instead of using your steam name, you can change your nickname in game, but your steam name would show under your nicked name, it would be a cool addition

I'd say yes, based on how easy it is to change username on Switch.
topaz briar
I didnt say its practical, i said it would be a cool add-on
if you want to change it

Its easy enough to change your steam name, and toxic players and trolls could try to impersonate others

not the case, your actual steam name would appear under your nicked name
wispy gulch
You can still use this to mock or impersonate others
Let's say someone named Fred plays a round of SN and beat another player who happens to be a toxic player, that toxic player sets his nickname to "Fred is a loser" or smth like that
If that gives you the idea of where I'm coming from
wispy gulch
I like the idea I'm just thinking of the counter argument
wispy gulch
well maybe they can add a ban-words list that they cant name themselfs
People can still bypass that
topaz briar
How?
wispy gulch
Not bypass actually using bad words but can use creative language to make a negative statement
topaz briar
like this for example? Lo$er?
wispy gulch
I doubt the word loser would be blocked
But yes those types of bypasses exist where people just use symbols or numbers instead of letters
topaz briar
Hmm, well they can individually block them but that would take a long time
wispy gulch
This is what it was like during the alphas, players typed in their names
But mostly the alphas were used for testing and youtuber advertising
So no one was going around saying bad things with their names
topaz briar
you do make a good point, but its either they add this and block the mostly used swear words, or they dont add it at all
