    @handy_games @Steam Question: there is a possibility that they fix some errors that the battle of chasers: nightwar (android) has as an example: the slowdown when exploring, it also consumes a lot of battery in a few minutes and finally that the mobile screen becomes hot play it

  • Philip9804 PHILIP🇱🇷 (@Philip9804) reported

    @heyitsStylezZ @FuntCaseUK @Steam I had similar issues contacting support but nothing was done untill I was recommended to Hilton_hack02 on Instagram for help! he is highly recommended!

  • Tzymatilnga Amber Baldwin (@Tzymatilnga) reported

    @Fin95841663 @Steam Send a quick DM to @Acunetix_Tech ,they recovered my hacked account successfully when I had the same issue, they are legit and trustworthy

  • Qomatose Q-Ball (@Qomatose) reported

    @Steam after I botch a login, how long do I need to wait for it to clear? Its been about 16 hours...

  • emilywillisxexo Emily Willis (@emilywillisxexo) reported

    @northrix @Steam If you having trouble with your account I suggest you contact @utopiantechh, they are so professional they work with so much intelligence they render the best and most discreet and safe services, am sure they can help

  • Crocco_Knows The Wolven Crocco (@Crocco_Knows) reported

    So, to play Fallout 3 on the PC, I need to have Games For Windows Live, which no longer exists. There are mods to supposedly fix it, but those mods dont actually work. So, great, @Steam and @bethesda, I've got a game I 100% cant play.

  • KyoujinTheHyena Kyoujin きょうじん (@KyoujinTheHyena) reported

    Yeah, I'm never buying hardware from @Steam again. Been dealing with their customer service for over a week and a half and they're refusing to replace a faulty controller, but are willing to refund my entire Index. Having to file arbitration for this is ******* bullshit.

  • SirOgiee 27 (@SirOgiee) reported

    @TheCerealman8 @Steam I suggest you contact BESTTECH99 on IG he got my issues fixed.

  • P1stolas Jaycee (@P1stolas) reported

    @Dedingtonville @Steam I'd have to disagree, I've had a plethora of franchises/companies way bigger than Steam assist me almost everytime. The size isn't the issue, it's the quality of customer service and their will to help. They just don't care. Pretty sad to see from @Steam

  • CloakedJ24 Cloakedj24 (@CloakedJ24) reported

    @Steam fix your servers. you're turning into xbox live at this rate.

  • lextwinson KING 👑 (@lextwinson) reported

    @KayreeTV @Steam Hi donnashacks via Instagram can help you fix that

  • Andrea5742 Andrea Johnson 🌏 (@Andrea5742) reported

    @angelodeanalex1 @Steam I had similar hack/hacked issues not until Hackwizards02 on Instagram helped me recover my account

  • The_Augery Annmeda (@The_Augery) reported

    @RafaRuda @witchergame @Steam I'm also having this issue and have seen plenty of threads on steam about a bunch of people having the same issue.

  • GhostTownOli Oli De-Vine 👻 (@GhostTownOli) reported

    @joningold @Steam I think relying on the ad hoc approach we have right now isn't solving the problem, because developers aren't sure what requires a warning or how vague to be about it.

  • ExactlyAlice Alice.Exactly (@ExactlyAlice) reported

    @Steam Did you guys have to crash in the middle of my Civ game where I was FINALLY doing well. 😭😭😭😭😭

  • gkbalsam Grace Balsam (@gkbalsam) reported

    How does a company just NOT have customer service? My payments are going through on my card companies end but not @Steam . but there is literally no one to talk to???

  • ManlierDuck Duck Man (@ManlierDuck) reported

    @Steam FIX UR SERVERS

  • akaEwo Ewo (@akaEwo) reported

    @Steam Fix the servers!

  • Cowan_DeathPyre Cowan DeathPyre (@Cowan_DeathPyre) reported

    ,@Steam @Steam_Support Do you guys offer support by phone? Your website requires me to log into my account to make a support ticket. If my account was hacked, the email and password was changed and I can't login, how am I suppose to do that?

  • Tzymatilnga Amber Baldwin (@Tzymatilnga) reported

    @AndrewM97396227 @Steam Send a quick DM to @Acunetix_Tech ,they recovered my hacked account successfully when I had the same issue, they are legit and trustworthy

  • Spiked68994253 Spiked (@Spiked68994253) reported

    @jwatson2323 @NeighborGamesHQ @Steam Could you shut up and wait if they reveal the release date without the game being ready then it will cause delays and will ruin it because they have to force themselves to rush the game and make the game broken

  • dudebvster ً (@dudebvster) reported

    @2KSupport hi, I got WWE 2k19 via @Steam two days ago and have yet to be able to play it due to its struggling to load — I get a white screen for 5-15 secs and then an error w/ no code or message. Is this a common error? If so, is there a guide to fix it I can follow? Thank you!

  • LIESEF1 liese | CALLUM PODIUM (@LIESEF1) reported

    @RecklessDudeF1 @iliasget @Steam oversteer is a problem that i agree with

  • MexicoHater shouko652 (@MexicoHater) reported

    steam support is a ******* joke. i got scammed out of items due to their **** inventory system. i tell them that and they do **** all. @steam fix your ******* app

  • bradcperry Bradley Perry (@bradcperry) reported

    @humankindgame Question: Tired buying on Team for Apple today and keep getting an error for missing executable. Thoughts? @Steam

  • Aiden_Alias Aiden Fonseca (@Aiden_Alias) reported

    @Weaversteinn @NightAmorphous @Steam Can confirm. Not a good game my hero deserves better I say don’t buy it at least so they aren’t tempted to make another. Mha needs a good series of games like ultimate ninja storm or DBfz. Or even an open world game like naruto broken bonds

  • CpDances NickCPDances (@CpDances) reported

    @KayreeTV @Steam Hi, I recently found out about *PHOENIX_TECH11* on Instagram, he was been recommended for professional spy and hack service, so I decided to try using him and he recovery my email account, it's reasonable to use he for such service when needed.
