Why do so many Steam users not use avatars?
>>

slavs
>>
>>334381278
Some people use it to play games and not as a social media platform.
>>
You have to buy them outside of the US
>>
>>334381278
Maybe this question mark is actually their avatars
>>
>>334381278
throw away accounts

also slavs who don't wish to get recognized when playing dota 2
>>
Sometimes it's this, the people the played Portal 2 on PS3 I think. I have a friend who did that but then went PC and it's still his avatar.
>>
>>334381278
it is the edgyness
>>
>>334381278
>>334381447
Why bother using an avatar unless you are trying to be a special snow flake?
Don't say its for identification either. People are capable of reading, and those who you are acquainted with will recognize your account.
>>
>>334381447
I don't have any profile info or use it to socialize but I still have an avatar and a nickname that isn't gibberish
>>
>>334381278
Some people like to play games and not make friends with other faggots
>>
>>334381278
I have no idea. I have a good friend that used the ? for literally 10 years, then one day chose some random fallout 2 image. It's still disconcerting seeing the new avatar 2 years later.
>>

>Why bother using an avatar unless you are trying to be a special snow flake?
I appreciate it when other people have avatars as long as they're not being edgy or reddit because it lets you know a little about who you're up against.

>as long as they're not being edgy
You'd hate my dad, he always uses those edgy as fuck avatars on steam

I use an avatar because I think it's fairly cool and because I enjoy looking at it.

You do realize your avatar shows up in other places than your Steam profile? Like in multiplayer games

Because I'm desperate for a friend.

Yes, and if people use them, instead of seeing a bunch of question marks in a row you actually get variety and colors on your screen.

never heard him complaining.
It was quite some time after release and only dedicated sim players stayed, so no one complained about realistic scenarios + playing in full autism mode.
Best fun was when we were playing with other squadrons to recreate historical air battles.
