    @ThorinHammer @RetroCrumpet @Steam I got the GOG version but should be same with steam. And I didn't had any problem yet after 15h of gameplay. Some control choices are not perfect but you can get use to it easily.

    @CSGO @Steam we need a possibility to stream normaly without the third party programs command and a fix against all those damn cheaters, you play one round good, get reported from like one person and you face the next rounds only cheaters who are either spinning or aim locking in demos so fun

  • wp494news wickedplayer494 News (@wp494news) reported

    @Steam Further testing of the trouble reveals that using a standalone Google Chrome works for successfully interacting with a cart (after going to a different store page once you see a "Sorry,"), while doing it in the Steam client or Firefox results in actions being completely dropped.

  • awesome_squib Gemma-Louise (@awesome_squib) reported

    @Steam Are you having issues with your server? Neither me or my partner are able to add anything to cart. Tried via app and through website.

    Anyone else seeing @Steam store issues? I can't add anything to my cart.

  • Spartan221251 Sp4Rtyn (@Spartan221251) reported

    @Steam Why have you guys not acknowledged the issue that everyone is having in the store currently? Nobody can add items to their cart during your sale... kinda bad for business don't you think??

  • camachogabe Medical Semi-Professional (@camachogabe) reported from Chandler, Arizona

    Is @Steam having issues with their store or am I the only person unable to add anything to their cart? I’ve tried from Steam, browser and my phone 🙃

  • Blaireshadowpaw Shadowpaw (They/Them) BLM (@Blaireshadowpaw) reported

    @Steam why is it that Americans can't buy Australians games? A friend of mine wanted to buy me a game with money in his steam wallet. It was denied. This has happened multiple times with multiple different people. This isn't good enough, and you should fix this.

  • JeremyMoses85 Jeremy Moses (@JeremyMoses85) reported

    @steam has all sorts of problems today. Can’t add funds to wallet, can’t put games in cart… is it server overload, what?
