Changing Nickname in Steam by game
Is there any Tool/Application that changes your name when starting a specific game?

For example if i start Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 i want my name to be set to ^5Blu^4scream and when i close MW2 it will be changed back to Bluscream. And when i start CS:GO for example i want it to be Smurfs are gay.

Thanks for any help in advance ^^

I do not believe this is possible because your username specifically links you to all your purchases and awards (e.g Badges)
There may be a feature in some games to do this but certainly not in the major ones.

Also, most tools that are not invented by the game's creator are not allowed to communicate with the game.
Valve tools are the most common and can chat with Valve games like the VAC System

Hope I helped,

Not that I know of, the Steam Command Protocol doesn't allow for display name changes so it's unlikely you can do it.
I wish they allowed the protocol to change your name though, then this would be possible and my scripts could do some funky stuff!

Sad, but thanks for your information.

BTW. How is it possible to spam nickchanges in some hacks then?

Some games perhaps use aliases, another name ontop, and they modify that.
As for the hacking ways, well it's forbidden to talk about that, I don't know how/if it's possible to do that with your Steam account but it's surely not allowed.
Nor allowed to be discussed, sorry.

Why should it be forbidden to talk about hacks?
wars are bad also and we're still allowed to talk about them ...

Depends on what the game dev allows. Ask them instead.

there plenty of such games. i need to ask every dev?
i think Steam can make it more simple. after all nickname here is dynamic. you can change it when you want and play in game with another one....
just to do it manually every time is boring.

No. Why not? Because some game devs want it their own way.
