    I have gone many years (more than 3yrs) not going on my @Steam account and you know what? I never lost any game or service that I had paid for. They are still there! Eat that @Sony @PlayStation

    @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."

    @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.

    @PotatoCrispDip @Steam The problem is that you can return any game through steam within 2 weeks and played under 2 hours, and many devs who have made critically acclaimed but very short games have made this same complaint about people beating & returning the game. It's a a problem steam needs to fix

    @CombateMonero @Steam Actually, this isn't the first time they've let me down. I remember during one of the Next Fests, my game only appeared on the page 3 days after the festival started, because there was some kind of error in the system and the game was invisible to everyone.

    @Shinogi_Trench @BasedBickle @Steam Wow, the game has some glaring issues that it takes playtime to figure out? Because they didn’t adequately playtest it? And I don’t get to speak about it? You are a spiritual slave

    @Zoroarts @Steam Portal 1 is roughly a little over an hour long, yet has never had this issue. Limbo is only a few hours long, and also never had this issue. You can make short games that people won’t want to refund. If people are mass refunding your game, it’s because it isn’t worth the price.

    @Steam So you eliminate Nascar Heat and other Nascar base games to promote New Nascar 25 with subscription service , game doesnt allow older PC users to use keyboard, mouse !

    @Steam I can't connect to the voice room; nothing about your system is stable. Whenever there's an update, a host of problems follows—when will a solution be found for this?

    @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.

    @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!!!!

    Loving my new Steam Controller, to be honest. A wireless controller that doesn't have lag on my computer is amazing. Maybe I just got bad ones before now? What were your wireless device headaches? @Steam #steamcontroller

    The actual problem is I got a new phone # and steam will not let me log in with a password, an email, they are forcing me to give that phone # I can not play war of rights because I refuse to let steam farm me. **** off @Steam

  • DracaBro
    DracaBro ✝️☦️ (@DracaBro) reported

    @Zoroarts @nieyter19 @Steam Dude, they don't like when someone is greedy. Some of these folks were going to give your game a try and give an honest review, these are folks doing the only thing they can do, to make sure others realize you messed up and didn't make a good game, you made a meh game not a good game. NOW there is still a chance for the game to become GOOD, but after hearing about the $5 DLCs, I doubt that is possible. Now if you change the price of the DLCs possibly maybe people will change their minds. Anyways I'm done dealing with this terrible hot take you decided was a great idea, and has now brought down your dev carrier. When you get a good review, just be happy to have it; don't complain about it. "don't look a gift horse in the mouth" as they say. That review is now a negative review just so yea know, because you took this path. So, you now have to make up for what you've done, that means making the games better; I suggest taking pointers from other games similar to it. Anyways, I wasted too much time with this stupidity, I have a server to set up, and events to prepare for. Hopefully you fix this situation and accept that Steam has abuse policies in place, and if you want those policies to work in your favor, make better games.

    @Zoroarts @Steam Skill issue. Your game is the equivalent of a fat chick that puts out on the first date and is a lousy lay on top of that. If people aren't coming back for seconds, that's on you.

  • GingersnapsTM
    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.

  • Ladybug_bu
    👾アイリーン👾 (@Ladybug_bu) reported

    🫵😡 @grok @Steam @Steam_Support I made an account on EA App and another on Steam — everything went super smooth and easy. But on Steam I’ve got a problem: it won’t let me log into my account, saying I need to close my mom’s session, even though hers is already closed. I’m not sure if the issue is because I’m using my mom’s PC. When I try to log in on Steam from my phone, it says the password is invalid 😩🔒. I’ve already changed it three times through Steam Help Center and still nothing.

    @ZirraTGK That’s me in a nutshell. If not physically, I’ll be getting those games on @Steam. At least Steam has good customer service even though they also sell digital licenses (@GOGcom doesn’t really sell their games in my country sadly)

  • Indieanos
    Indieanos Gaming (@Indieanos) reported

    A serious issue especially for indie developers that @Steam needs to take seriously into consideration. If the player finishes the game, should he have the right to refund it? On the other hand, if this change is made and the game is short on purpose, the player is not protected.

    BYYONI (@BYYONI1) reported

    @CombateMonero @Steam And yeah, judging by the fact that I received a template response, @Steam_Support has started using bots and AI to reply to developers... I got the same template rejection that barely answers my questions or relates to my problem.
