    @Howard_Lovy cc @pensandpoison might want to pick up on this. Remember how you stated literature was entirely taken over by the libs? Yeahhhh, this is another huge symptom of that. How is there not a @Steam - like service for creative works, such as literature, webcomics, etc.?

    I installed it on a different phone, a spamsung with the latest android instead of the LG, and was able to log in using that and my email. Then fix it. Think that thru. App-based 2FA is worse than nothing. @steam

    @stan_banatan @ManthosLappas @Steam You don't need to play a game for 40hr to be able to tell that it isn't good, clown. That's to say nothing of leaving reviews due to technical issues.

    @notskillo @stan_banatan @Steam Honestly, I don't have anything against such reviews, which I do get and always try to fix technical issues to the best of my understanding and abilities. I fully welcome those. Its the other kind of reviews I gotta realize that are part of the "game" and not worry much about.

    @PlayStation If I wanna play co-op games, I’d rather play on @Steam No need to pay for multiplayer for online co-op. And they have good customer service when it comes to digital purchases, which you DON’T Ya sure can REALLY afford to go discless? #NoDiscNoBuy

    @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.

  • ColinEspMusic
    Cogglesz (@ColinEspMusic) reported

    @Tardgrde @ImCadeYT @Steam Be careful buddy. Seriously. I noticed with the controllers my reservation was due November 26' So guess what? I've already got it in my hands, a week ago i checked the controller page again to see if my reservation was still active and it literally told me i had 2 days left to buy the thing or i'll lose my (Nov 26') reservation. You'd think, They'd email people who got pushed ahead yeah? No..Not one pop up, not one email telling me the controller was available for purchase. If it wasn't for me wanting to check my status on the controllers store page i'd have lost my reservation and been screwed into 2027. I'm absolutely positive this is happening with the hardware too. I put in a purchase request the same day they announced the steam controllers on the store page (and influencers already had reviews up day 1) So, Not only did i have to spend money prior to when i wanted to? I'm sure there are people who live paycheque to paycheque that can't just spend $100 on a whim. They didn't even notify me with an email or in-steam UI pop ups which they should do for things like this. I really advise everyone checks their hardware orders daily on steam or at least emails about reservations, it's the only way to prevent reservations slipping through our hands because we take a break or are too busy IRL. I've been with valve since 2007 and even bought the V1 controller & Steam Link back in 2015. The quality of service has severely been hampered by Valve selling these things on their own storefront which didn't give me a heads up at all. Be careful!!!!

    ItsRizzleFizzle (@ItsRizzleFizzle) reported

    See the problem with posts like these it’s that they are disingenuous really. The ONLY reason these numbers are like this is because @Steam and @valvesoftware haven’t made the game verified for steam players. That’s the reason here.

    Steam Road to Vostok Observation The game freezes for 1/2 a second to a second [approximate] every time I encounter a bandit UPDATE: This problem only seems to occur when an external monitor is used @Steam @Steam_Support @roadtovostok

  • zeelee3D
    ZeeLee3D (@zeelee3D) reported

    @ManthosLappas This is why @valvesoftware and @Steam desperately need to revamp the review system. It's so broken, and the binary up or down leaves no room for truth. This reviewer is also weak, just don't leave a review if it's not your kind of game. "I hate seafood, and I really didn't like the lobster dish that I chose to order" is absolutely worthless to everyone. We need a neutral button for reviewers who think they're helping the devs with feedback (you should join their discord instead), and people like this that just want to hear themselves talk.

  • the_jonin_
    Sunkanmi Fafowora (@the_jonin_) reported

    That'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.
