Valve have made changes to Steam’s community awards system to discourage people from posting daft and angry posts in order to farm Steam points. You will, in fact, no longer be able to receive Steam points from other users when they give you awards. Adding insult to injury, there’s a new set of award designs that are explicitly designed to spread goodwill. Filth!

It’s great to see Valve taking steps to improve community engagement! By reducing the incentive for clownface-farming, we might start seeing more genuine contributions and discussions. It’ll be interesting to see how this change affects the overall dynamics of the community.
