Witchmaster (@Witchmaster) reported@ConanExiles So @steam forced my game to update , despite being hidden. Will you be fixing any of the broken mechanics brought on by this Enhanced con? Let's start small, give me back farenheit temperatures. Oh, and the ability to change mod layouts from the launcher that no one wanted.

Chris (@no1089) reported@Steam and @FrameworkPuter 's 3rd parties being hacked days apart - exposing all my personal details is just great. Thank you both for your concern regarding the incident. I feel really valued as a customer. /s "Expect fake messages - email, SMS or phone - that mention your hardware order and appear to come from Steam, Valve or a delivery company. They may quote your address back to you to prove they're genuine. They may ask you to confirm a delivery, pay a small customs or redelivery fee, or sign in somewhere to “verify” your order. Treat all of them as fake."

xi lan (@Xao_lanVT) reported@ImCadeYT @Steam You got a better deal because the Steam Machine isn’t reliable and has a lot of problems. The Deck, on the other hand, is reliable and portable to boot.
-
Whiteevo6 (@White_Evo6) reported@PlayStation Change the laws so we own digital games, movies and music we purchase If you want a digital future then we own what we buy and can trade it just like a disc and you’re forced to provide this service otherwise you, @XBOX and @Steam can all go to hell

Gærsstapa (@gaersstapa) reported@allefornication @Zoroarts @Steam Well that's the thing, replayability does include wasting the players time, but the player doesn't mind because usually they unlock new things (skills, characters, cards, paths, etc). Blue Prince is a good example- 1 going through of the game is fairly short, however through subsequent playthroughs you unlock new cards/rooms and this opens up new paths of progression. Now in a slop game, which are highly focused on online/co-op experiences, they are generally short, a round of Meccha Chameleon lasts like 10 minutes all together, and that's it, games done. However the reason players keep going back is because of that online experience, which in itself creates new adventures and paths and opportunities. Now you've gone from 10 minutes, to 2, 5, 10+ hours of gameplay all on the same short loop and a handful of maps. And this game apparently does not have that replayability factor, if I were the dev, even though I've had a highly successful launch (most indies sell about 2000 copies on average I think) selling many hundreds of thousands of copies, even with that high refund rate, I would sit there and try and figure out why people are refunding firstly, and secondly why is my player count low. Are those things I can fix or are they things for me to learn going into my next game. And its ok btw, I had to make dozens of demos, and game jam games before I had an idea that was solid enough for people to play. So on that one fair do's to him, however you don't ask for a system to be upended on the basis of a handful of reviews that took the piss against potentially many others that refunded because they thought your game sucked. So when I say pad it out that does not just mean add **** for shits sake, which is what people think because they aren't developers, but it also means how can I create a more engaging gameplay loop, how do I attract my target audience, how do I keep them having fun. And if you haven't answered these questions, what are you doing. And gameplay loops btw aren't long, they are often anywhere from a minute to 10-20 minutes. Break down any game that you've played and you realise this is the case, even open world games when you might get dozens to hundreds of hours of game time.

Ets (@ets_vn) reported@Steam please how do I get in touch with your support. I cannot login into my account as it has been stolen and I cannot reset my password. I have tried everything on the support websites but no success please help.
-
M.Safwan (@MSafwan14479038) reported@Steam_Support I have lost my login ID. The @Steam ID is not connected to anyone, i.e. my phone. I remember my gmail but I still can't access the software. I can't play games. Please help me @Steam_Support
-
Formal Gangster (@FormalgangsterK) reported@PlayApex I can’t buy apex coins for some reason. Steam won’t authorize. You might see if there’s a fix you guys could make with @Steam @Steam_Support I just want to support a game and a couple of companies I love 🫶🏻💙
-
✨Yutami✨ - Comms Open! (@ArtbyYutami) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I am so sorry this happened and Im glad that person commented as a way for you to see your game isnt the issue, even if they are part of the problem. I hope they change this for smaller games.

Whiteshadow (@whiteshadow_001) reported@ArtemR @Steam People have stated issues with the overall thermals being very poor

PokeNeru (@PokeNeru_) reportedTFW I was trying to buy the Kingdom Hearts bundle on STEAM. It gave me an error that my address is wrong but it still charged me. Now I'm out $30 and no games... @Steam @Steam_Support help pleaseeeee
-
Gingersnaps (@GingersnapsTM) reported@Zoroarts @Steam If you put that DLC you're peddling in the base game instead it would be long enough that nullify this issue.
-
SwimmingLink (@SwimmingLink) reported@Steam The Steam Mobile App crashes upon pulling up the 2FA prompt making it impossible to log in. Please fix.
-
KalicoShade (@MidKnightKurama) reported@jx @ImCadeYT @Steam Take 5 seconds to go to the article, “CEVA received specific delivery-related information from Steam to be able to ship physical hardware to customers in Europe, and told us these are the details the attacker likely took.” So yes it COULD lead to order issues.
-
Arcamean (@Arcamean) reportedHey @Steam_Support @Steam Any chance of getting an option to IGNORE ALL UPDATES for select games? It's REALLY irritating when your favorite mods are broken because the game updated... (thanks Bethesda really wanted that :p)
-
Beuk meuk (@tacticaltwitman) reported@Steam Hello steam, why is it so troublesome to change a password when you want to login to a new device? I managed to change it somehow. However i cannot login with this new password? Wtf is up with this?
-
johnny utah (@vinnychase1764) reported@Steam your support sucks. You won’t refund a game that has under 4 hours of play time. You see all the reviews. It’s broken.
-
Robert Stephenson (@CrakaLakaGetSum) reportedHey @Steam fix your stuff! I have funds in my wallet but can’t utilize them? Why? I’ve done all the steps listed but still won’t work. @Steam_Support
-
Jamie (@Jximiee) reported@martis_off @Steam I’ve had this problem before, try signing out of all devices after resetting your password that did the trick for me. Once you’ve done that reverse all the trades and you should be sweet.
-
Sunkanmi Fafowora (@the_jonin_) reportedThat's why @Steam still remains the best company out there, and it's not even close. Their customer service is literally unbeatable at this point. Still saw the recent news of the refund based on the fact that the gamer was cheated in a way after many hours of playthrough.

X|1MantisPhoenix (@1mantisphoenix) reportedSony should refund people that they take media away from, OR let them ultimately ∞ be able to access it like they paid for, when they bought it in the first place. Look at @Steam for good models of digital ownership. When a game leaves the store, it's no longer purchasable for new players. BUT< anyone that previously purchased that, can play it till they're sick of it. Blackouts will starve gamers, maybe even help them quit gaming... I doubt Sony is going to change their minds... but they can at least give 2TB/4TB nvme's for the prices they're going to expect in the future, and thanks to the size of games down the line too... There's too many sides to this to really bive one definitive solution or answer... but it should start with good online digital store etiquette to help counter the problem they're creating. Monopolies all suck. I hate publisher prices for my region on Steam, but Steam still lets me activate games that I get keys for outside of Steam. The grey market is my second home and steam is the platform to collect the achievements, the cards, the badges, etc. Thanks for that Gabe Newell

Morgan Devreaux (@MorganDevreaux) reportedHe is the most evil of evil and the most overpowered annoying dumb and stank character ever. #victorisoverparty because there’s no reason for him to exsist the way he does in this damn game. Because WHY does he have stank aura!! @valvesoftware @Steam @IntelDeadlock FIX THIS
