Let's believe that the reason is "these laws", yet they had another solution: not letting us upload custom pictures from our PCs, but adding a new screenshot system (because the system we had was too limited and we couldn't be creative or make good pictures) that would allow us to take pictures of our characters with poses, backgrounds, etc, using only the game's resources. I mean, there were so many solutions for this instead of removing F2 profile pictures, but they're too lazy for that anyway...
