Profile Avatar Inventory Item
Why not make profile avatars to inventory items? That would be a nice additition to the current rewards if a new badge is crafted.

That would mean extra work for the devs of all the games currently on Steam to add them to their games.

Easier to let you upload your own.

It will also drag out one way to make yourself unique here if everyone has a pubg pic (No Offence Intended)

I know but that are not inventory items. Many games that have inventory items dont have avatars.

Uploaded avatars can cause copyright violations.

Sorry but by 'inventar' do you mean steam community inventory or something else?

Sorry, inventar is german and means inventory. Many words are the same in German as in English.

Only in gaming: people asking to make something that is free behind a paywall while at the same time complaining about things that once were free being put behind a paywall.

If a game doesn't have steam profile avatars then that means the devs didn't make any for it and you won't find anyone rushing back to create them just by making them a thing that goes into your inventory with limited availablity instead of something everybody can access with a couple of clicks.

A couple of clicks from where? I don't see any mention of game avatars in the store, library or community hub, have I just over-looked it?

On the edit profile page there is a link to them below the upload avatar option.

Ahhh, but no way to see what Avatars will become available for games you haven't bought though. Seems like an oversight.

It goes
* recently played
* your games
* all other games

The list isnt' well structured, but you see everthing there is in it.

Not all other games are listed, only a random selection.

Lol, the "More avatars" is only a handful on my one, so it's not *all* other games. the page is 95% "your games" for me. I'm sure I don't own 95% of the games with avatars.
