Steam Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Apocalypse (@SE_Apocalypse) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Have you ever thought to find other devs with similar nice and short games and release them as compilation instead? You avoid that 2 hours issue that way. 21% refund rate ... still sounds like most people who enjoy the game do want to give you money for it. 11% goes to charity.
-
Pryn Nea (@prynneahroth) reported@KazuoSergal @Zoroarts @Steam retard. this isnt a fix. imagine a cashier hands you a cookie and its delicious and you go "im not paying because it was too small'
-
Zynner (@zynnachin) reported@Shinogi_Trench @BasedBickle @Steam Wow, the game has some glaring issues that it takes playtime to figure out? Because they didn’t adequately playtest it? And I don’t get to speak about it? You are a spiritual slave
-
AllahingMutant (@AllahingMutant) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Skill issue. Your game is the equivalent of a fat chick that puts out on the first date and is a lousy lay on top of that. If people aren't coming back for seconds, that's on you.
-
Daz🤘 (@Metal_Dazzaw) reported@2K @mafiagame Fix input glyph being blank on steam deck and steam machine? For this and mafia 1 definitive, please? @Steam
-
Chud McCloud ✝️🇺🇲 (@MaroonKennedy) reported@eramaster12 @Steam @PlayStation Playstation says they want to double down on live service games even after the failures of Concord and Marathon
-
DougieDispenser@aspirin.jp (@Shinogi_Trench) reported@zynnachin @BasedBickle @Steam “glaring issues that it takes playtime to figure out” speak for yourself. Who ******** is “they” lmao. You don’t get to speak about it because your opinion is worthless. You also type like a retarded fat chick. Three questions in your reply because you’re unsure about everything

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
-
Dingo Love Simulator (@dingoman5001) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I'm sorry but that is your problem for making a game with barely a triple-digit minute runtime
-
RedBeardedJoe (@RedBeardedJoe) reported@Mikeparkerz @Zoroarts @Steam The issue is thought if you drag it out for too long and people notice no thought into it or its the same as before people go im done anyways you didnt add anything of Value to it too extend it so we should have a Smallish game Refund system and the 2 hour limit one
-
Rickey Pendarvis (@rickeyp2121) reported@EatPantGames It unfortunate that @PlayStation idiocy is causing problems like this for small indie teams and games. Obviously not everyone can do physical release. @Steam has proven they are trustworthy with digital for decades. Hope people support you over there. I will 👍
-
JustAGamer (@JustAGamer929) reported@Steam you need to figure out your download speed throttling. I have fiber and just cannot use it for your games. Battlenet doesn’t have this issue. The same 38 gig update there finished in 12 minutes. Yours took an hour. Unacceptable
-
Psykatomique productions (@Psykatomique) reported@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.
-
Artofmusic (@ArttomusicYay) reported@Zoroarts @Steam You have 1 level what do you expect.... make a longer game can't expect everyone to play for an hour and keep it. Come on its not steams issue.. I have been making games for over 26 years alone. Can't complain if someone beats it in the 2 hours. Thats on you not @Steam
-
Raimyah (@Raimyah) reportedHey @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.
-
Cloy (@Cloy006) reported@Mr_Clutchweg @Zoroarts @Steam "The problem is that people are getting pushed to try refunds like these because of some speedrunners beating difficult games in under 2 hours and refunding them." People like this wouldntve even tried the game if they didnt see speedrunners play it, there was no will to keep it
-
Caribouwu (@karibuwu) reported@Zoroarts @Steam This is a cultural problem. Not much Steam can do. This is frustrating to have to witness, but probably best to think about it as illusory purchases rather than losses. Those who would refund like this, would never have bought the game in the first place if they couldn't refund.
-
Aniah Mathias (@aniah_mathias3) reported@Steam #@steam I’m new from Nigeria. I’ve been trying to sign up since today and it’s not working the page doesn’t even load it keeps telling me to disconnect from VPN when I’m not even connected and there’s no public link or email to lay a complaint please fix it
-
MultiEnding Heroes OUT NOW! 🇦🇷 (@NicoDiti) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Add a 3 hours ending cutscene like Kojima and no more problems.
-
isawarenshi (@isawarenshi) reported@Ian_Fisch @Zoroarts @Steam The issue is define short in both cases and don't make the policy too unwieldly for actual use.
-
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
-
InquisitorIrene (@OperaOfTheLC) reported@Zoroarts @Steam That’s such a trashy move, why is 2 hours the standard still? There needs to be better ways to issue refunds rather than just a standard 2 hours.
-
N'Tsuki Tia (@NTsuki_Tia) reported@Zoroarts @Steam People will at times be trying to play, have some trouble and be trying to debug it, or just trying to play to see if they like or not, and run go 2 hours before they decide, or confirm if will not work really (specially games that need patching and so so).
-
🔞AeyerLock🔞 (Commission Open) 1/3 (@Aeyerlock) reported@_Lukaerd @Zoroarts @Steam i saw that as a problem but there would need to be an appeal process to prove that the developer implemented a scam. That or perhaps developers need to provide proof when and how the achievemnent is aquired and needs to be tested where it functions normally.
-
MetriusMD (@MetriusMD) reportedI never really had a problem with buying key codes on @KinguinNet until I ran into Pressure by @Chasing_Carrots developer is very bad on discord you can dm anyone it says to email them but the dev will not reply to any emails can't even leave a bad review #baddeveloper @Steam
-
𝕮𝖗𝖎𝖘𝖒𝖚 (@crismu17) reported@ArmaPlatform @Steam Game still broken on Xbox 😭
-
Witchmaster (@Witchmaster) reported@SurvivalGN @ConanExiles @Steam The biggest issues in most survival games of its generation, are to assume PvP can carry interest long term. NEW CONTENT was provided by Modding. But they need something to work with. Gamers need experiences, encounters, mysteries. And do something with what's there. Stagnant 🤬
-
**** Tuglick⛧ (@MuffTuglick) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Easy fix, Make a game with at minimum 5+ hours of gameplay. Make the game have replay value.
-
kate! ΘΔ (@SeedVEVO) reportedthis is still broken, @valvesoftware @steam please fix <3
-
Shadow C | 🍔Arbiter🍕 🌭of🥪 🌮Sandwiches🌯 (@ShadowC5) reported@WastingSanity @Zoroarts @Steam But that would be a problem for certain genre of games, no? For example, certain puzzle genres are fundamentally not replayable, especially if the idea/solution to the puzzle requires planning and thought - and not merely some random generation.
