If you manage to accumulate 5,000 tokens, you’ll get a coupon worth $5 off your next purchase. Otherwise, the market is lined with stickers, emoticons, profile backgrounds, and chat room effects.

It’s a lot of busywork for a not-great reward, but if you just want some deals, they haven’t gone anywhere. A few suggestions:Disco Elysium($31.99),Sekiro($38.99),Total War: Warhammer II($20.39),The Forest($10.99),Raft($13.99), andStardew Valley($8.99).Here are the global top-sellers.
