I have around 100K Steam Points and at this point, other than community badges to level up my account I see no real use for it. Custom profiles are not that high of a quality, and I use my Steam Deck profile anyways.

Besides that, you can buy custom loading screens for your Steam Deck, but a third-party app has already a lot more and for free.

So it got me wondering, what do you like to see?

    I actually think they shouldn’t, it already made steam reviews even worse because people are farming points with low effort memes and copypastas.

    I know it’s a long shot but at 100K points, as far as I’m concerned, you can at least receive a €5 gift card or something like that.

    I spent most of mine on buying the boot up intros like you mentioned. Other than that, yeah it’s pretty much useless to me.

      I didn’t know they had those. My points had just been sitting around, so at least got something I want to buy now with those points.

    I have 264k from mostly from purchasing a Index. Would love to have more stuff to get with it.

    Have they not already done so? They’re just a binus thing you spend on the steam points store for animated portraits and borders.

    One thing they could do is release a game where you can buy that games cosmetics for points aswell as real money. Again people would try to exploit it and “farm” points etc but imo a better solution than coupons or gift cards.

    Edit: or add into past games.

    My Steam account is 17 years old and this is the first I’ve ever heard of Steam points.
