Steam Game Nicknames

[Segue-7]

There needs to be an option to nickname your games because honestly how many people don't create fun nicknames for their favorite games they play, or shorten them? Dew Farm, Crumpany (of Heroes 2), FtK, MoO,

Make that three.

To be a bit more helpful:
sortnames or alternative names have been brought up quite often. But as they still couldn't figure out how to provide them with the library update, I guess it's way down the backburner.

I will do a +1 as someone who does that in fact.
Mostly for games I hate (like Fartnite or Cal of Dirty) but I sometimes do that for games I like or I don't care about at all. However this is mostly mutual like in TeamSpeak with friends or - as in this very comment - when texting something.

However I see the usage of it for some people so sure why not giving it a +1. But I highly doubt that this will ever be introduced basically because there is not much of support for it really.

You can actually do that already. Simply create a shortcut for your games .exe file, rename it and add this shortcut as "non-Steam Game" et voila you have your feature. To "improve" that you can then hide your original game.

You wont see the games banner tho as well as community stats when checking out that shortcut on Steam but it basically launches the correct game and therefore everything is tracked normally (playtime, statistics, achievements) as well as the ingame overlay works as it would do with the original .exe file.
