Allow us to see steam profiles

Why doesn't the game have stronger steam profile integration? As in, each person's in-game profile has a link to their steam profile, or beside their name there's a steam button that takes you directly to their steam profile.

Safety, even without it people still stalk post-game, it'd be 10 times worse with it.

why so you can abuse them outside of gaming?

Most other games have this level of integration though. You can easily get to their steam profile. Some even allow you to add them directly on steam as a friend, not just in-game. This game you have to manually search someone up which aside from being a hassle, makes reporting cheaters that much more difficult and encourages people to use names with random characters from other languages that we don't know. Just had a blatant cheater that had a name with a bunch of what looked like Thai letters and Enjoyer on the end.

No I'm not that kind of person. Maybe you are though. Otherwise stop being so needlessly cynical.

I think this would be a good idea, usually a good indicator if someones being a bad actor because its usually the brand new steam accounts with little to no game time that cheat because people will usually do it on their alt. and if you dont like it just make your profile private lol

people saying so you can stalk them acting as if steam is your national identity or something lol

We don't need steam accounts to be accessible. For example, Hunt Showdown has steam profiles accessible to players and there is a culture of stalking / steam profile harassment.

It's more than enough to be able to add people through the game.

since i started to notice sketchy "good" players thus reporting them, at the end of the match i report in game then checked for profile user name go to steam looking for that user then report it. i know nothing will happend but even so thats what i do every EVERY flipping time.

That sounds like a lot of detective work
