Learned the hard way that changing your name now locks you out of trading for a few hours. Whoops.

Yes, it's a way to curb impersonator accounts. It's a good thing.

Well, guess it's a good time as any to go play some Pokemon GO and come back in a few hours...

Damn it Valve, I wish they at least announced this change. :(

You can still change your profile name, just as long as you also realize that it will cause a trade cool down.

Another new security feature due in large part to morons giving away their login information and having their items scammed away.

I know I can change my name, that's not what I'm complaining about.
