Cørey (@coreyVMG) reportedFix your **** @Steam

Rickey Pendarvis (@rickeyp2121) reported@EatPantGames It unfortunate that @PlayStation idiocy is causing problems like this for small indie teams and games. Obviously not everyone can do physical release. @Steam has proven they are trustworthy with digital for decades. Hope people support you over there. I will 👍

BritishDissonance (@Britdissonance) reported@jcrain1991 @Zoroarts @Steam The irony in calling me a simpleton when you're clearly a complete retard, good lord. Now you're making the argument that steam policy should change on one review? My whole point is either most people are refunding after beating it in under 2 hours, in which case its not worth the money, or they are refunding it for other reasons which is a non issue. Either way this dev is complaining about nothing.

ARKS Angel (@arks_angel) reported@Steam is everything okay? First I was having issues downloading from the Chicago CDN, and now getting a bad gateway error when viewing my wishlist?
-
M.Safwan (@MSafwan14479038) reported@Steam_Support I have lost my login ID. The @Steam ID is not connected to anyone, i.e. my phone. I remember my gmail but I still can't access the software. I can't play games. Please help me @Steam_Support
-
Azzys Design Works (@AzzyDesignWorks) reported@ntbrown01 @Steam I have a 2nd gen MS Surface that I want to turn into a portable steam machine. Problem is going to be cracking it open to replace the battery.
-
Cezary Kruszewski (@CezaryKruszews1) reported@KagutsuchiHeika @Pirat_Nation Actually issue is with @Steam as it was clearly stated by them that accounts cannot be passed on.
-
MultiEnding Heroes OUT NOW! 🇦🇷 (@NicoDiti) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Add a 3 hours ending cutscene like Kojima and no more problems.
-
Witchmaster (@Witchmaster) reported@SurvivalGN @ConanExiles For me, the move to UE5 sounded like a bad move. While I do use @Steam to play this, I'm also on Linux which has had a history of issues running Unreal 5 content. I decided to try it out and it just would not run. I restored to the UE4 version frustrated.

Priya Sharma (@priyasharmiyi) reported@monteslu @Steam_Support @Steam controller issues are rough
-
cracinlac (@burnme121107) reported@Chriss_m @Zoroarts @Steam do you watch a movie and then demand your money back because it was only an hour and a half long? and clearly the quality of the game isnt a problem because people are literally saying they enjoyed it but still refunding it. its bad for the developer who is a person with needs
-
Matt☆Kenzaro (@Kenzaro_) reported@Zoroarts @Steam If your game can be finished in less than 2 hours for someone that never played it previously, that's on you. Refunds are made to be able to return the product if there's an issue or if not following expectation. 2 hours of gameplay is too short for some people
-
Drew Peacock (@En_Senada69) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Add 20 more minutes of content. Problem solved.
-
Odoq (@TAW_Odoq) reported@Zoroarts @Steam seems like a sinple fix... have a steam achievement when you beat the game. If you get the achievement you can't refund the game...
-
Thiz (17-3 2x SUPERBOWL CHAMPS) (@Thizlam87) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I think the fix to this is to not make a game that is under 2 hours long. Steam shouldn’t change the 2 hour limit for refunds, I personally think it should be 3 hours.
-
L9FRIENDLYSTYLE (@L9FRIENDLYSTYLE) reported@LiquidEffer @Zoroarts @Steam He has the solution at his fingertips yet you and others are here encouraging him to sit on his *** and do nothing about it and wait for the force he has no control over to fix his problem
-
Aaron Li (@polymorpher) reported@Steam Minor issue: audio is choppy with Studio Display via HDMI - USB-C cable, hopefully it will be fixed with software updates / DP cable
-
Daz🤘 (@Metal_Dazzaw) reported@2K @mafiagame Fix input glyph being blank on steam deck and steam machine? For this and mafia 1 definitive, please? @Steam
-
Atomic Brick Studio (@Bitbybrix) reportedHello @Steam, I bought Sunset Overdrive and Undertale today, but an error occured through my purchase when I bought it. The money was deducted from my card but the Steam app said that the purchase failed due to an incorrect address. I had to redo my purchase for it to work.
-
General K (@GKTABM) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Make your game longer than 2 hours worth of content, that is the industry standard. Add more levels. Add more modes. Add more replay-ability. Add more fun modifiers. This is literally a your game is lacking problem.
-
Dee Man Blanco (@TriniCreamHD) reportedhey @valvesoftware @Steam don't tell me to reset my password just for you to deny my login. fix this **** QUICKLY (e84/87)
-
わためろん (@watamelon23) reported@Maxim_Drw @Zoroarts @Steam The problem is that a lot of the time the ways devs add extra playtime to get over 2 hours is just by adding pointless padding. I'd rather just have the great 60 or 90 minute game instead of one that is made worse by padding. Thank you friend.
-
Yuushia (@vongacayan) reported@Steam STOP BEING *** AND LET ME LOGIN TO MY ACCOUNT WITH THE PC I'VE BEEN USING FOR A YEAR NOW THIS STEAM GUARD THING IS MORE LIKE A STEAM JAIL
-
Joseph (@Josephshandle) reported@Steam I was needing assistance with my steam deck, unsure how to fix an issue I am having with it.
-
𝕮𝖗𝖎𝖘𝖒𝖚 (@crismu17) reported@ArmaPlatform @Steam Game still broken on Xbox 😭
-
Robert Stephenson (@CrakaLakaGetSum) reportedHey @Steam fix your stuff! I have funds in my wallet but can’t utilize them? Why? I’ve done all the steps listed but still won’t work. @Steam_Support
-
Alex J Rage-Bait (@TimmyTooStronk) reported@Zoroarts @Steam It's a ****** thing for people to do and it's not really a good feeling to suggest you should pad the game, but you had to kind of see this coming just based on a Pareto distribution right? 20% of people are going to be 80% of your problem
-
Xenos (Ambassador Of Indie Games) (@WrenchOfChaos) reported@PotatoCrispDip @Steam The problem is that you can return any game through steam within 2 weeks and played under 2 hours, and many devs who have made critically acclaimed but very short games have made this same complaint about people beating & returning the game. It's a a problem steam needs to fix
-
Allan Smithee (@SmitheeAll88909) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Honestly such an edge case Steam has no incentive to do anything about it. I agree those who do this are scummy, but the only realistic fix is making your game longer.
-
Yawen (@YawenCh69) reported@Vetrix22 @Zoroarts @Steam $1 for an hour of fun? Yeah- that’s a good deal. No one said games like that are at risk here. I haven’t done that to an indie developer- that’s cruel. Games like MiSide are fun. Worth the money. Not gonna refund. (Although it was beaten in like an hour) Games that charge AAA title prices that end in under an hour or two is unacceptable- I will refund. I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again with a cute smile. Money isn’t the problem- the principal of the situation is.
