Do you collect these badges?
2, 7, 14, 23, and 30 are the nicest this time, I think.

I went for level 5 this time round. I'm kinda disappointed in the badge this time round, like other times I've gone up into the 30s, even the 40 one at a certain point. I mean I do like that final snow flake but at the same time its a snow flake and not worth 35k extra

The snowmen --even the ornaments-- are much nicer than the snowflakes this year.

See I actually like the snowflake more. I mean the red riding hood snowman isnt to bad but its one of those things where if I went that high whats a few k more. The red panda is nice though I dont think I own one of them and I guess I can just save up for the 2 next year. Plus when I go back to look at emojis and backgrounds I will have some points for those which I did run out once

That is one really annoying aspect. What is I like level 8 and 10 equally but don't always want to showcase level 10? I wish steam would let you display whatever level you want of the levels you've purchased!

Oh wow man, thank you for this. I completely forgot about this other badge that you can only get with points. Went for level 5 one since it is the cutest and it just pushed me to steam level 145 so double win!

This gives me "oblivion dlc" ptsd vibes. $10 for a badge, level 40 badge equates to $400 spent, 4x a year for each season, not counting all the other emotes, backgrounds, avatars, profile showcases they make. These badges are the worst model they've presented so far. Looking at new game releases I'm starting to think in a few years we wont even buy games anymore we'll just buy badges to buy badges to buy badges and the satisfaction will be some sort of gambling machine.
I liked the point shop as an opportunity to get backgrounds or emotes for games where they are way overpriced like $30 for a background or something. Point shop exclusive items I find toxic especially when they come with a $10 price tag to start. You can buy multiple games for that money.

On the plus side, people give so many comment/review awards that the points stack up free, and there are only so many emotes to buy with said points. I'm almost always hovering around 150k points outside of twice a year when I grab the Steam Sale badges, where my total dips to like 110k.

That's if you get any awards, though. :')

True, lol. You gotta be on the spicy side just to be sure. :)

It's only 2 seasonal badges a year, but otherwise.... I don't totally disagree :)

Just went with 2, as reminded me my passed bunny friend this year.

The Seasonal Badge.
All the badge requires is spending steam points, and you get those by spending money on the steam store. It does not require spending money from your credit/debit card, a gift card, or your wallet--unless you lack the required number of steam points. You get 100 points per dollar spent in the steam store. I believe that money spent on the community market does not grant points.
The Winter 2024 Badge Collection is up right now.
I intend to update this thread from time to time with the new badges. The available badge on the Steam Points Shop page updates during the Summer & Winter sales. When the next badge releases, this badge will be unavailable to purchase.
You can purchase all levels at one time or you can purchase them piecemeal. If you purchase one badge, and then later want to purchase a higher-level badge, you only pay the difference between the level that you have and the level you are purchasing. Eg: The level 40 badge requires 40,000 points. If you already have the level 10 badge, you only pay 30,000 additional points for a total of 40,000 points to get the level 40 badge.
Each level of this badge gives you 100 additional XP towards leveling up your steam account, up to a massive 4,000 XP for purchasing the Level 40 badge!
