    @UnfoldedAxe @UbisoftSupport @Steam nope has never worked to fix any UBI game ever, problem always with their launcher

  • HiddenTenno

    @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

    @DalaranCrater @Steam It was a nightmare, but it got solved. If I used desktop browser it would ask for my steam guard to login, totally fine, then I would scan and it would be like: Now use the app to Confirm…. No notifications, nothing in confirmation. So then I made my way after 20 attempts to a mobile version which allowed me to get to the next screen which required my mobile app, which when it went to the page would just load the page in the app the ask me while in the app to swap screens to verify the number, resulting in a loop restarting the process.

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam The only problem is your trash launcher.

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Lmao.. It had that error due to server overload.. FROM DEMAND.. You should've clicked more bud.

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam It's your game, not their, and it's your launcher causing the problem. Nobody likes you and the reason is this kind of bullshit on top of your dogshit code

    @Pirat_Nation Don't care. Microslop had years➕ to fix @Windows & are only doing it now bc losing ppl to Linux & @Steam. These companies will never learn – I hope gamers finally do. Money is voting power & I haven't spent any since "Xbox One (won)".

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Most digital storefronts,including Steam, require a login to verify game licenses; it varies how often. That timer on newly purchased PSN games is to fix a loophole where customers were receiving refunds, but still had access. It'll go away once the 30-day refund window closes.

    @valvesoftware @Steam Tried to buy, checkout was broken, now sold out 😭

  • nomeIlamesfriki

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam You don't own any game bought digitally in Sony or Steam. You only own the license to play it thrugh Sony/Steam. They can close the service when they want. It is all in the TOS.

    @valvesoftware @Steam Your payment processing is tossing our errors.

    @lichqueenie @UbisoftSupport @Steam I tried to play Far Cry 3 but it kept crashing constantly. Ubisoft launcher was the issue and best way to fix it was pirating it because it avoids ubi launcher lol

    @choehau_ara @Steam @Steam_Support So then they should fix it.... As their consoles run Linux afterall

    @valvesoftware @Steam Fix your storefront so people can actually make transactions or stock enough so people can purchase them.

  • BWarrior76
    Warrior_Nation (@BWarrior76) reported

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam This thing is blown way out of proportion. I do not see a problem with it, nor a reason for it. No internet for 30 days, your game is disabled until you re-connect? Ok lol

  • Barelygaming0
    RarelyBarelyGaming (@Barelygaming0) reported

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck That is a broken system. Valve knows the base, how you not ganna make enough.... Wut.

    @valvesoftware @Steam I'll just be happy if it doesn't crash or freeze when I try to make my reservation

  • silbirobi
    $!|b!r0b! (@silbirobi) reported

    @RealMarcFoxx Okay👍 But I have to criticize @Steam @Steam_Support I have to perform a login to play offline. That's just wrong and have to change.

  • Tristan_fergus
    CaptainSp33dy (@Tristan_fergus) reported

    @KlassischeMann @valvesoftware @Steam you need to check, before making outrageous comments. the issue in hand is scalpers buying them. So, if users are getting upset mentioning about scalpers, then the "morons" remarks is baseless.

    @TankeryChan @valvesoftware @Steam Through the government postal service maybe. Never had a DHL or other private shipping company lose a single item, and I receive a LOT because of my job.

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Nah you are just broken lil bro

  • EldritchBoggart

    @valvesoftware @Steam Fix your payment system. Broken system so everyone missed out on the pathetically low quantity of controllers you provided for purchase.

  • KlassischeMann
    Klassischer Mann (@KlassischeMann) reported

    @MatthewJPipoly @valvesoftware @Steam It wasn't sold out with that error. The servers were slammed. If you were smart, you would have kept hitting refresh until you got in.

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Steam isn't the problem lmao.

  • Disco_Drew523
    iDrinkBourbon (@Disco_Drew523) reported

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck That happened to me too. You have spam that check out button eventually it loaded correctly and went to next step. At the end of the day it was broken. Also I noticed controller went live 3 min before 1PM EST. Maybe that’s what broke it

    @TankeryChan @valvesoftware @Steam Amazon has no trouble shipping **** right to my door

    @Steam I am unable to request a refund at the moment. I get a red error and when I hit try again I get the message error code: -379.

    @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
