Steam points? Just for cosmetics and stuff. Nothing game-changing, but pretty neat if you like customizing your profile.
Totally disagree with the 'just cosmetics' take. Steam Points are a cool way to get something back from all the cash you drop on games. It's a loyalty program, essentially. You buy games, and you get points to make your profile look cooler. It's more engaging and fun compared to a lot of other platforms.
