From the last time this was suggested...

First side is nice, and be neat with friends, and family making easier to remember someone bday.
Second side is privacy concerns such as fear of dox, certain kind of people that has problems/drama,and so on.
It's a double side thing, some people are ok, some people are not, can't win both sides really. The other thing is you can just set a reminder on your own alarm, or notification which is only access by you, and only way to get this info is if the person willing to give it out, or not, the other thing is that wishlish is up to each person as some people like their own wishlist to be public, friends only, or just private which basically they might not add games at all to keep things hidden, while keeping their profile public. or friends only.
Now could just do this, if you know their bday, just figure out what they really want, and by the time you figure that out, or you just pick whatever from their wishlist just gift them whenever, let them know.
Here as fun fact you might not know. Steam allows you to schedule gifting, basically if a game is on sale, you can schedule it to be gifted to your friend, or family at said time, then when the time comes your friend/family will get an email, as well a notification on steam if online that they have been gifted a game, all they had to do is click accept. And yes you pay the same day you're setting up the schedule to gift the game. Also please note if your friend/family don't accept the gift within 30days of the day it is sent to them, let say you sent it to be gifted on Nov 1st, and you schedule it to be given on Jan 8th your friend/family need to accept it before Feb 8th hence 30days. Also you can't schedule beyond the year after, let say we're in 2024 jan 1st, you can't gift beyond 2025 Dec 31st.
Another way of gifting is using Steam key, you can check for deals on games retails online, these keys can be given whenever, you can hold it for years, and choose whom, and whenever you want to gift it, all have to do is message to your friend/family the steam key, and they just redeem it whenever that it. Can use site isthereanydeal.com to help you find deals.
This is where I said for those that participate. Also I don’t follow on this doctors and raptors on electric fence thing apologies. I can see what you mean though. Just an idea.
Yeah this is where I said participate. I do like where your head is that though. It’s a great idea if you opt into it for friends. And it’s just one of those things. It’s the internet. There isn’t much someone can do with a bday alone but that in combo with lots of other personal information things can get dicey depending on where they stick that information and how intimate they are with your life. So yes only friends. Putting something on your profile in my opinion could be more risky. What I didn’t like of the original post was that they were asking and practically begging for games but it was a good idea. Just very poorly put. I personally just enjoy making people happy so I have gifted a lot of items and games over time. However it would be nice to celebrate things in my own little way with people. Admittedly I can’t talk to everyone I’m friends with on Steam. Some of it’s business, some I genuinely talk to everyday, some were just passing by but I always try to honor our time in some little way when it makes sense. This was another possible way to make things easier.
Nice to see you here as well…
As I have said, you could opt in. It would not be a requirement. It would only be used to allow friends to see or you could even select what friends get to use this feature. It’s just an idea that could invite more connectivity and friend acknowledgment given that some of us literally have hundreds of friends and in some cases even more.
As already said steam doesn't store that info, nor would they want to. Its personal data and it has no value to them. As a general rule businesses want to store as little personal data as possible as it puts them and you at risk in case there is ever a security breach or their database is compromised.
As a general rule steam should store as little of your personal data as possible, not be bloated with MORE personal data.
You are assuming everyone does business one way, and you’re assuming that business was all the reason for it even though I said for personal, and again I said you could opt into it. There is no reason to be unsettled here. So relax. If you don’t like the idea good for you. However this is literally a suggestion pool for ideas on steam. If steam doesn’t like it then it will end here and be buried in this forum, and that is fine if so. There is nothing wrong with sharing the idea so there is no reason to be so blatantly rude and aggressive on the matter. Again as previously said your birthday is not the same as your ssn or some other fragile information about someone. It’s a fairly common thing people would know about a person anyways. If people are more private about that info the reasons are their own and it’s fine. I reiterate for I think the fourth time now since the original post but you could Opt into it.
Yep, and since you posted the idea to a USER forum, you can expect users to point out why your idea isn't good. Opening steam up to liability, people up to identify theft, etc isn't really a smart move
No one said there is anything wrong with suggesting the idea, nor is anyone being rude. Posting the flaws and issues with an idea is not rude or aggressive.
Again you claiming that doesn't make it so
Its not something that should be shared randomly with people, nor is it something businesses want unless they need it hence why they don't store it. The fines for any leaks of that type of data are quite significant, and the requirements to how it must be stored are also very strict. I've actually dealt with medical software and the requirements for how you have to store and safeguard that info is no laughing matter.
Again, you’re assuming all businesses operate the same. We don’t know what steam would ever consider or not if it made sense.
Again as to everyone with a fair reason I appreciate your ideas and consideration of thought to the subject. Yes hippa I’m aware, this isn’t the medical field and I wouldn’t share anything that could actually link to you in that way. A bday alone won’t do much. More than that though could. Also remember how I said one could opt in and “Their day”. It doesn’t literally have to be their bday, could just be “their day of celebration”. At a point it gets a bit redundant. But I say that so that people can see what else is possible other than “no never couldn’t work just stop”. (Not that this was your quote but I am just giving an example of what is the usual response from select people on steam forums).
Again a birthday is literally one of the pieces of data that are used to verify your identity, its not as critical as say a SSN but you can literally identify most people with just knowing their gender, zipcode and birthday....
That would be even worse, people would constantly change it to try to get free stuff or just be a pain.
Not all business are to a point where they cannot handle birthdays though. Most businesses can and do very well. You act as though you wouldn’t have a disclosing item saying you’ve chosen to make this public info even if it’s a made up date. And again you would need more than someone’s birthday to identify them. I’m sorry but a date alone is not enough. Secondly you can’t just change your birthday on most other platforms just make the “their day” option a permanent one. It’s not hard. Like literally just make it clear and concise that once you pick a day as far as steam gifting goes that’s final. Easy fix.
That doesn't change the liability that steam faces for it, nor does it absolve them of the repercussions if its leaked.
Nope but its a critical piece of data. For instance you can identify most people with just their birthday, sex, and zipcode. Sex and zipcode are far easier for malicious actors to get as well.....
Again, giving up that personal info all so people can try to talk their friends into giving them free games on their birthday, which now might not even be their birthday isn't exactly logical. Especially when someone could just tell their friends its their birthday....
Maybe so but again you are saying it as though I talk to all 300+ friends of mine so often as to know their bdays. Look it was just a cool idea that could work if you were not so closed on it. It’s done if you don’t want in. That’s why there would be an option for it. And maybe it is a ridiculous idea and I’m sure if that the case steam will likely never implement it. However with world where people make stuff about themselves all the time and internet identities already being laughingly fictional why is it so crazy someone had a day to celebrate themselves? If nothing ever came of it that’s fine. I guess I haven’t had the unfortunate experience of people begging yet and I hope I never do but I just think it would be a good way to be reminded of people and creates a deeper engagement with them.
