Valve Rumored to Launch Steam Loyalty Scheme

Uskompuf · May 13, 2020

SteamDB developer Pavel Djundik has uncovered evidence of a Steam loyalty scheme in some recent code strings. The developer detailed how the scheme may consist of a points system where users can redeem points for badge levels and possibly game discounts. This discovery comes just as the dates for the next Steam sale were leaked to be the 25th June - 9th July so this new loyalty scheme may launch alongside the sale and replace previous sale schemes.

Djundik has also discovered potential changes to the Steam review system with the introduction of user reactions. These reactions include deep thoughts, heartwarming, hilarious, hot take, poetry, and helpful. Djundik has an excellent track record for leaks regarding Steam just last week predicting the announcement of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, so it will be interesting to see if this new loyalty scheme gets released.

A welcome addition in my opinion, but i wish they do an overhaul of the steam look as well.
Community Content can be improved... looks messy at the moment.
I think what's new section headline can be slotted in the side of the front page rather than all just sales.. maybe

Meh, no HL3, no L4D3? I mean, what is it they are doing over at Valve anyway? when did they last release anything significant? it's truly a good job that Epic is as poor as it is otherwise they would be seeing a large proportion of steam users giving them a big V, maybe thats what they need

With the money these assholes have, you'd think something really good would come of this. BUT, i doubt it.

Do Valve even had a game dev team anymore ? They must be bored if they stayed.

You know that they released Half-Life: Alyx like a 2 months ago?

Ah yes, I forgot about that. The downside of not owning Vr gear.

Don't feel bad, pretty much everyone forgot about that game already.
