GIF Images As Profile Pictures

[Kazzy]

I think this is long overdue now. Having GIF files supported for profile pictures is a must. We already have custom animated artworks and workshops etc.. so what's the harm for our Avatars being the same?

No, kazuma

I think there two reasons this is unlikely.
Before this event sale, its unlikely as the profile is something seen around more than artwork and workshop it's where ever the user is at
So putting any type of adult content there will be a real issue gif can make it more problematic as it can be a-ok photo changing to an adult one or stuff like that

Now it's even less likely as there selling animated avatars for points, that means if they just give you to upload them, then why will you buy one? you just upload one

So sadly I don't think it's likely to happen ever or any time soon

I feel like they've added animated avatars for the steam sale to maybe test it out? As for the adult content, the same could be said about the artwork showcases and workshop showcases. Plus there's adult games on Steam which provide backgrounds, emoticons etc..

Yes there is no clarity on steam's stance so they would not mind gif avatars

If adult games provide content on Steam then avatars wouldn't hurt.

I already said why its not the same, art showcase and the like are seen in a really limited area
Avatars are seen everywhere pretty much and are much wider spread

Valve adding it is unlikely to be for testing, its likely to sale it to you, if it was free that will have been testing, but they let it go out, but you have to pay points for it, making it more likely there going to start a market for it, what means letting you upload it, is less likely

I may be wrong but I assume that even an adult game is not allowed to make emotes that are 18+

I am not against the idea my self over all, if Valve all ready added there own animated once I am all into letting anyone make there own, I just don't think it's very likely to happen

They can blur gif avatars that the bot thinks are secual content or offensive just like it do to guides and artwork

Game vs avatar. Two different things.

I am against custom animated avatars and backgrounds. I see way too many issues with them. There are enough issues with the artwork that can be uploaded already.

You know I thought of this yesterday but there are way too many problems, and what's the point of buying steam's expensive gif avatars?

If u like them

but then there is no customisation and everyone will have the same avatar so there's no point and it is not unique.

There is more in future and some in reference to games this is the future, developers can make own gif avatars to sell in point shop for fun
