A Steam user has shattered the record for the highest account level on the platform. Unbelievably, they’ve skyrocketed to level 5,960, but it came at an astonishing cost of over $500,000.
If you did not know the Steam account levels are earned by playing and unlocking badges. However, you can also purchase badges from the internal market to speed up the process.
What’s the point of having a high account level you may ask?
Well in real terms nothing, however, some wealthy users have started competing with thousands of dollars to level up their accounts, as a sign of superiority.
