    @0bscuratea @valvesoftware @Steam The problem is that for import purposes, this means a higher price than the DualSense, and it's not that competitive, even though it's pretty cool.

    @DaynglsGuides @valvesoftware @Steam I got this error and couldn't get it, and now its out of stock

    @Steam Dear Steam Support, I have been trying to resolve an issue with my account for over a month now. Despite contacting your online support multiple times, I keep receiving a message that my account is tied to a sanctioned country.

    @SleepingFumo @Steam Glad someone understands the pain. It's gotten way worse lately too; always had issues but would maybe get 2x the actual playtime logged, annoying, but not the end of the world, but now I'm two hours into Higurashi and somehow already have over 200 hours logged!!!

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Just fix your ******* code at least

  • CapnSlipp
    Cap'n Slipp (@CapnSlipp) reported

    Dear @Steam, the useful Verification Code From E-mail feature in iOS/iPadOS doesn't work with e-mails from Steam. I believe this is because iOS only looks at the notification, not the whole e-mail. Please move the code further up (text-wise) in your e-mails to fix this. #UXBug

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Payment processors have rate limits, chief. Too many people wanted controllers at once. Every platform exclusive has this problem, it's frustrating as heck.

    @valvesoftware @Steam will it be a revisioned model soon? usually the first batch has some problems

  • IRISHANARCHY199
    CelticTiger (@IRISHANARCHY199) reported

    @KlassischeMann @valvesoftware @Steam I think the main reason for the frustration is the storefront collapsing under the pressure within the first second of the item going up for purchase. I wouldn’t have gotten one myself if I hadn’t brute-forced the continue button on the purchase screen that kept giving errors.

    @Steam #Issue Please fix verification option for logins. It's not working for me. A code is not being sent to my email. Their should be a "Resend Code" option AND/or a second option to send a code to your phone or some **** like that bro...

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Fix your launcher, it sucks, or better, let us open the games directly from steam without having to see that mess you call launcher

    @valvesoftware @Steam Brazilian players want to buy Valve hardware officially, at a fair price, with proper support. We are not asking for magic. Just a legitimate way to buy the product without gambling with bureaucracy and warranty issues.

    @cooliocool7997 @valvesoftware @Steam Yeah it's really pricey for us. However I do prefer this at that pricepoint than my current xbox one controlller that got a tons of issues (one been they sometike forget they are linked to my pc, or refuse to close down while holding down the xbox logo buttons

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Remove the mandatory Ubisoft Connect login for games bought on Steam and things would already be so much better. Even better, just get rid of Ubisoft Connect entirely.

    @TeeJayTheory @valvesoftware @Steam I guess it depends on your grip. I don't see any issues with it at all, but I have large hands and have no issues with reaching anything in any controller I've ever used so far. I don't think I'd have issues here either.

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Hahahaha wtf are you on about, it doesn’t effect anyone. If you don’t have internet for 30 days that’s your issue not there’s hahaha

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Bro, is this a late April fool? You have perhaps one of the shittiest launchers ever made in pc history. Every ******* time I open Uplay I have to resyinc some **** or login again. Just do yourself a favour, close that Cloaca Maxima and bring your games on Steam already.

    @Steam are you using AI in your customer service now? Literally the worst experience I've ever had being locked out of my account! Definitely considering migrating off of this platform. About to tell everyone I know.

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Listen I had the same issue but if your gonna complain don’t use ai to ******* do it

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam I guess that's why i choose to play on xbox series x, i set mine as my home xbox and even if there is an internet outage i can still play my games offline

    @valvesoftware @Steam When will it be back in stock I tried like 20 times to purchase it and I kept getting an error. 😭

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam I fully intended to get GTA 6 ok PS but with this I’d rather wait until it come out on PC. Not even a PS issue but the inconvenience and mental load of having to open my PS If I’m playing on PC, it’s not much, just more effort than I’m willing to give.

    Is this a planned change with no announcement or a bug? Broken trade history suggests the other, @Steam support can't answer this question.

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam This wouldn't be a problem if your launcher actually worked 🙄
