    @Steam I was needing assistance with my steam deck, unsure how to fix an issue I am having with it.

    @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.

    I am not able to sign in to my steam account even after changing my password 3 times successfully. And there is no option to reach out to steam for issue on the website. It only leads to same landing page for changing the password. @Steam @Steam_Support

    @Zoroarts @Steam At this point, if you sell a game that is less than 2 hour... the gamer is not the problem here... We have more and more games on steam, i would rather have half and more consistent.

    @Zoroarts @Steam Idk man feels like you could just idk, make a slightly longer/more challenging game and your issue would be resolved.

    @gaersstapa @Zoroarts @Steam He can complain about the system being unfair for short games (it is) but the system is inherently better regardless due to the fact that anyone with tech problems or other limitations can always get their money back after buying a game on steam

  • nogal909
    Kamina (@nogal909) reported

    @TheWarTank_YT @Zoroarts @Steam Yeah, if they feel what they paid was too much and they're in time for a refund I'd have 0 problems, since I respect my consumers (I'm a dev btw and 0 problems with this).

  • Witchmaster
    Witchmaster (@Witchmaster) reported

    @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.

  • spoocle
    SpoocleMacBoogle (@spoocle) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam This is so stupid, I just can't. With one tweet, he decided to screw over both buyers and short-game developers at the same time. Your refund rate is tied exclusively to your game! I've been making short games for years, and all of my decent games have a refund rate of 5–7%. Games that are less interesting or worse have a much higher rate. It has nothing to do with length. This is not a widespread issue like you're trying to make it out to be — and you only have ONE such review, after all. Moreover, God forbid Steam listens to you or anyone like you in the future. That would immediately hit short games first. So you want a buyer to take a risk buying a short game from an unknown developer, and on top of that, also have to deal with some refund hassle? Well, congratulations — now they'll think twice before buying such a game. And this is despite the fact that, I repeat, this is not a widespread problem. But I'm sure you know that, and you stirred all this up just to boost your sales, just like other devs did before you. Buddy, you've already made enough money, okay? Why act like evil buyers are exploiting the Steam system and ruining a poor developer with hundreds of thousands of sales? You've made small games yourself before. What, not enough money? Why turn into an AAA company and attack people who have the right to refunds? What's wrong with you? @Zoroarts

    @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

  • TimmyTooStronk
    Alex J Rage-Bait (@TimmyTooStronk) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam It's a ****** thing for people to do and it's not really a good feeling to suggest you should pad the game, but you had to kind of see this coming just based on a Pareto distribution right? 20% of people are going to be 80% of your problem

  • Raimyah
    Raimyah (@Raimyah) reported

    Hey @Steam, I'm having trouble reporting a developer who slipped DLC for their pixelated game behind a $31/month pay wall on Patreon behind your back. Your help site is a little outdated and I've wanted a ticket on this topic for months.

  • PoshIndie
    Posh Indie (@PoshIndie) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam The problem here is "Your expected playtime" is not "Their expected playtime", and dishonest developers will pad those numbers just to erase the possibility of refunds on short games. The best solution is to just make the game longer, unfortunately. Everything else is abusable.

  • GnomeKr
    GnomeK (@GnomeKr) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam You made a 4 dollar rage bait game about paddling with your friend you can beat under 2 hours without even trying to. Of course people are gonna refund it, you're not gonna keep an empty burger wrap after eating the bruger. Problem is with the game, not the system.

  • Selatiorine
    ✧.*Selene.*✧ Genshin HSR WuWa Pilot (@Selatiorine) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Sounds like a you problem. If someone can finish the game within an hour. That is not a game and certainly not one worth paying for. That refund policy has been extremely helpful for times that games ended up being terrible or completely not worth the money.

  • TriniCreamHD

    hey @valvesoftware @Steam don't tell me to reset my password just for you to deny my login. fix this **** QUICKLY (e84/87)

  • oopsallsolace
    MR.SOLACE (@oopsallsolace) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam There's a community behind this, where people challenge themselves to beat a game under the refund time. Make your game longer and this will not be an issue.

  • Kellanisvcool
    Kellanisverycool (@Kellanisvcool) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam lol make a game longer than 2 hours dumbass. I can't believe that's an actual issue you're having.

  • WrenchOfChaos
    Xenos (Ambassador Of Indie Games) (@WrenchOfChaos) reported

    @PotatoCrispDip @Steam The problem is that you can return any game through steam within 2 weeks and played under 2 hours, and many devs who have made critically acclaimed but very short games have made this same complaint about people beating & returning the game. It's a a problem steam needs to fix

  • Metal_Dazzaw

    @2K @mafiagame Fix input glyph being blank on steam deck and steam machine? For this and mafia 1 definitive, please? @Steam

  • shadesofsilver
    Danny Silvers (@shadesofsilver) reported

    @SandorHQ @Zoroarts @Steam Not to say that the price isn't right here. It absolutely is. What we really have is a cultural problem, and that's not something Steam can fix. Steam can't force its audience to grow up.

    @Steam So you eliminate Nascar Heat and other Nascar base games to promote New Nascar 25 with subscription service , game doesnt allow older PC users to use keyboard, mouse !
