Makerscore is a quantitative representation of your contributions to the site. Certain contributions net you a certain amount of makerscore, for example, a tutorial will get you
As you garner more makerscore, the space in your personal locker grows (at roughly the rate of 40kb per point of makerscore).
Makerscore is recalculated in an overnight batch job (so when you don't see immediate changes in your makerscore, go to bed! Everything will be better in the morning).

Well they haven't been worth anything for as long as I've been here and I'm practically furniture already.

practically?
Providing it for a game, even your own. All submitted media also gets showcased in the Media section.
So once said game goes up the makerscore goes into effect, correct? so far I've been sending the media directly to the game's creator.
To get makerscore for Media, you have to be the one to go to the gameprofile, click Submit Media and add the media.

Is that 15 points for YOU downloading a game, or is it 15 per user that downloads one of your games that you've uploaded?

That 15 points is when you add a download to your gamepage. It has nothing to do with the act of downloading a file.

Scores for utility/plugin is not included in the chart.
While not a big deal, I also wonder why utility/plugin gives 15 points. Wouldn't it make more sense for it to make roughly as much as a script?

author=KazesuiYes and yes. I will make the fix/change.
