Profile nickname is too short.

[EBCDIC Me]

Could we get a box that will hold ~ 20 characters that would migrate to games?

[Judgmental Amaterasu]

And then someone else will come along and say "~20 characters is too short why can't we have ~X characters instead"

Even game developers put limits on how long names are. A lot of them don't even automatically use your Steam name.

Imagine playing a game like CS and when you read the kill feed:

Lord Byron From The Abyss Of Hell Near Heaven Inside Eternal Purgatory In Flames has killed Bob

A character limit exists for a good reason.

I had to develope software in my career that had to accomodate increased name sizes from 'Charlotte NC' to Charlotte-Mecklenburg NC'. So get off ur little pony, pull ur pants up and Zip it up.

Guess what? This isn't software or data tracking. It's a repeated and predominantly displayed identifier that takes up screen space and time.

[Pocahawtness]

I agree. 30 is a nice number to me!

[Dr.Shadowds 🐉]

I want full paragraph of Navy Seal Copypasta as my nickname.

[Pocahawtness]

Reason I would like so many is I could have nice names like.....

𝒫𝒾𝓇𝒶𝓉𝑒 ☠️ 𝒫𝑜𝒸𝒶𝒽

Special characters require two normal characters so a name like that is actually very long.

You may notice most games will not let you have an username that long.

32 Byte limit? A byte is the smallest unit of data on a system. In general, 1 byte = 1 ASCII character. If English is the character set. I mean that's what I read.
A Capital 'A' is a byte - 8 bits in binary = 01000001
If English is the character set then 32 byte limit would mean a 32 character name.
My beef is that I can only see 16 characters of my name (one short) displayed on my game(s). The Steam interface at least shows me my full 17 character name. And probably/maybe up to 20? Dont know, dont really care but 16 characters is old school WEAK. Bump it to 20!
Thanks peeps.
