  • PhotoHistPolit A Dude With An Opinion (@PhotoHistPolit) reported

    @Steam You wanna fix the issue with all the boys winning? Or is this just y'all trying to save money?

  • brazenoverture Klingons Are Bad ******* (@brazenoverture) reported

    @Stormy_Penguin @Steam It’s steam IDs. API is broken

  • ZachDavis095 Zach Davis (@ZachDavis095) reported

    @Steam FIX YOUR ****! I CANT PLAY ANYTHING!

  • appo_twit Appo ☆ (@appo_twit) reported

    @Steam Only bots winning your steam decks lmao, fix this ****, it's stupid that actual people aren't winning them

  • ElAcordeonachi El Acordeonachi (@ElAcordeonachi) reported

    Hey! #TheGameAwards and @Steam have gone back to player names. I wonder then if they weren't having technical problems what with all the minutes during the first half hour or so that didn't get announced. Maybe it wasn't Milf Hunter's fault.

  • Mr_FilFee Filip Carva (FilFee) (@Mr_FilFee) reported

    @Melly_the_Melon @Steam @thegameawards Not bots. They are people's Steam IDs and Steam is just broken. Just refresh the page to see real usernames.

  • Acvexe Kimataru (Vexe) (@Acvexe) reported

    @Steam BETTER FIX YOUR **** THESE BOTS ARE GETTING OUT OF HAND

  • itsfidy fidmas 🇩🇴 (@itsfidy) reported

    @Steam @valvesoftware @Steamdeck FIX YOUR ******* STEAM DECK GIVE AWAY ITS ONLY BOTS WINNING

  • BlueinRedout Bluein (@BlueinRedout) reported

    @Oppenhiney @Steam it just has to collapse enough to not lookup ~180k people's steamids, pick a winner, resolve the winner's name, and get it ready to be output on your screen within the ~2-3 seconds it does all this every minute. Delay the API call by ~1000ms, and you already have a problem.

  • OrsVTuber OrsVT (@OrsVTuber) reported

    @MoonmeadowV @Steam It's broken lol

  • burgess_bobby MPRTVG | Mastodon: @burgess_bobby@mastodon.radio (@burgess_bobby) reported

    @steam @thegameawards Why am I seeing a user ID number instead of an ID name tag in the winner's banner area? PLEASE FIX THIS NOW!

  • Javi_worldpeace Javi Carrillo (@Javi_worldpeace) reported

    @The1456 @MikeKohlGang @Steam Nah it was never broken.. they just gave some steam deck to their employees

  • kirbo_kirbstar kirbo_kirbstar🐀 (@kirbo_kirbstar) reported

    Either the announcement widget is broken or its actually bots winning (which would be weird bc you need to have spent $5 to actually register for the raffle). @Steam @OnDeck can you PLEASE update us on what's going on.

  • BuffHuskey NorthernBuffHuskey (@BuffHuskey) reported

    Every Steam Deck is going to a clearly faked account. @Steam should really fix this and get it to legit accounts #TheGameAwards

  • androcryst303 Ash (@androcryst303) reported

    @n9cks @Steam If it's lagging and people can't watch, then they aren't eligible to win, based on what the rules state.

  • KevinRuizSolter Kevin Ruiz Soltero (@KevinRuizSolter) reported

    @Steam Fix the bots ruining everything 🥺🥺😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞

  • Peannut_Bun Peannut (COMMS OPEN 0/5) (@Peannut_Bun) reported

    The steam streaming of #TheGameAwards is so ****** up lmao the bot that's supposed to choose the winners for the steam deck is just broken @Steam

  • FearfulShadow67 Brandon Bentley (@FearfulShadow67) reported

    @Steam PLEASE @Steam FIX THIS STUPID BOT PROBLEM

  • Thatonenigqa Meat Beat Master 2000💎💜🎄🎅🏿 (@Thatonenigqa) reported

    @thewingedbaron @Steam Refresh the page I just did it was a glitch

  • YariWasTaken Yadi (@YariWasTaken) reported

    @thegameawards @Steam I literally got banned because they thought I was a bot. It's broken. RIP

  • Peytstreams Peytstreams (@Peytstreams) reported

    @RafikovMuhammad @Steam From my understanding Steam is showing Steam ID’s instead of usernames. Could be a saftey precaution due to some “questionable” usernames, either that or it’s an error.

  • murderbits murderbits (@murderbits) reported

    Yet again, needed help with an issue on @Steam, so I contact support and in less than 24hrs, they kindly resolve my problem. In 18 years, I don't think I've ever had an unsatisfactory resolution to a support request. This time it was "Steve" on a ticket ending in '-XTN5'. 🏆

  • TheVideoJames James Baker (@TheVideoJames) reported

    @LordSizor @valvesoftware @Steam It's been showing that for the past 30 mins people aren't winning I doubt it's a glitch

  • Gargalesis_ Gargalesis (@Gargalesis_) reported

    @saint_million @Steam it turns out to just be a glitch with the UI, reloading a couple times shows the right username

  • Yourmomwasatrap Ed-MKII (@Yourmomwasatrap) reported

    @Steam bro fix the chat lol

  • ALincToThePast Linc (@ALincToThePast) reported

    @meeks403 @Steam In all honesty I just think that there was an error that didn't show their username and just showed the Player ID because there were Bot protections like "must have bought a game in the last year" and "had to have a verified account".

  • brazenoverture Klingons Are Bad ******* (@brazenoverture) reported

    @vitaminsmore @Steam It’s steam IDs. API is broken

  • TotesJakeMan TotesMarasaiMain (@TotesJakeMan) reported

    @KudaTheSkeleton @valvesoftware @Steam Yeah it's getting ******* ridiculous. I thought it was a glitch at first but now I'm seeing other people saying the same thing. God dammit man... I just want a deck
