    Damn, @Steam is again absolutely killing it on the customer support side. Day 4 or so of being locked out. Their system doesn't accept my info, I send them more, they demand even more, I send that, I get error messages and now I'm told I can verify my account with game keys.

    @KingRichard @Steam I don't think steam will ever do anything from a business perspective they just want to sell games. The issue is on the devs they need better anti cheat software and better ways to device ban people.

    for a company like @Steam under the leadership of Gaben, he has really made gaming fun. I've been playing Counter Strike and Half Life 1 ever since I was around 5 years old, and have been with Valve in general ever since. *I'm 26 now* Only critique of everyone there, is there needs to be more Pudding! Butt in all cerealsness (i'm coining that term, silence), i've had nothing but good things when dealing with Support for Steam when i have issues, *minus the part when i tried to refund Helldivers 2 after their whole requiring PSN to play, but that's not that cereal.*

    @Pirat_Nation They should make Microslop Garbage Simulator for @Steam. Everytime you launch the game – broken, you have to diagnose & fix it. They'd easily go viral for leaning into the joke

    @valvesoftware @Steam fix your ******* game. The votekick does not work in Deathmatch to remove the farming bots. WE had 7 Votes to kick, and it wasn't enough. You should be ashamed of yourselves. This game is garbage.

    @JacoBee___ @kitty_bit_games @Steam Actually I do not think this fits the “definition of coping,” since I do not care about the issue one way or another to begin with. I was merely making an observation about something I found to be legitimately funny. But I’ll go check my dictionary, just to be safe.

    @OverlordKego @Steam report what they CHOOSE to put as the ban reason, not whether or not you've actually broken any rule or guideline. hell, i've even been banned in the past for being RUDE to someone! rude...disrespectful... you name it, i've probably been banned for it at some point on steam.

    Hey @Steam it's going on day 3 or 4 of me being locked out of my own account and despite putting in a ticket, jumping through all of the hoops, verifying all the information and even changing other login info on places like paypal, you're still locking me out and not responding

    @Steam @Steam_Support is the statement in the news true? Because your side haven't even issued a press release regarding this IGRS issue. Thank you.

    @Steam get your purchase **** fixed, I've been trying to purchase vampires all day and all I've done was run into problems because of my address which everything is correct. Give me my money back I'm done. Every time I try and purchase this game you're chipping off my money, I want all of my money back I paid $17.88 for this game and I'm not getting that back. You can't charge me for a refund, or get sued it's your choice

  • _Geotherma
    Geo Gaming (@_Geotherma) reported

    @Steam One of the big problems is that devs are often pushed to get a high metacritic score or steam rating off the bat for bonuses etc. And if they don't it's seen as a complete failure by the execs and stockholders, which is stupid. In today's gaming world, a game can grow/degrade.

    I am tired of needing accounts for every game company. I bought Rayman for my kid on steam. I paid for the game. i own the game, I should be able to click play and play the damn game. Instead I'm staring at @Ubisoft 's broken login system. @Steam should ban devs who require this.

  • decimated_UO
    DECIMATED GAMING (@decimated_UO) reported

    Join the Open Alpha, and wish-list on @Steam! But fair warning: #Decimated isn’t here to play nice. It’s forged in fire to outlast every crash, every doubt, and every trend that fades. Expect full transparency, zero-filter honesty, and blunt calls straight to the point. Throw in sarcasm that bites, insults that land with a wink, and humor sharp enough to cut through the BS. We don’t do cuddles, safe spaces, or hand-holding. If you’re built for real talk and real games, welcome to the squad. The grind’s just getting started, so strap in. This one’s surviving everything. 🔥 @decimated_game #Solana $DIO #Web3Gaming
