Bravo! Valve should remove the option to Not Recommend games next, thumbs downs are mean and the measure worked wonders for youtube.

It will benefit everyone if top rated reviews pointing out shitty practices would be drowned in a sea of fake praise from bot accounts.

After you buy a handful of games you will have more points than you will ever need in your life.
I have like over 100000 points just burning a hole in my inventory because I don't care - i already have a profile background I like, and I don't want 10 separate showcases cluttering my profile.

The vast majority of users were farming them with offtopic replies, and it was always nonsense to browse through the first posts with things like

I'm glad they finally got rid of that.

No one looks at peoples steam profiles like that. The only interesting ones they have is for the steam deck keyboards and theres only like 5 of the.

The system wasn't well designed because it was exploited in this way. It's unfortunate that it had to be removed, I know, but it was for the good and health of the forums

yeah i used the points... why do you think everyone has the same experience of you? i gave awards to reviews/screenshots/mods i liked, i bought showcases, borders, profiles, etc. i've spent most of the point i ever had and didn't hoard them to a million like retards. i don't agree with this change and frankly i don't see why they couldn't just remove point gifting from the discussions and nowhere else. wait i know why, because valve are kike cocksuckers and this has nothing to do with trolling and everything to do with forcing users to spend more money to get points, rather than being gifted points. the toxic positivity shit of the new awards is just a larp.

The ironic thing is "is it woke" isn't even bait.

It's a legit question because reddit-tier devs (Veilguard) would go out of their way to hide any discussion about it's woke content to trick people into buying the game, and the question itself is valid.

It's a good litmus test to see if they ban the threads, effectively telling on themselves.
