About avatar images
Hello.

When setting your avatar from profile editing
From above
"Recently Uploaded Avatars"
"Your Game Avatars"
"More Game Avatars" will be displayed.

I recognize that "Your Game Avatars" are the avatars of the purchased games in my library.
However, in my case, avatars from games I don't own are also displayed in this column.
I'm concerned because this has been going on for over a year.
Are you experiencing a similar phenomenon?
I would like to know if it is a bug or if the problem is only happening to me.

Lastly, I apologize if this text is difficult to read as I used a translation tool.
Thank you for reading.

Yes. There was a thread like this the other day.

https://steamcommunity.com/actions/GameAvatars/

People (including me) are seeing selections that weren't there before from time to time we open this link. There shouldn't be any concern, those must be just free-to-use avatars Valve gives us. Everything is fine. :nkSanta:

Thank you for answering:tobdog:
Is it normal for an avatar from a game I have never purchased to be displayed under "Recently played"?
There's one avatar from a game I've never purchased...

I thought that what was displayed in the "More avatars" column were "avatars that can be used for free provided by Valve", but does this mean that there are also free avatars that are added to "Recently played"?

Seeing how we could see avatars from games that we never buy, I don't think it is odd if we also see them in the 'Recently played' section.

Just think of this as one of the seven randomness of Steam :lunar2019crylaughingpig:

Thank you for your kindness.
May I ask if the same thing is happening to you?

Yes, I'm seeing avatars from games that I don't own in my avatars lists, but my avatars from the Recently Played Games section are normal at the moment. :nkSafe:

Thank you so much for answering so many questions!
This issue is minor, but I hope it will be fixed in the future.

If anyone is experiencing the same thing, please let me know.
I'd like to know if this is only happening to me, so I'd appreciate it if you could continue to answer.
