  • TurdBoomerang Boom ****-erang (@TurdBoomerang) reported

    "It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours. Please wait a while before trying again." Has anyone seen this @Steam error before? I bought the same game 6 times in a row, and want to buy ONE more copy so everyone in my group chat can play.

  • Partiallyround1 Partiallyroundmeat (@Partiallyround1) reported

    @Steam_Support @Steam Why is it so difficult to talk to a real person? I'm having problems that can't be self solved and I can't find anything directing me to speak to a real person. Very frustrating.

  • Franjvy Fran (@Franjvy) reported

    @DannehTV @playnewworld @Steam Problem will be long queues in most populated servers if they open!

  • max1daniel3 max1daniel3 (@max1daniel3) reported

    @Steam fix your stuff i've downloading a 15gb game for 2 hours now as it keeps going to 0bps xoxo

  • lireaxT lireax (@lireaxT) reported

    @JoPortgas @Steam Hey, how did you fix it? I have the same problem...

  • TheGarruk Garruk (@TheGarruk) reported

    @playnewworld @Steam I feel like In order to get most people back that left, you’d have to fix all the game breaking bugs and gold dupes, add new content so it doesn’t feel like you’re seeing the same 5 mobs and then relaunch the game with all servers being wiped so that it’s equal for everyone again

  • CatherineNikita Catherine (@CatherineNikita) reported

    Has anyone got an "unable to sync" issue with Duel Links on Steam? Currently cant get on it and my internet is fine and everything Help 👋🏼👋🏼 @Steam

  • saintcarlos saintcvrlos (@saintcarlos) reported

    @playnewworld @Steam What? why? when various people have reported issues with the main story quests. have you guys even checked to see if its affecting new players too? this wouldn't be a good idea unless you guys plan to fix it before Friday...

  • zhangsh14891596 张书宇 (@zhangsh14891596) reported

    @Steam please fix the download server!!!

  • jools_greene Jools Greene (@jools_greene) reported

    @Steam yo fix your app in ireland my bro cant access any of my games and 90% of my games run off steam smh

  • lipefabric Felipe Fabricio (@lipefabric) reported

    @BattleBitGame @Steam Please remove the need to use a mobile number to be able to send messages on the discord server, the SMS service doesn't work for me and that's why I lost access to the server. If they could exchange it for Whatsapp I think the code would arrive on my cell phone normally.

  • MelonyThelma Melony Thelma (@MelonyThelma) reported

    @xpeachflavor_TV @Steam The problem with all this customer support is their no response or automated replies that does not solve anything. When I had similar difficulties with my account I had to reach out to Metahacksupport on lnstgram for help. Good thing is they did help fix my acct.

  • thatniendisgirl That Niendis Girl (@thatniendisgirl) reported

    @Teenygiant @Steam I thought I was the only one with this issue... Haven't been able to buy games in over 6 months

  • NerdyLadd Tony Duncan (@NerdyLadd) reported

    Hey. Hey @Steam. What is the point of pre-ordering on your stupid service if games can't be pre-installed and you don't actually "release" them at midnight? #LegoStarWarsTheSkywalkerSaga

  • Lord_DarkClaw Greg Light (@Lord_DarkClaw) reported

    @Steam I can't find any other frakn way to contact steam than here!! My friend's list is full, I've deleted all I can!! now I want to be able to add more friends not that it should have ever been an issue in the first place!!

  • DanielBeharryII Tarnished Vengeance 🦇🇹🇹Ω (@DanielBeharryII) reported

    @MajestikLark @spence_rstevens @Steam I think I saw that PC version is having trouble running so may be best option atm

  • _NC_Vet_ Brandon The Veteran (@_NC_Vet_) reported

    @WanderinMisfit @playnewworld @Steam And that right there is the issue. Gamers have gotten lax in our acceptable standards for games. Publishers know this and take advantage. It’s a dead game and those that refuse or just have no standard keep it on life support.

  • redtrashpandaVT RedTrashPanda 🇦🇺 ☕ VTUBER (@redtrashpandaVT) reported

    @playnewworld @Steam Customer support that HELPs players with issues and doesn't just leave thousands of players with unworthy bans in a sea of auto-replies would bring players with thousands of hours back to the game. Why come back if AGS doesn't care about their hard work? Why reinvest?

  • DadiChalia Dadi Chalia (@DadiChalia) reported

    @SimbaEOD @playnewworld @Steam I had similar issue but thanks to banned_solution on Instagram he helped me fix it and I never got banned again

  • _NC_Vet_ Brandon The Veteran (@_NC_Vet_) reported

    @playnewworld @Steam Lol. Even after a content release you need to do this to try to up the numbers. Should have listened to the players and delayed the release. Was not ready and still isn’t. Need to do a FFXIV and take down the servers and fix your issues and add actual content.

  • hex_andrew Cataclysm void Hex (@hex_andrew) reported

    @Steam LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE HAS BUGS TO FIX!

  • lurch_lurchi Lurchi Lurch (@lurch_lurchi) reported

    @playnewworld @Steam Wow this is the most desperate attempt to manipulate people to play your broken game. I will not buy anything ags touches in the future

  • 1CantP1ckAName a wanderer, wondering (@1CantP1ckAName) reported

    okay but is Skywalker Saga not working for anyone else on @Steam @LSWGame

  • Partiallyround1 Partiallyroundmeat (@Partiallyround1) reported

    @Steam Why is it so difficult to talk to a real person? I'm having problems that can't be self solved and I can't find anything directing me to speak to a real person. Very frustrating.

  • JustAChair__ Greysen (@JustAChair__) reported

    @Steam ARE YOUR SERVERS DOWN AGAIN MY FRIEND AND I JUST WANTED TO 1V1 WTF

  • KayRoyal007 Krown (@KayRoyal007) reported

    @hiddenmusings_ @playnewworld @Steam They’ve made some positive changes to the 1-60 questing experience but definitely still needs some work. I hope they focus more questing in the future. In my opinion, it’s one of the biggest issues. I leveled to 60 multiple times in WoW, New World was more tedious.
