  • ClarenceGoode5 :LogI.Q-Tech (@ClarenceGoode5) reported

    @Axolot, @ScrapMechanic @Steam (~1: Early-Access is TRASH. Steam, just allows anything, anyone to publish with no-checks and balances! Created a situation where CLOSURE for the consumer is a NULL-issue. There is ABSOLUTELY no incentive for a dev to finish a game in EA.)

  • Nicky_P_Smalley Nicky Smalley (@Nicky_P_Smalley) reported

    @Steam Disney DreamLight Valley was shown on steam yesterday as £80 for base game and ultimate DLC. Today you’ve reduced this to £57. But other consoles for £57 the base game is just included with the ultimate edition. Is this some kind of error?

  • SuspiciousPixel SuspiciousPixel (@SuspiciousPixel) reported

    @SteamStatus @Steam CONNECTION PROBLEM There was a problem communicating with Steam. Please try again later.

  • MirexKonex Mirex Konex (@MirexKonex) reported

    @Steam - there is also nothing about this problem on your "support site"!

  • ryan00964325 ryan (@ryan00964325) reported

    @Steam can you please sort out the login or account or sign I have been having issues trying to get into my account and making a new one and nothing is working I am not happy at all

  • HeyItsUniette HeyItsUniette (@HeyItsUniette) reported

    Btw Steam Deck sucks ***. I spent $600 on this ****, and I can’t even get past the Wi-Fi screen without it hanging. @Steam fix your **** or I’m deadass just deleting my Steam account.

  • m4ddo_ maddo (@m4ddo_) reported

    @Steam man i cant play can you fix the app + website plz

  • Megaira12 Dr. sc. Harlatan (@Megaira12) reported

    Honestly, I'm at my wits' end. I changed my @steam client language settings. Afterwards my installed games couldn't be retrieved. I found a fix for it. I tried to run #horizonzerodawn, but the launcher said I had insufficient graphic memory, <3 gb, with an 8 gb graphic card.

  • LordPalpatine13 The Senate (@LordPalpatine13) reported

    @Steam what's with your customer service? My deck was lost in transit and I am receiving literally no assistance from you guys, my username is TotallyNotASith, can yall get someone to reply and assist me, preference is a phone call as mentioned in my "chat"

  • Drabbyy Drabby (@Drabbyy) reported

    My favorite thing about @Steam is that, while my steam account is stuck on a black screen for weeks with no end in site, they’ve been incredibly complimentary on my troubleshooting skills. Now, we need to fix the problem!

  • sarim_mehdi Muhammad Sarim Mehdi (@sarim_mehdi) reported

    @SteamStatus @Steam Still not working in Italy

  • PrincessFelinia Princess Felinia (@PrincessFelinia) reported

    Do any of my more tech-savvy friends know how to setup steam so that my wife can play my games without being disconnected from them all the time? I thought I had it all set up, but this morning she can't get on again! @Steam how do I fix this?

  • Simsie_rosebud Ashley Boehret (@Simsie_rosebud) reported

    @Steam I have been trying to make a steam account for 2 days! I keep getting a recaptcha error. I was going to buy an early release from you but I guess I’ll go to Epic Games instead. There’s no where to each out on your website. So frustrating.

  • Quest_Titann Quest_Titann (@Quest_Titann) reported

    Anyone elses @Steam just crash? my roommate #2 is fine, but us other 2 cant get connected and even more of our friends are having similar results.

    Hey @DOTA2 You know the in game subscription service that a lot of your players pay for is down right? and has been since the new patch, it's all over the @Steam Community Discussion boards too. Got an update for the people that are paying for it? Maybe @valvesoftware, someone?
