Free Steam Points

Steam Points are great, but they only come from spending money. My idea is to add “Free Steam Points” that players earn through active playtime and achievements.

These points could be used for:
• Cosmetics in the Points Shop (badges, avatars, stickers, etc.)
• Small discounts on games or DLC (example: 1000 points = 5% off)

This would reward players for their time, make achievements feel more meaningful, and give the community another fun reason to stay active on Steam.

Wrong:

How do I get Steam Points?

Whenever you make a purchase on Steam, you'll be given Steam Points based on how much you spend. First, we convert this amount to USD, which then converts directly to the number of points you receive.

You will not receive any points for funding your Steam Wallet or for any Steam Community Market purchases.

You can also get Steam Points if someone from the community grants an award to one of your user reviews or other uploaded content such as screenshots, videos, guides, or Workshop items.

Thanks for correcting!
