Change Turkey to Turkiye

[Vedad Uşaklıgil]

Hello, I am a player from Turkey. I have been using steam for a long time. I have a problem, I don't know how much you care about this, but it is important for us Turks. You know that officially the name of the Republic of Turkey was internationally recognized as "Turkey". But not now. We changed it to "Turkiye". I will explain the reason for this briefly. turkey also means "turkey" animal. So I will say that you should change the turkey text on our Steam profile to "Turkiye". I desire the necessary to be done, much love.

This has been brought up before some time ago. That should give you some perspective on the likelihood of the name being changed soon.

Steam is using a lot of severely outdated geographic data and for the most part it hasn't been updated for a very, very long time. It would be nice to see it updated though.

It not a big deal. If they change it they change it.

Wanting steam to use the correct name for your country?

Sounds reasonable and easy for steam to implement, with no obvious downsides.
