I guess they should remove voice chat from games too, after all it can be freaking annoying.

Wait, that's not necessary, because there's an option to mute it forever, right?

It is expected that certain types of games include options to communicate with teammates, and to play sound effects, to the point that communication or sounds may be required. There is no such reasonable expectation that trash music should drown out your good music when visiting a webpage.

There is no single option to mute forever voicechat in every game that has been or might be created, except perhaps suicide.

But hey, sometimes you just have to be inconvenienced because someone else wants to play the first 15 seconds of a song while you're on their profile for 15 seconds.

I should probably mention that browsers didn't just change the rules due to a tiny minority of users.

My friend, that's called sarcasm. I don't want to see voice chat removed from games, because I can easily mute it. I can mute it forever, yes. I don't know what games you play, but those I play have a setting for that.

I take offense to that. What makes you think your musical taste is better than mine? It's probably the other way around.

What's sarcasm?

Your question is.

Anyway, the point is that just like voice chat, no one is forced to listen anything in profiles. Do you get it now?

Looking forward to it!
Anyone still remember Friendster back in the day? (one of the OG of social medias lol)
Man that was awesome gives me flashbacks of having a friendster profile with music and some naruto background LMFAO

Yep this would be a good feature but to avoid copyright and stuff make the music like within 10-20 seconds duration only.

Duration isn't the only factor for fair use; they'd still have to pay a license fee in this particular context. Game related avatars and backgrounds are licensed by the game publishers for use on the Steam website.

They could just pass the costs to the customers who would like to put music on their profile.I wouldn't mind spending money for that :D

Like I said before, various composers would kindly donate their music for free. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of them do that already.

Because there's no autoplaying music.

I was talking about a scenario where this feature is implemented, didn't you notice that?

No one would be forced to listen anything.

Well, if that ever happens, Valve would probably charge Steam points for the music just like they do for all profile stuff.

In other words, just another encouragement to buy games. Triple win: Valve, devs and users.

Except for the people who visit profiles.

Apparently, you're not paying enough attention to this discussion. Those who don't wanna "get blasted" can easily mute all profiles with one click, or Valve can even make this off by default.

It's "off by default" right now. If you feel the need listen to certain songs you can do that without Valve wasting time and money on it.

The real big surprise is there's no cost if people want to give their music.
