Thanks. When they gave it to me, they told me I could 'have it my way'.

Or they don't want others to break their escapism fantasies and refuse gaming platforms to become "social networks 2". If you want to show yourself there is already instagram and other platforms like that. :o

Yeah, you don't want someone to find you in real life.

I don't really care about that. If someone really want to find you he always can, one way or another, you'd be surprised. Nope, I just want it to stay as far from real life as possible, it's two different things from my point of view, that don't mix well.

Peoples showing their real faces bring also all the boring flexing stuff, everyone pretending to have the best life online and so on. Just give me a break with that, I prefer peoples to be anonymous here.

Yeah, well, this is my good side, and the picture is heavily shopped.

If they don't want gaming platforms to be like social networks why they hell are they using the social features then? Nothing is forcing you to open up community pages, go play your games instead

steam already had social networking features since it's creation, it's not JUST an online store
by that logic we shouldn't be allowed to upload any picture including steam defaults as we should just upload those on Instagram right? we should hypothetically all be forced to be question marks uwu

Yeah, I prefer being anonymous. I don't like the drama with real social media websites like Twitter or Facebook.

Because I find it interesting to talk with peoples when no social flexing is involved, when there is no fear of being rejected or anything like that. It's my way to try to understand others better and if they bring too much real life stuff, it will ruin it and I will probably leave as a result if it become too much of that.

It's interesting because peoples are anonymous and can talk sincerely without fearing anything. If they link their true identity with it, it change everything, we'll see the same boring things peoples post all around, pretenting to be better than others and so on. And I'm tired of all these social network BS, professional social network being the worst about that (Linkedin). I just want for it to feel less fake, more genuine and a lot of peoples just can't do that with their real faces.

If they have a problem with my picture then they can cry about it to their parents.
