Pride flags should be included in the free steam emojis.
I'd love to use the trans flag on my profile, sadly pride flag emojis are rare and very overpriced on the community market.

I dont think our personal preferences is part of the Steam client since emphasis is on games.

If you feel the need to have them, purchase them. They should not be free because you do not want to purchase them.

60 bucks is a bit much for an emoji

The emphasis might be on games but it could only positively impact the steam community

Your choice to pay or not.

Others believe 60 bucks is expensive for a game and that Valve should follow Epic and pay developers to give games away for free but Valve does not do that as developers are free to choose which platform/s they want to release their games on.

It appears you don't know your fellow human beings.

Personally I think it's rather good that Steam only has a few neutral free emoticons. If people want to use other ones, they can purchase them in the community market or points shop if available.

Since when are we talking about games though, I'm saying like 6 pride flag emojis would be very easy to make and could be added to steam within a day.

How is 60 dollars a fair price for a pride flag emoji, I don't think pride flag emojis should cost anything at all. They would be a great feature for LGBT members of the steam community!

That's how a free market works. Supply and demand.

There are loads of various people in the community. They all would want emoticons related to them to be free. One group isn't more special than another.

Altho i'm Queer i disagree... especially since there are like a zillion pride flags and once you staring adding some people will want them all.

Plus! the standard unicode emojis work in steam as they do on browsers, twitter, phones, facebook, etc.

so at least you have those two to use for free. But i know there's others/more you can buy on the Steam Community Market.

Oh thanks I was not aware that the unicode trans pride emoji worked on steam, last time I checked it didn't but maybe it's because I switched to a different OS.

You are the one who brought up "price". You are the one who does not want to pay. You are the one who wants it for free as others want games for free - making it relevant.

Again you do not want to pay yet use the LGBT community as an excuse.

Emojis and games aren't the same thing, making a few pride flag emojis takes a few minutes, making a video game take years. You're acting like flag emojis shouldn't be free because expensive games on Steam aren't free. They're not the same thing, at all.

Should people not be paid for emojis? They should but you want them for free.

I am hetero and you do not see me using that as an excuse to get free emoji's nor using it to state it would be good for the hetero community.

Pay or not is a choice you have to make.

Alright now you're just being stupid, it's pointless to argue with someone like you.
