    the fact that you can't unlink external services from your Steam account is quite shocking and has to be a direct violation of GDPR. @Steam , you should fix this asap. #Steam

  • ThomasH4944 Thomas Hutchinson (@ThomasH4944) reported

    @CarlosGameDev @Steam Is broken mask gonna be on steam deck?

  • srokaty M. Sroka (@srokaty) reported

    @OnDeck I got message I can purchase Steam Deck with deadline tomorrow but checkout not working! Support doesn’t answer… @Steam

  • Dackiechan Dack🇺🇦 (@Dackiechan) reported

    @Steam I'm having unknown issues and support doesn't have an option for "none of these apply" and you stopped taking calls and emails years ago, what am I supposed to do when having an issue that doesn't fit into one of the five categories listed on "why can't you sign in"?

  • neo_place Neo's Place (@neo_place) reported

    @Steam for the first time I'm trying to remove all my steam guards but they don't even have an option to do it in the new app! What is your problem steam your really pissing me off for no reason and creating worries about wether I can sign in or not. Bull.

  • _dearlyscourged METAL FINGERS (@_dearlyscourged) reported

    @Steam I emailed you guys yesterday and today about an issue that occurred where I had $100 on my steam wallet that was gifted to me and after that when I check my steam days later it was brought to 1.39 and this person managed to sell me something that I didn’t even confirm.

  • rusty0101 Rusty - "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" (@rusty0101) reported

    Off to see if I can play @NoMansSky yet on my Linux box via @Steam, or if the controller integration is still broken. If I'm not ack in the next hour you might see if I have some streams running...

  • Tyberious Jeff Clark (@Tyberious) reported

    @Steam Hardware survey is causing Steam to crash on latest update.

  • omasa82 omasa82 (@omasa82) reported

    Anyone else feeling discouraged to buy any @Ubisoft games on @Steam since they don't have end of life service for their games and they will lock you out of games you buy including DLCs ? 🧐🤔

  • Vannt41 Vannt 🎮 (@Vannt41) reported

    @Steam when are you gonna upgrade the Big picture mode? It has many problems but still being a nice idea

  • tinathetygress Tina the Tigress😍 (@tinathetygress) reported

    @yerffeh @Steam you can get your account back, my account was hacked and restricted weeks back, I got recommended to @coder_lex3 , she was able to fix my account. You should reach out to her

  • NMikoleski Nick Mikoleski (@NMikoleski) reported

    @Steam can someone help with the bioshock error it seems to be missing a launcher on the inaller

  • eazzitweet Love, Dababy (@eazzitweet) reported

    @yerffeh @Steam Contact @coder_lex3 for support she is a professional and a great lady. She will help you fix this problem

  • willwittthetwit William James Witt|North Miami Ped0phile Official (@willwittthetwit) reported

    @GaryTheGhoul @2K @Steam Get a PC my guy.. Problem solved. It pays to have both PC and consoles. Also, to answer your question.. Its because there is a much, much larger market on PC as opposed to consoles, companies can afford to lose profit and give some stuff away on PC, console market is smaller

  • reptil3b0i Brian (@reptil3b0i) reported

    @Steam People are going on about the servers but I had no problem yesterday with the servers so I'm confused. Maybe it's a normal outage thing in America

  • Revampedneonpt revamped neon plushtrap (@Revampedneonpt) reported

    why cant @Steam just add a list of commands for gmod. i know for a fact there is a command to reduce lag in gmod because i used it. i just cant remember what it was.

  • Dwaynejoe01 Dwaynejoseph.eth (@Dwaynejoe01) reported

    @yerffeh @Steam Sorry about that…. Try contacting @hackerdark01 on twitter he’ll help you I have same issue but got it fixed permanently by them

  • xMzPokerFacex Cee Cee (@xMzPokerFacex) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support No help from this company. I ordered Steam Deck on Aug 19th. They have never sent the deck to FedEx. Support always provides a generic answer and never resolves the issue. At this point, either overnight it or return 691.05. Disappointed

  • CorruptMoneyHFs CorruptMoney (@CorruptMoneyHFs) reported

    @Steam Steam you hands down have the worst customer service i have ever seen. Everything is automated bullshit. Get hacked they steal your money not a dam thing will be done. Nvr buying **** from u useless *****.

  • IriComrade The Antifascist Ant (@IriComrade) reported

    @keffals Honestly, if @Steam don't fix that tho I might just switch to using the MS store and EGS instead. 🤡

  • eerieCS eerie  (@eerieCS) reported

    @completelyfucc @Steam bro i dont even see the skins im sending i just get an error message xD

  • vnonarchy An_n (@vnonarchy) reported

    My steam is stuck on the login page. Tried -clearbeta -tcp or whatever they are and still nothing. Wtf @Steam ???

  • CromeXTW Alec (@CromeXTW) reported

    Hey @Steam, please can you update your steam login system. Just switching on the deck can boot my pc out of the steam login because there was a game prior running on the deck. This is quite irritating

  • DonBrrr 💰 (@DonBrrr) reported

    @Steam I’m having issues logging in, I can log in on the web browser but not the desktop app?

  • disappointment Log (@disappointment) reported

    @thepaulhoey @thestarboretum @Steam The amount of times I've had to leave the website and search for "website login"

  • Stripe_Fan #1 Patrick Collison Fan 🇺🇦🇺🇦 (@Stripe_Fan) reported

    @completelyfucc @Steam You do know it’s still in beta right? I’m not sure why you’re posting problems when there’s a group to discuss issues or improvements needed for the app.

  • AravindUzumaki1 Aravind Siddartha (@AravindUzumaki1) reported

    @2K @Steam Still not seeing it being displayed 'for free'. Any update issue or what?

  • signedxjourdan Jourdan Dozier Hill 💗💜💙 (@signedxjourdan) reported

    @Steam Would the servers being down cause login issues as well? I'm trying to either log in/recover my pw or make a new account but nothing happens and support hasn't responded to any emails.

  • completelyfucc ThëRëälNälö (@completelyfucc) reported

    @jAlexCSGO @Steam Honestly, maybe thats wrong, it could be that because I was using those accounts on my mobile before anyways. I still needed to login tho, maybe that threw me off

  • aldenter_ gabe :3 (@aldenter_) reported

    @JohnnyM30274409 @Steam it's about melee, hitbox was the first version of a fighting game like control pad for smash. it's stupid broken and only allowed at tournaments that they sponsor
