The Blackangel Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I got a notification about a new item I had in my Steam inventory today. I looked at it and I could turn it into gems. What the hell is this? What does it mean? Is it like some kind of currency I can use in Steam to pay for games? Like a rewards program, or like the coins you earn in the Nintendo eShop when you buy a game? I've never noticed it before, and can't find any kind of explanation of just what the hell it is.

DarthVanity Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) https://steamtradingcards.fandom.com/wiki/Gems Looks like the coins and all that stuff is for customizing and personalizing your steam profile. A Google search did it. Edited April 26, 2021 by DarthVanity Re-read and seen "coins" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreiMirfi Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 For me, the gems are actually useful! I'm trying to have a high level on Steam, and gems help me get trading cards for game badges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I have never really experienced this in the past but I believe that there is definitely a good reason for it. Did it happen just one time or did it repeat on more than one occasion?
