    I use to grind trophies back in the day, I will agree with the sound as it hits different & they're at least set in stone. Steam overall is better EXCEPT when they get ruined by devs adding random achievements years later. Categories for DLC would be an easy fix, js @Steam.

    thanks @Steam for sending me the same paraphrased copy & paste that completely ignores my explanation AND questions for the 2nd time. i thought i would have a good experience with your support service cause of how people glaze it all the time but oh well 🫩

    @Lenovo if you don't hurry on the patch for your bios update, 100% of @Steam user can take you to small claims court if they allow data tracking for their Lenovo legion go's. And I never agreed to your terms of service on steam OS 3.8(non existent) That's $2230CAD MSRP... Idiots

    @Pirat_Nation good for them, still not removing it from my ignore list. which admittedly still doesn't mean much as @Steam's store page is still broken. fix your store damn it! @Steam_Support

    wtf is up with @Steam? I try to sign in, I enter the correct password, I enter the code they texted me, and it's acting like the account needs to be reset. Just log me ******** in, you ******* retards.

    @Steam I understand security but I will not digit code press your captchas. I guess I can't play War of Rights cause you are more intersted in farming my data than providing me a service?

    Loving my new Steam Controller, to be honest. A wireless controller that doesn't have lag on my computer is amazing. Maybe I just got bad ones before now? What were your wireless device headaches? @Steam #steamcontroller

    That's why @Steam still remains the best company out there, and it's not even close. Their customer service is literally unbeatable at this point. Still saw the recent news of the refund based on the fact that the gamer was cheated in a way after many hours of playthrough.

    Steam Road to Vostok Observation The game freezes for 1/2 a second to a second [approximate] every time I encounter a bandit UPDATE: This problem only seems to occur when an external monitor is used @Steam @Steam_Support @roadtovostok

    @Steam @Steam_Support Steam is inaccessible in the profile selection screen without a mouse. Can you guys fix this? I can use spacebar AND enter to select the options bar and even remove the account, but I can’t sign in. Actual L right here

    @Steam your support sucks. You won’t refund a game that has under 4 hours of play time. You see all the reviews. It’s broken.

    @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 👍

    @ArmaPlatform @Steam when will the problems with Arma Reforger that occurred after update 1.7 be fixed? We can no longer play on mod servers. You've ruined the game! The servers are crashing and giving us a ping of 999, and then the internet connection drops completely. What happened to the game?

  • 1mantisphoenix
    X|1MantisPhoenix (@1mantisphoenix) reported

    Sony should refund people that they take media away from, OR let them ultimately ∞ be able to access it like they paid for, when they bought it in the first place. Look at @Steam for good models of digital ownership. When a game leaves the store, it's no longer purchasable for new players. BUT< anyone that previously purchased that, can play it till they're sick of it. Blackouts will starve gamers, maybe even help them quit gaming... I doubt Sony is going to change their minds... but they can at least give 2TB/4TB nvme's for the prices they're going to expect in the future, and thanks to the size of games down the line too... There's too many sides to this to really bive one definitive solution or answer... but it should start with good online digital store etiquette to help counter the problem they're creating. Monopolies all suck. I hate publisher prices for my region on Steam, but Steam still lets me activate games that I get keys for outside of Steam. The grey market is my second home and steam is the platform to collect the achievements, the cards, the badges, etc. Thanks for that Gabe Newell

    @ItzPuddleJumper @Steam Steam deck uses steam os which uses arch Linux as a base,Arch is a cutting edge rolling operating system so updates can break it usually they put the fix for it on archs website.

    I installed it on a different phone, a spamsung with the latest android instead of the LG, and was able to log in using that and my email. Then fix it. Think that thru. App-based 2FA is worse than nothing. @steam

    Is anyone having issues loading into Apex on Steam? I can't get passed the initializing stage. @PlayApex @Steam

    @Steam and @FrameworkPuter 's 3rd parties being hacked days apart - exposing all my personal details is just great. Thank you both for your concern regarding the incident. I feel really valued as a customer. /s "Expect fake messages - email, SMS or phone - that mention your hardware order and appear to come from Steam, Valve or a delivery company. They may quote your address back to you to prove they're genuine. They may ask you to confirm a delivery, pay a small customs or redelivery fee, or sign in somewhere to “verify” your order. Treat all of them as fake."

    @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.

    @Steam Oh, oh, help me @Steam, help me! I woke up today to face the harsh reality that Chrome decided to delete all my browser's saved passwords and login info! And you know what's even better?! I recovered everything, except for my Steam password !!
