Overview

Boolean value of true if the user's nickname has changed since the last time this person's information was fetched from Steam. This will be false if unchanged.

If changed, the user's new nickname can be fetched using the steamworks.getUserInfo() function via the returned UserInfo object's nickname property.

Note

A nickname is applied by the currently logged in user to other users, such as friends. This is typically done in the Steam client or in the Steam overlay.
