    2 users both own 1 game and shared it with Steam Family Sharing. 1 user starts up the game. My kid's account cannot play it even though the other account isn't being used. Why is this still an issue 9 years later? @Steam

    @Steam @AMZNGameStudios Last month i purchased New World Deluxe and this month New World Azoth came out. The problem is steam interface wont let me buy the Azoth edition because i own the deluxe. Is It possible to buy the digital game off amazon and have the key manually added?

  • Fernandocr72195 Fernycr72195🇨🇺 (@Fernandocr72195) reported

    It is seriously the errors of call of duty. I do not recommend it, the game closes in the middle of the game and now it closes me 2 times in a row starting the game. They are sad.  @Steam @Ubisoft

  • RapaArturo Arturo Rapa (@RapaArturo) reported

    @ATVIAssist @Activision @Steam I've been playing your games for a long time. I paid full price for the game and want to play it. My PC is free of virus or other malware. I have never had any problems with such accusations and have been playing Activision and Blizzard games for a long time.

  • mariaPi09925601 Matt Ángel (@mariaPi09925601) reported

    @CrazyforKuwata @Steam a little, but I don't know much, the truth is that I don't speak English and well, the whole problem was written in English and I was lazy to translate it hehe. If you can give me a summary that would be great, thanks

  • LupoSolitarioIT RinascimentoIT (@LupoSolitarioIT) reported

    @monsterhunter @Steam Bring your game also on @NVIDIAGFN , please. GeForce NOW is an open platform for all publishers. Game publishers may add their games to the GeForce NOW service without any fees.

    @Bear65Bungle @Steam Contact steam support, I think this might actually be one of the submittable issues in the ticket submission process

  • InYxdha YxDha IN (@InYxdha) reported

  • Chewruns Eng Chu (@Chewruns) reported

    @Steam @OnDeck please fix steam deck shipping in Hong Kong! Very unacceptable shipping arrangement! There’s no updates for early preorders and there’s no updates on any orders. Why cant we see updates on shipping often and on time!!! Pls fix this!!!

  • soyzhira Zhira (@soyzhira) reported

    @Steam Hi someone has stolen my account, in order to get help in your “fantastic” support platform I need to login. How can i do that if i’ve been stolen :) ??

  • winterfan123 Shai (@winterfan123) reported

    @Steam steam. i have been losing my mind for the past 2 weeks. PLS HELP ME TO FIX IT. I CANT BUY MY FRIEND A CHRISTMAS GIFT PLS LADS

  • Wingzzzzy Wingzzzzy (@Wingzzzzy) reported

    @LittenFire_ @Steam The problem is not that many people kenw it came on steam as it was a epig game store exclusive. As Square Enix did not advertised it at all in the steam store.

  • Snowearthh Snowy (@Snowearthh) reported

    @thejordanroark @Steam COD didn't crash, they are doing weekly maintenance. It's every Tuesday at this time. lol.

  • Xero_Space 𝙓𝙚𝙧𝙤 Δ  (@Xero_Space) reported

    @Akumakuni @TheAzureRose1 @Steam I would have to argue that most of these bugs weren't common as I've followed this game for a while and from what I can find (wince you're legitimately terrible at backing up your own claims) the issues claimed to have been fixed I can't find anyone complaining about prior.

  • Williamcg_79 Williamcg79 (@Williamcg_79) reported

    @Erickson_srs @Steam I have never, and will never, see why people have such a problem with someone else being able to make as much money as they can in a short amount of time. It hurts nobody, except maybe the player themselves. It personally gave me a reason to explore, (1/2)

  • bortoletto79 Alberto Bortoletto (@bortoletto79) reported

    @CallistoTheGame Give me just one reason not to request a refund to @Steam 🙄. With the latest patch many PC users are still complaining issues, in some cases worse than before . I played for almost 2 hours, if I exceed this playing time I can't ask for more refund.

  • Cerin_Softpaw Nova Candy (@Cerin_Softpaw) reported

    @Steam hello, I have an issue with someone who is supposedly with steam

  • GameTakerGaming GameTaker (@GameTakerGaming) reported

    Please fix the DLC issue with the @Steam Version of #TalesOfVesperia @BandaiNamcoEU @TalesofSeries For some reason I could not load my save file without making adjustments to a steam file because the DLC is corrupt on the Steam Server.

  • SayinInstinct SayinInstinct (@SayinInstinct) reported

    @Steam I’m trying to login to my account and it keeps saying wrong password when it’s 100% correct! Even though I know it’s correct I changed it and it still says my password wrong when I just updated it!!!!!!!?

  • RocketSteve RocketSteve (@RocketSteve) reported

    @Steam have to admit your service is poor. Can't login despite resetting login, twice. U have QR code for app, but no way to scan the QR code with the app, unless it's magic. No way to contact you (unless I sign in). All I wanted to do is buy a gift. Thanks for ruining Xmas!

  • ment_al Al Mo (@ment_al) reported

    @Steam I keep trying to sign in but will not accept password. Will go through reset process then when I sign in will not accept newly made password. Help! I want a steam deck !
