Icon for owning or using the Deck.

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

On the forums, can we have an icon for owning the Deck just like we have for owning a game (mouse icon)?

And possibly an icon for being on the Deck in the friends list just like the mobile icon we already have?

And the pink Steam name all over the place when using the Deck profile like it shows up pink on your profile. Similar to the Golden profile with a gold name?

Or the avatar like that one over

Just seems like needless E-Bragging to me.

No, I actually think an icon in the friends list would be very useful. For me it would show my friends that I am not playing from my desktop PC and therefore might not be able to talk (obviously depending on where I was playing).

Deck already shows the "big picture" icon for that.

Tell that to Valve who added the VR icon. Or the mobile icon.

Exactly! This is a great reason why they should have a separate icon for the Deck because do you know how awkward it is to type on this thing?

Your Steam Deck special profile "avatar?" No. That is not what I'm talking about.

[toidi]

Ah sorry, thought that was it.

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

Like the VR icon here.

Ah I know what you are talking about now, a little 0) icon would be nice, people would know your on the deck and not typing drunk :)

But as stated originally in the thread starter, you suggest a icon being visible on the forums.

Why seperate those who own the deck from those who don't? The forum is a place for everyone. Adding a icon would only alienate those who don't own the device and their discussion of the device would be regarded as irrelevant..

True that Peter, we could end up with elitism taking over. I settled for this wee deck logo to remind my sons and their friends that “dad’s playing the deck in the car while they are all at work and uni’. 😀

We also have a mouse icon on the forums for owning the game when we post in those game hubs. We don't have anything here for owning the Deck.

So how would this alienate anyone?

Do tell...

Elitist how? Do you call people that own God of War who post in the God of War game hub elitist because they have a mouse icon denoting they own the game when they post?
