  • sudo_overflow Cyris (@sudo_overflow) reported

    I know we have enough subscription services but I wouldn't mind a GamePass like subscription service to @Steam. So many games I want to try but can't justify the individual prices that add up.

  • pierpytom Pierpaolo Tommasi (@pierpytom) reported

    Hi @Steam! I patiently waited for one year for the #SteamDeck, but I moved country in the meanwhile! I have one day left for the purchase and #Steam is having issues with the initializing / updating transaction. Support won't reply, where can I get some help?

  • L0rdMagnus L0rd Magnus & Pals (@L0rdMagnus) reported from Groesbeck, Ohio

    Shoutout to @Steam customer service for allowing me to get my @OnDeck when I missed my email. Y’all a real one.

  • PalZer0 Dean Rosolen (@PalZer0) reported

    @Steam Something has obviously broken here.

  • Christo37592815 Christopher Chown (@Christo37592815) reported

    @Steam Hello. I have a problem with purchasing my Steam Deck. I got the email telling me I could make my purchase after applying, but now it’s stuck on the Review + Purchase screen. I hit purchase but it’s just stuck on ‘Working’ and has been for some time. Thanks.

  • LoboStylez Lobo (@LoboStylez) reported

    @Shadowhaxor @iFixit @Steam I played Doom and Darksiders Genesis so far. The fan still pumps and does what it needs to do, but that whine I also had is gone. Fans look identical, but the newer one from iFixIt does have a higher revision number that fixed the whine problem I assume. Happy with the upgrade!

  • Fropsfn Frops (@Fropsfn) reported

    @Steam Steam ur platform sucks, Fix it.

  • stevenflowe1973 half-a-mil-zil (@stevenflowe1973) reported

    @Steam I bought a game that was “server down” for 88 min than had a try of it requested refund and got denied! On top of that the same game is free in 2 days!!! Like wtf steam????

  • TheSinisterChen Young jun (@TheSinisterChen) reported

  • b00sted90 JFitz (@b00sted90) reported

    @Steam Your capchas are Gar. Bage. 8-10 times now to setup an account for my fiance. Response invalid or it just wipes the check mark with no error. Then locks me out for "automated queries". Good lord.

  • blazethew4y BlazeTheWay (@blazethew4y) reported

    @dellor @Steam @BattleMetrics The problem is with how integrated rcon/battlemetrics how reliant server owners themselves are on it. You'd be surprised how much they need it. There's no real competition either.

  • JstJamieThings JustJamie? (@JstJamieThings) reported

    Anyone else having frame rate issues in @RocketLeague ? In both the @EpicGames version and @Steam version? Bakkes mod shows my frames jumping from 40fps to 140+fps randomly and it's causing weird stutters.

  • DebbieDspino40 Debbie (@DebbieDspino40) reported

    @Allison93368954 @mse8384 @Steam I can help you fix your account

  • EveryDayTechSJB Everydaytech.StanJB🤖 (@EveryDayTechSJB) reported

    @AdamJMatlock @Steam Steam+ would be an epic service!

  • kenpotter24 Ken Potter (@kenpotter24) reported

    @Steam Hello, a few days ago out of the blue, when I open Steam or my DCS it has started asking for my login when it hasn’t done that in the past. I forgot my password and I’ve reset it but it still says wrong password or account name. There is no option 2 recover my account name

  • Petersoneth23 Peterson (@Petersoneth23) reported

    @i6vnti @Steam That's quite unfortunate, had similar issues, spoke to the customer care but nothing happened until I was referred to @khalid_cybertech on Instagram who helped me out

  • ShackBraj Y2J (@ShackBraj) reported

    @Activision @Steam @CallofDuty Fix whatever you just did to black ops 3 on pc, it is unbearably bad. I think the recent steam update did something to the game. Please fix, thank you

  • mj4bj SonicGumball (@mj4bj) reported

    @Steam Hey steam, it really sucks that you said we can get a refund for the down payment we made for the steam deck. Highly unfortunate both times I requested a refund, even recently you emailed me that you will not give me a refund. How do you want to fix this, or will you?

  • 84_angry Angry 84 💾🔌 (@84_angry) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support Fix your damn client, The last update causes it freeze randomly plus what other bugs i'm ignoring. Or do you not care at all like most other companies these days and as long as you get money? Maybe time to start purchasing games elsewhere #fucksteam

  • b00sted90 JFitz (@b00sted90) reported

    @Steam Why is your account signup broken? Is Steam full?

  • ali_xD___ ali (@ali_xD___) reported

    @najambutt87 @Steam billion dollar industry and still can’t fix their servers xd

  • Immerciv1 Immerciv (@Immerciv1) reported

    @EAPlay @Respawn @Steam It's not that bad just fix EA Beta app or just take it down already

  • TheKrakenGains Shreddy (@TheKrakenGains) reported

    @KenniR @DyingLightGame @Steam Why tf would they make a DL3 when DL2 is already broken as **** ? There’s no point making another since nobody will buy it unless this one gets sorted out asap and they actually work on the future one as soon as it starts

  • Woodsmark7 Woods mark (@Woodsmark7) reported

    @RezineShowdown @Steam The support system sucks, they ain’t gonna any reply or give you feedback you should go meet #tech.hackpro on instagram he’s the only that can get this fix for you

  • jimmycarter7182 📀 📀 📀 you know what it is (@jimmycarter7182) reported

    $50 Game won’t start @Steam refuses to refund because I spent 3 hours trying to fix game Atleast I’ve been a steam user for over 13 years so they helped me out. JOKING ! They told me to screw off. G2A offers every game cheaper I only used this out of trying to support you. Bye

  • mse8384 Mark Heath (@mse8384) reported

    @Steam question. My account has been hacked. Email, password and account name all changed. My last transaction isn’t verifying. How do I get in or get help to get in? I can’t login to access making a ticket?

  • Woodsmark7 Woods mark (@Woodsmark7) reported

    @Ob_1_K @Steam The support system sucks, they ain’t gonna any reply or give you feedback you should go meet #tech.hackpro on instagram he’s the only that can get this fix for you

  • officialnucky Carl (@officialnucky) reported

    @Steam It's included in GP. Why would anyone pay for just EA play as a standalone service?
