Skywalker D. Luiee (@LuieeSkyWalker) reported@Steam @Steam_Support I’ve been trying to checkout the steam controller since it went live keep getting an error and now it’s sold out? I should’ve been able to purchase at 10am pct when I put it in my cart
-
******* (But it is gender) 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ ⚲✨️ (@nett00n) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam If YOUR launcher is a problem - just get rid of it
-
Vigilant loves you (@BrutusBruteCSGO) reported@valvesoftware @steam @CounterStrike please fix
-
MoonCast3r (@M00ncast3r) reported@Steam I have been trying to login to my account t through the app but it keeps saying my password or user is wrong when it's not I can change the password or the phone number due to the stupid authentication stuff and I can't receive the codes I've tried everything I wanna login
-
Maria 🧋 (@LosMariaLove) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck I had no issue. It likely crashed do to high traffic
-
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.
-
Evan Desjardins (@evandesjardins) reported@PlayStation support is pathetic and a scam. I can't wait for the @Steam Machine to come out, as I've had nothing but excellent customer service from @Steam_Support in the very few times I've needed it.
-
Spacefish (@Spacefish) reported@valvesoftware @Steam "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance." :(
-
Michael (@MikeTriceratops) reported@HyperLovingBun @valvesoftware @Steam The controller isn't effected by RAM price increases, so that shouldn't be an issue...
-
Josue Roberto (@rsencion) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Guys, seriously! what do you have against mexicans? Mexico is like right frikking there! right there, and still you wont ship to this frikking country. 😭 what is you problem? you ship to frikking Canada! for christ sakes 🙄
-
Avalice Productions (@DaveTheRetroGuy) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam This wouldn't be a problem if your launcher actually worked 🙄
-
⚡ Luis Montes - @monteslu@fosstodon.org (@monteslu) reported"There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance." yo, @Steam_Support @Steam Let me get a controller.
-
Vamp1r1sm games (@vamp1r1sm) reported@JoeReeves40 @lotfgame @Steam I only have issues with lords of the fallen. No other game.
-
The Goat (@_the__Goat_) reported@benheck @Steam You're not wrong. Yes, I'm fully aware of why Linux hasn't taken over. A major "problem" is bombarding potential users with too many choices (distro, partition scheme, filesystem, etc., etc., etc.) before they even get a login prompt.
-
Clemson Cuz (@ClemsonCuz) reported**** @Steam and their broken website.
-
Joseph Avery (@M00nlitCr0w) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Apparently it’s not what we thought. PS4 hackers were stealing games. This was a response to that. Buy a game for the duration of the return period it’s a temporary license. After that login and get a new one that’s traditional.
-
virhillyo (@virhillyo) reported@Steam @Steam_Support @OnDeck hey valve, I was wondering if someone can help me with an issue I have with my Steam Deck? My deck won’t go into sleep mode if I press the power button and I have to do it through the steam button which is a bit tedious. Would appreciate any help :)
-
GoodStuffPuff (@PowPowPony) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Just make it so your games can be played directly through steam and these problems would cease to exist for people, your launcher IS the problem
-
Lucoa's Husbano (@Lucoa_Star65) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Here's an easy solution: Delete your ****** DRM Launcher from existence. That will solve the problem.
-
Dunay (@dunay_sc) reported@jdezutter @valvesoftware @Steam they seem to still have *memory* issues
-
ty (@thetyl0413) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam 11 times out of 10 the problem is with Uplay tho
-
Stirling Forge (Unsupervised) (@StirlingForge) reported@valvesoftware @Steam transaction error at exactly 10:00am. the bots won
-
Mario Garcia (@drakaritto) reported@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.
-
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
-
яυѕтуρωη (@Rusty_PWN) reported@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
-
venuswa (@vv_venuswa) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam dude, most of the time steam is not the problem but yours.
-
PatriotCentral (@patriot_central) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck It is server overload, dummy. Nothing was broken. You are just retarded.
-
Freedom Enjoyer (@Skriptile1) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Why u blaming Steam? when 99% of the issues come from your stupid UPlay launcher and denuvo. the ******* nerve to tweet this...
-
AzureCrux (@AzureCrux) reported@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.
-
Cosmodiver (@Cosmodiver) reported@CharlieFlufboi @valvesoftware @Steam Yeah, looks like even people trying to buy it on Steam are running into errors and can’t purchase it lol
