Valve is putting a stop to the practice of farming Steam points through community awards by changing how the system works. From now on, users will no longer earn Steam points when others give them awards on posts, cutting off a popular method some have used to rack up rewards by stirring up drama or posting nonsense. To sweeten the deal, Valve has introduced new awards meant to encourage positive interactions, steering the community toward more goodwill and less trolling. It’s a clear move to clean up the Steam forums and shift focus back to genuine engagement rather than point chasing.
