What exactly are you supposed to use your Steam points for?

I happened to notice i have a shitload of points today, but other than buying stupid looking shite for a steam deck or something, any point to them?

You can buy profile pics and backgrounds. I just learned that like two months ago

I just buy stupid stuff for my steam profile. I am pretty sure that is really all you can do with steam points currently.

13 years on Steam, I have no idea why I'm selling (once a year) achievement cards to create these points, either. 82K, and I spent almost five minutes trying to find where my balance was.

If you give me 5% off a purchase for a couple of hundred points, great. I have no idea. Buy an in game avatar? WTH? Mini profile backgrounds. Animated avatars and frames? Buy popular emoticons? This is Gen Z writ large.

yeah i've got 120k. i'm with you, if you could get discounts for games or something it'd be great but it's just another way of measuring e-peen at this point

Never knew that. Just bought a couple things because I had 160k points just sitting there. I give myself two days before I've forgotten that I changed anything.

I sell those achievements cards in the marketplace for steam credit. There's actually a market for those things.
