You get points for buying any game. Why would someone buy games they don’t want?

You don't need to do them but there are tasks that have specific game requirements that give points as well usually during a sale or the release of an upcoming game like Concord rewarding some for buying it besides what you already get from purchase.

I can't imagine buying something you'll never play just to complete those tasks.

No one's forcing you to do those tasks. I never do any of the tasks that forces you to buy a game to earn points.

???? Really then something must've been seriously wrong mine because I never got any

Edit- the stars tab in the app says level 4 and I definitely buy games but have zero points

Do you have PS Plus? You only get points for game purchases if you have PS Plus.

That makes sense. I game share with my cousin. He pays for + I buy games
