.
>>730791000>make a review about how a port is bad due to lacking features and problems>get clowned emoji by redditors that don't have the brain power to understand the actual point and think i'm calling the game badyea glad it's gone.
FIRST THEY REMOVED DISLIKES FROM REVIEWSTHEN YOU CANNOT EVEN CLOWN THE REVIEWSThis is a big mistake from Steam. Sure, they can do whatever, private company yadda yadda, but this is just a transition towards a feel-good echochamber where no critic is allowed. What's next, no negative reviews?
>>730796049Name 1 site that still shows the actual dislike number, and no, using addons/extensions to see them does not count.
>>730795946Don't have such thin skin
Check out the comments for some laughshttps://steamcommunity.com/app/593110/eventcomments/691998565820532380/Some are even insulting Gaben over this, kek
>>730796049The clown award was used for retarded reasons anywayGo into any store page of a game with fanatic following (souls games, hollow knight) and each well written negative review there is Clown-bombed
>>730793573Did people really forget that gabe was a brony?
Clussy thread?
>>730796083no idea, le reddit kind of? at least with the dislikes there you can curb the relevance of a post. Sadly the few sites that still survive to this day are all scared of real user input>>730796150most negative tools can do that, just look at the Chinese review bombings, but would you remove negative reviews completely because of them?
>>730793596>>730795104This is because you are antisocial trannies who get scared if anyone so much as types a word in your direction.
>positive vibes onlyThen why do the new awards look like shit?
>>730792814The new ones are soulless corpo slop.It's steamover.
>>730796336you're not allowed to complain, here's 20 new shitty stickers, now fuck off.
>>730793606If you're that retarded to fall for the point-farm bait, then it's your problem, not of the clown award.
>>730792814This dinosaur takes dick.
>>730791375That's so gay.
I've had a few genuine posts get derailed by dumbass Redditor types spamming this retarded emote on them because they don't agree with me. Fuck the jester and all the faggots who used it. You have to be a real loser to spend money to put an emote on someone's comment.
>>730792814"Him?" Anon it's a reference to "Clever girl"
>>730791000Why would anyone use the jester anyway? You were just giving people steam points for having retarded opinions.
>>730793457If you're shitposting for fun, why would no longer receiving points matter?
>>730791375Ok so Im just going to start using the lifering as the "negative" response. >this person is drowning.Also people were blatantly just making posts to farm awards with shitty takes, it was a thing, the system was retarded before too.
>>730791000The fact that all of you know what this is about is a huge indictment of /v/
>>730793853Time to get all my friends to mass report this loser
>>730796615Points are worthless anyways, who cares?
>>730793450>members: 67What an overwhelming crowd to cater to.
>>730796783People below age 23 like ricing their Steam profiles.
>>730796876>67
>>730791107Cringe tripfag>>730791882Based, site has gone to shit given by the fact no one is calling out the tripfag.
>>730796876Rule #1 is to not join the group.
>>730794098I miss him so much.
>>730791375People are just gonna use the laugh award if they want to clown on someone now.
>>730796876>#1. Don't join this group!So by extension anyone who didn't join the group is a supporter.
>>730797004That's stupid. The only reason you'd say that is so you can hide the number of people actually interested in this. The Anti-Sweet Baby group knew that if you had the interest, you can make a show of numbers. Clearly they don't.
Can we all agree to spam light bulbs now since it looks like the new star
>>730796876Guys do not google 67 biggest fucking mistake of my life
>>730791000How come this was removed, but slow clap is still allowed?
Unrelated to anything ITT, but do you guys keep your profiles Private or Public?I had to Private mine because some dude got obsessed commenting on every screenshot I made because he thought I was a woman.
>>730791000this is just like when tung tung tung sahur was removed from steal a brainrotthe west has fallen
>>730797463how about you stop pretending to be a woman, tranimal poster?
>>730797463Keeping your profile private is fag behavior.Keep it public, but don't put anything on it. Default background, no text, no showcases, don't upload screenshots. Any customization or interaction with the Steam community features is degenerate faggotry.
>>730797463Hahaha look at this slut right here. You reap what you fucking SOW DUMB BITCH!
>>730797436That's gone too. See:>>730791375
>>730791375Yep and now you have to pay valve just for points to give awards to someone. I haven't bought directly from the storefront in like a decade because why would I when 3rd parties sell cheaper keys?
>>730791107HOLY FUCKING BASED, finallyragebaiting trannies will still try to points farm with other badges though
>>730792402Jesters speak truth to power, and power hates that.
>>730794065>wholesome>coffee emojiLol, lmao
>>730796430Anon, you might very likely be actually retarded. He's referring to the fact that the threads he mentioned shit up a majority of the forums and makes it harder to look for and find actually worthwhile threads. He didn't say he goes to every tranny point farm thread and clown emoji the niggers.
>>730791290if points ever meant anything to anyone i really am quite scared for the future of humanity. i can only assume that they were indian or something.
>>730791375The laughing emoji is rage-baity and I like it.All the others are globohomo corporate slop and piss me off.I thought steam was supposed to be based?
>>730797714>Yep and now you have to pay valve just for points to give awards to someonethey didn't change how the awards were bought, at all. they only made it so award recipients don't get the meager points anymore. you can still get a thousand points by purchasing some $10 game
>>730798093Tell that to the Chinese citizens and the social credit system.

>>730791000Nice trips by the way
>>730798194Embarrassing, clinging to your Steam profile because you have no other achievements in life.Imagine being proud wasting your money on a virtual profile that can't even be passed down after you die.
