    @Steam When you going to fix the payment issues plaguing the system. Sale be over soon and haven't been able to purchase a thing.

  • thebl4ckd0g Chris aka Blackdog (@thebl4ckd0g) reported

    I ended up re-purchasing Mass Effect 3 as part of the entire collection on @Steam bc I could never get my copy on @EA's Origin to work. Worked like a charm on STEAM. Have had so many issues with Origin & my account(s) there over the years, it's nothing but a headache. :(

  • Eris_OEA 🏳️‍⚧️Eris_OEA🏳️‍⚧️ (@Eris_OEA) reported

    @ErinInTheMorn @Steam This is also a problem with @SimracingGP have had multiple friends that have tried to update their name on the platform and they have repeatedly refused to do so, even when provided with legal documentation to confirm the name change.

  • Raute000000 'blach' (@Raute000000) reported

    @Steam Android App paying with PayPal is not working. Login cancels itself.

    Anybody else having trouble signing into @Steam? @Steam_Support

  • evan_child2 Evan Child (@evan_child2) reported

    @Steam can you fix the error when factory resetting steam deck it says "fatal error, steam deck needs to be online to update"?

  • caulfeild_sky Mastodon Girl (@caulfeild_sky) reported

    @Eleanor_McD @ErinInTheMorn @Steam Did you change the account name or the profile name, I have changed my profile name a long time ago and it was pretty simple but the account name, IE the username I sign in with is still the same

  • himinbo71045611 海绵宝宝 (@himinbo71045611) reported

    @Steam @valvesoftware software. I hope that Valve can give me a fair review of this matter. I know This will trouble you, but I have always held a fair attitude towards this game. If you have time to trouble you, you can give me a fair review. Thank you A loyal player who loves steam and csgo, and

  • boat_busters BOAT_BUSTERS (@boat_busters) reported

    @Steam Hey, your steam support is *** btw, my account got hacked, and now I can't get it back, because your support suck ***, and you should fix it now, because it's a pain to go through. Now I lost my account because of you bastards. FIX NOW or I leave!

  • Mikesyde Mike Eitel (@Mikesyde) reported

    @Steam Something went wrong while attempting to sign you in. Error code 84?

  • honeqbiscuits 🐝 toby 🌻 (@honeqbiscuits) reported

    @ErinInTheMorn @Steam i have this problem with spotify 😭 i tried contacting support a couple years back and they didn’t do anything. the nickname feature doesn’t matter because you can still very clearly see the username. very frustrating

  • LudusAurea LudusAurea (@LudusAurea) reported

    @DershlandGaming @Steam Do it yourself. That's not a service enough people would be interested in and for those of us with thousands of games it's ridiculous to even think about.

  • MikeLeoo Mike Leo (@MikeLeoo) reported

    @Steam I have a completely ruined gift card and no one is responding to me I need this problem fixed asap your gift cards are unbelievably flimsy it was nearly impossible to peel the strip off

  • adpead Allan Pead 🇿🇦 (@adpead) reported

    @GarronStevenson @XboxGamePassPC @Steam Yeah same here. Sometimes you also spend more time fixing weird Microsoft store errors than playing the games. Steam works so seamlessly, can also back up games and move them around too.

  • Frank_028 Frank ~フランック~ (@Frank_028) reported

    @Steam Hello people and @steam I've been trying for a while to get my profile to work well and it doesn't work, as well as sometimes it takes a long time until I can enter Steam without errors. You say that my account has not been stolen and that the fault is from my PC --->

  • caulfeild_sky Mastodon Girl (@caulfeild_sky) reported

    @CharlieElm11 @ErinInTheMorn @Steam it's an issue with their databases, so they have pretty much retired the account name being visable, and instead use profile names. where profile names and account names differ is account names are the first key for your account in valves databases.

  • caulfeild_sky Mastodon Girl (@caulfeild_sky) reported

    @ErinInTheMorn @Steam they do, the issue comes in with SteamIDs, these are legacy and used for login. it is kinda an issue I guess since it would require a major rewrite of their authencation system, which might require steam to go down during the migration

  • FloraMerigold Flora 🍓🏳️‍⚧️ (@FloraMerigold) reported

    @ErinInTheMorn @Steam The replies suggest that you can contact Steam Support to request a change. I've had this same problem for years but just assumed I was stuck. Going to try contacting them!

  • Lucy97232511 Lucy (@Lucy97232511) reported

    @Steam IT'S WRONG THAT YOU THREATEN TO **** AND KILL ME! IT IS A FELONY! IT IS WRONG THAT YOU BAN ME FOR TELLING YOU TO PLEASE STOP! AFTER 16 YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS EVER, YOU DO THIS TO ME ON CHRISTMAS! I AM DONE WITH STEAM!

  • EmiliosEyes Emilio G (@EmiliosEyes) reported

    @GamerGrrl @Steam it's probably another reminder of how behind i am on my backlog! now we just need the meta-stats service to combine my Steam, Game Pass, and other stats.

  • TmEvol 216(MFZ69) (@TmEvol) reported

    @Steam the copy link button is not working .

  • cyberhack_1 CYBER HACK (@cyberhack_1) reported

    @BeamToaster @Steam I’ll suggest you reach out to Backup_security via Instagram he'll fix it immediately, I’m sure of him.

  • anna66newton 🏉Anna, jackal princess🏉 (@anna66newton) reported

    @ErinInTheMorn @annajayne @Steam They need to update their "I'm not a bot" system, too. Had terrible trouble with the 90s style click on pictures with fire hydrants/whatever capcha.

  • burnie_tweeds Burnie Tweeds (@burnie_tweeds) reported

    @FcpnchStds @Steam So meny trouble shooting i have tried and I just want to play a game that I just bought from you

  • k1llaki roy (@k1llaki) reported

    @Steam fix it

  • dokMixer dokMixer (@dokMixer) reported

    @JonVerrall @Steam Yeah. Same here with Europe. But it only is a problem on SOME games, not all of them. I assume some sellers setup a price different from region to region to optimize profit. For these, gifting is not working. Recommend choosing other games, or using a key reseller. 😔

  • SwiftyBoyo SwiftyBoi 🏳️‍🌈 (@SwiftyBoyo) reported

    @ErinInTheMorn @Steam not even just as a trans issue its just overall annoying as well

  • TheLuckyFox_CY TheLuckyFox (@TheLuckyFox_CY) reported

    @LudusAurea @Steam It isn't only me if you look up at forums, the steam discussions themselves a lot of people have same issue.

  • akacreepgamer20 wobblergobbler (@akacreepgamer20) reported

    @TheGaminNerdTV @Steam @Steam_Support Yeah ive been trying to buy a steam deck since yesterday and no matter what i try it just wont let me, ive also been having issues with the website saying connection error and **** like that
