Orange Cat Pinochet (@zaphraud) reportedI 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

Manthos Lappas | ASTHENIA-GAMESCOM (@ManthosLappas) reported@notskillo @stan_banatan @Steam Honestly, I don't have anything against such reviews, which I do get and always try to fix technical issues to the best of my understanding and abilities. I fully welcome those. Its the other kind of reviews I gotta realize that are part of the "game" and not worry much about.
-
xi lan (@Xao_lanVT) reported@ImCadeYT @Steam You got a better deal because the Steam Machine isn’t reliable and has a lot of problems. The Deck, on the other hand, is reliable and portable to boot.
-
Ranman (@SonofRanman) reported@Steam Will Microphone Audio get fixed in game clips any time soon? There's been reports of clipping and microphone issues since Game Reccording Launched, and I'm still struggling to not sound blown out even after hours of messing with settings.
-
Lord Tech (@mts_22natoo) reported@TheDailyGamer86 @PlayStation @Steam Hi there 👋🏾 What's seems to be the problem with your PlayStation account?

Whiteevo6 (@White_Evo6) reported@PlayStation Change the laws so we own digital games, movies and music we purchase If you want a digital future then we own what we buy and can trade it just like a disc and you’re forced to provide this service otherwise you, @XBOX and @Steam can all go to hell

-
Shrimp (@ShrimpInd) reportedRoll The Bones launch update: we have to delay the launch due to an unresolved issue on @Steam and the fact that @Steam_Support hasn't responded to us for 10 days. Not sure about the delay, I hope it's just an hour or two, but unfortunately @valvesoftware is unresponsive.
-
B_VDM (@its_mee_BJ) reported@BigAntStudios @Steam @Steam_Support Ok what kind a issue in have ? Just downloaded 37 gb with high speed network connectivity.

-
Kiika (@IIKiikaII) reported@Steam FIX YOUR SERVERS PLEASE I CANT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING. CANT PLAY ANYTHING ONLINE. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO OR FIX THE SERVERS

Dennis (@mrdenn1s0) reported@xeokeri @Steam Well the error says otherwise. Person A is on Computer A, trying to open a game on Account X. Person B is on Computer B, already playing a game on Account X. Steam doesn't allow multiple persons playing different games on Account X on different devices at the same time.
-
Abandoned Account 🏴 🇬🇧 (@Abandac123) reported@Dexerto While @Steam's refunding system is the gold standard for consumers, it's not without its issues. There should be additional rules on the length of gameplay. Like, if u reach 1/4 of the game or the 2 hour window. That's fair. @Steam_Support
-
Jamie (@Jximiee) reported@martis_off @Steam I’ve had this problem before, try signing out of all devices after resetting your password that did the trick for me. Once you’ve done that reverse all the trades and you should be sweet.
-
Pankaj Indoria (@PankajIndoria1) reported@SteamSupport I'm unable to sign in to my Steam acc. After trying several times, I now receive an "Exceeded" error and can't access my account in the Steam client or browser.This issue is affecting my work. Please look into this as soon as possible. #Steam #SteamSupport @Steam

John (@TheCassiniGames) reported@Steam Fix your servers bro 😭
-
Rogue Wolf (@Spi3000) reported@ImCadeYT @Steam Despite positivities from Steam Customer Service, Valve (from my experience) takes time for E-Mail or Support Ticket claims, usually a day's time. If you sent the E-Mail today, give it time. Until then grab every document you can, especially purchase information.

Sam Pritchard (@sdp2012uk) reportedHey @WARDOGS I have been given the test play version on @Steam but once it’s installed I’ve tried to launch the game and it shows a login error saying I’m not authorised to use it, how can I fix this please? #Help
-
👾アイリーン👾 (@Ladybug_bu) reported🫵😡 @grok @Steam @Steam_Support I made an account on EA App and another on Steam — everything went super smooth and easy. But on Steam I’ve got a problem: it won’t let me log into my account, saying I need to close my mom’s session, even though hers is already closed. I’m not sure if the issue is because I’m using my mom’s PC. When I try to log in on Steam from my phone, it says the password is invalid 😩🔒. I’ve already changed it three times through Steam Help Center and still nothing.

2MAD & Qira Lyn (@TheCyborganics) reported@Steam dude, your software needs an update my controller is moving my pc cursor since yesterday ms update, can you fix your end

PaLM AI - $PALM (@palmaierc) reportedMajor Announcement - Fall 2026 This fall, our local AI harness that rivals everything else currently on the market, root, is going to be shipped as a software product over to @Steam. 1) Publishing the application on Steam will remove the need for a separate signature on the executable. 2) Steam has become the go-to for gaming & creativity related software tools, which goes hand-in-hand with root. 3) Wide accessibility. You acquire it once, and it is yours forever. The Steam Version will not support any cryptocurrency features and all sales revenue will be registered to the Web2 side of our business. It will also be restricted and controlled according to the Terms of Service of Steam and other agreements that the company may become liable to, including a refund policy. We will keep the community updated on the status of the publication. Expect it to happen within a few months. Thank you for your support.
