Emoticons have been around for awhile and now gamers have their own! You don't have to like it but hard not to accept it :) To obtain more you can go to the market and purchase or craft badges by collecting Trading Cards (play game, trade, buy missing if need be) Also don't have to like it but it's there and some of us who collected sports/garbage pail kids really dig it and the additional booster packs!

GO GET YOUR CARDS! :tradingcard::tradingcardfoil:

so how do you do them without the button?

You type them in. If you go to your inventory and say you have a :happymeat: emote then type (without spaces) : happymeat : It should tell you the command when you highlight the item in your inventory. Or you can just add the colons to both sides yourself after looking up the name of the emote.

If you participated in the Trading Card beta you should have at least 1. Otherwise you'll need to craft a badge (collect a full set of cards from one of the games that currently has trading cards then click create/craft) in the badges section. Or you can always purchase off the Steam Market.

There may be other freebies in the future. Glad I could help others :happymeat:

I went and activated "Steam Beta Update" and steam had to restart but after doing that I still do not have the emote tab in chat. It's here for posting in a discussion :B1:, but not in chat. Wat do, Steam?
