why do people put their real name on steam ID/PSN/Live? isn't

The real question is who the fuck still uses steam.

>>386421698
Most people

>>386421669
How else am I going to show people my 2000+ hours in rocket league to impress them enough to be my IRL friends?

>andrew furris

>>386421669
I dunno, I guess they are just fucking stupid. Like that one photographer guy whose name I just can't recall anymore.

>>386421698
me (OP) (totally not Andrew Furris)

Some people have nothing to hide and don't give 2 fucks about who knows what they play.
Not everyone is a furry edgelord from /v/

>>386421698

Steam has a 125+ million active users you idiot

>i dont need privacy if i have nothing to hide
What about when you run for president and your opponent digs up your shitty taste in video games? Try to think ahead a bit, you fucking retard.

Real talk though, why is it that everytime OP gets doxed he turns out to be a flaming faggot?

>>386422076
If someone wants to DOX your shit he'll DOX your shit regardless Just don't be a total faggot.
I take care of my privacy but some people just don't give a fuck. Not everyone is as paranoid as you

>>386421669
>isn't there is an old saying that you should never EVER revealed your true identity?
that's from the 90s
nowadays everyone puts their personal information on facebook/twitter/tumblr/whatever

Very convincing right until you couldn't keep yourself from being sour at /v/.

You don't* God dammit

>>386422235
The funny thing is that nothing will come out of this. A bunch of anons know OP's real name, big fucking whoop. They'll forget about it in 3 hours and OP will keep on living. Worst case scenario he makes a new steam account

>>386421669
>isn't there is an old saying that you should never EVER revealed your true identity?
Then the rise facebook happened and there are groups of people who look down on you for not putting your real name on everything.

>>386421669
>It's an episode of a SEAnigger being paranoid

>>386422306
i hope he gets a big ol pizza pie

>>386422827
sure I am.

>>386422306
Yes, which is exactly how it should be. What exactly do you want them to do, pay someone to egg his house? Stalk him for the next month?

We had some laughs at his expense, being the subject of public humiliation is as far as it should be taken. Taking the piss out of someone's reddit and twitter accounts is fine, but people not knowing where to draw the line and stop is the reason doxxing is against the rules.

What about when the opposing political party wins and starts imprisoning members of your party in the gulags and you posted an epic meme on your Steam profile?
What about when the reptilian infiltrators start purging everyone who has an odd number of Steam badges?
What about when you appear offline because you didn't want to play PUBG with your friends and a burglar thought you left the house and he breaks in and murders you?
What about when you play Depression Quest and your parents call the police and tell them you're suicidal?
What about when your wife, a hardcore Heroes of the Storm player, sees your playtime in DotA 2 and leaves you for a stronger man?
What about when your boss at your favorite community management job creeps on your Steam profile and finds all of your comments are "+1 rep, good trader"?
What about when you put Rimworld as your currently-playing game, but your mailman looks at your library and sees you don't actually own Rimworld on Steam?

I know man and I agree with you. Just clearing shit out to all the kiddos >>386422895 who think the hacker known as 4chan is going to ruin this guy's life now
Most amusing part of that thread btw was OP's initial image. He legit thought he was being cool

>>386423120
JESUS CHRIST WHAT HAVE I DONE

>>386421669
If you got nothing to hide, why hide it?

>>386423120
fucking this
>employer is looking on your steam profile

>>386423285
This. If anything using your real name takes away the illusion of anonymity and makes you think twice before doing stupid shit, like OP did.

>>386423329
Which OP, me or that other OP?

>>386423396
Other OP. You didn't do no stupid shit now, did ya?

I use it for a international phonetic alphabet transcription of my Steam name because people kept pronouncing it wrong.

It doesn't help because nobody looks at it.

>>386423437
uh.. no.

>>386421669
even my mother knew about that shit in 1999, jesus christ

>>386421669
You only think this way because you grew up during the dot com boom when it was common practice to not reveal any personal information when interacting with others online. Now that we're post-Web 2.0 and social media dominates most of the normie-net, listing your name, address, phone number, social security number, and greatest weaknesses is the new hip thing to do. Don't forget to cry about being harassed instead of just using the tools built into every platform to solve the problem for yourself. Welcome to the Internet. It fucking sucks now.
