  • GhxstMVP RAK (@GhxstMVP) reported

    @Steam Whats wrong with paysafecard payment method, is not working for some reason and i cant wait till the sale ends....

  • MootLong SchlongKong (@MootLong) reported

    @Halo @Steam That Commando nerf makes no sense. It was already a difficult to use gun and now the sidekick beats it in TTK. It’s literally a bad idea to pick it up in MP now and you’ll lose fights if you can’t hit every shot. Put it back to where it was or at least fix the body damage.

  • davey5680 Liz davey (@davey5680) reported

    @PotSmokinJoe @Steam My account also got hacked and support service aren’t doing anything about it, so I contacted Fredrick_hackk on Instagram he successfully retrieved my account, he’s legit and reliable

  • RefugioFalzone David (@RefugioFalzone) reported

  • JohnF_PCGaming JohnFletcher PC Games (@JohnF_PCGaming) reported

    @sam910893 @Steam if it doesn't REQUIRE 16 GB.... ya... wouldn't that be kinda obvious? if you don't have enough ram it's gonna lag like hell if it even starts.

  • wojno Christopher Wojno (@wojno) reported

    It's almost 2022, why can't I paste my @Steam password into the OSX client to login? And why can't I file a bug report about this?

  • Achangclement Clement (@Achangclement) reported

    @Lag_sapo @Steam Had this same issue few ago. I contact the support center but there was no response after multiple recommendation to Sterhack on Instagram, he helped me Solved my issue. I'm sure he can fix yours too.

  • Solaris_N7 OceansOfStars (@Solaris_N7) reported

    @Steam You are WAY too ******* stringent on purchase limits. Trying to buy Black Friday games for friends and you are not allowing me to purchase without waiting some undefined time frame. SERIOUSLY WTF. You need to fix your policy.

  • AydenMartineau Ayden Martineau (@AydenMartineau) reported

    @youtubers_uplay @Steam Hey can you update the game where it doesn’t crash the game when you talk to someone

    @WebbyOyster731 @Steam I had similar issues contacting support but nothing changed until my cousin recommended @HnodaSa the dude is good

  • thebl4ckd0g Chris aka Blackdog (@thebl4ckd0g) reported

    Anybody know how to fix @Steam "Xbox Driver Installation" error "driver update failed, is Steam running as a normal user and is the Steam service running and up to date?" - I've tried removing the function, restarting STEAM, re-adding it; tried reinstalling the drivers manually.

  • Ed_Cianuro [:Cianuro:] (@Ed_Cianuro) reported

    @Qzyr0 @Steam Wow, what a problem.

  • AzerothGale Brulen Yunqueceniza (@AzerothGale) reported

    @Steam What happens to our owned games if EVER you shut down the service?

  • RyanCarter1987 Robert Ryan Carter (@RyanCarter1987) reported

    @Steam_Support @Steam Why can you not fix the client to be able to purchase DLC. The BS error that you already have one of these is not helpful and needs to be fixed. Now i have to wait an hour before i can even TRY to give you money. Fix your S. #fail

  • GoldenSlushe Slushe (@GoldenSlushe) reported

    @Halo @Steam Fix the Cores and XP

  • Beep77979702 Beep (@Beep77979702) reported

  • ShempTheNight ShempTheNight (@ShempTheNight) reported

    @Halo @Steam It's not worth it until they fix the ramp it crashing of reach. Seriously after the last major update reach on matchmaking has been crashing 75 to 95% of maps.@Halo

  • Corey117x Corey O'Donnell (@Corey117x) reported

    @omegachad69 @Halo @Steam Not quite the same thing in Halo. Though the game is going to lose a lot of people quick if they don't fix the "chore feeling" we are getting from this current progression system.

  • hijinkery_ caz 💥 (@hijinkery_) reported

    ye I'm upset because @Steam is doing that endless "extracting package" thing again and I've been trying to fix it all day lol

  • dohbee Rodney 💚🌹☯ (@dohbee) reported

    Lame. Played @Borderlands 3 half the day on @Steam Play, go to get dinner and drinks, and come back to a 1GB update, and some error for wine, so I can't play any more. :(

  • notT3MIE that guy (@notT3MIE) reported

    @Scumbag25 @Steam Same problem with paysafecard. Forced me to buy twice the product.

  • FromRagsToGP Broward Baby 🔥🐬🌮 (@FromRagsToGP) reported

  • 100pcpureRJ 100pcpureRJ🍑 (@100pcpureRJ) reported

    @Steam fix your payment system😢😢, thank you.

  • Joachim8675309 Joaquin Menchaca (@Joachim8675309) reported

    @Steam #Steam client application is so broken. The UI is completely unresponsove. Downloads just hangs forever and doesn't do anything. When the UI did work, the Downloads had problems, where it was difficult to control, no easy was to schedule hpdates, stop updates, etc

  • spudtayder Carbohydrate Powered Discourse (@spudtayder) reported

    @omegachad69 @Halo @Steam I've used controller on pc fps for years. I never run into a problem. Are there times I get steam rolled by a great team/player? Absolutely, but that happened on console too. I think when people talk about mkb vs controller there's only a difference at the extremes.

  • TheLeftFamily Patrick Yves (@TheLeftFamily) reported

    @Steam is a gaming platform that I've been on for years. They sell adult games and I have no issues with that. They are currently selling a hentai game promoting #**** and **** culture. I will link the game in the comments. DO NOT OPEN if your well-being cannot handle.

  • tuffnpuff1 tuffnpuff (@tuffnpuff1) reported
