If Steam isn't pay to win, how do I earn the points used to buy the profile doodads (avatars, avatar bezels, backgrounds, banners, etc) without purchasing games? πŸ€”

I purchased enough stuff in past sales that when that feature released, which I ignored until I saw one of my rocket league friend do something fancy on their profile icon, I had all the credits to buy all the top animated ones. But being stingy with the virtual coins, I still only pick the one I want to use and only buy those. one boarder and one background to match. What about my other credits? well they can rot or whatever I don't care.

I bought my index the day they implemented that stuff.

I was so confused as to how I got so many… thing… points?

I’ve never done anything with them and that was many years ago. Maybe I should? I dunno.
