You'll no longer earn Steam points from community awards, as Valve try to kill off clownface-farming

  I was very happy when I saw this change on Steam. So tired of looking at the comments of some game’s patch notes only to see blatant homophobia and transphobia with 500 clown awards as one of the top comments. I mean, people will probably still do it, because people are assholes. But at least they’re not getting rewarded for it anymore.

    It’s probably too late and part of the culture now. Things like this have to be slapped down immediately before they take root.

  I’ve never used any steam points. Is there something I’m missing?

    Nope. Just useless profile decorations and people using reactions to troll on the forums.

    I kinda like the profile decorations and themes and since it doesn’t cost me anything, might as well use it.
