    @AkiraJkr1 @ingarbelmont @Steam I guess you don't know how live service games work

  • Helix101_Gaming Heliχ101 (@Helix101_Gaming) reported

    @iam_epik @gundamevolution @Steam Have you been able to download it? I got the email notification but get an error everytime I try to install. Also any word of NDAs?

  • 64brad Brad Haaf (@64brad) reported

    @Steam Eldon Ring... how can you sell a product you know doesn't work and you have to know if there's many different YouTube videos on how to try to fix it...

  • romulo_justen Rômulo Justen (@romulo_justen) reported

    @Steam Hey Steam, i´m from media and i have a problem with a game i received to make a pre-review, can you help me?

  • chunchang_li CZCZ (@chunchang_li) reported

    @Steam When I registered for a STEAM account, I was only prompted to enter my email account, and I was not prompted to set a login password. I have opened by email verification. But don't know the password. I try to change the password But I can't find my email.

  • CSH_Picone csh_picone (@CSH_Picone) reported

    @DoctorFunfrock @Steam There's a big disconnect between what devs and curators see mate. Curators can't approach devs over connect, it's a one-way street. That leaves it up to devs to carefully research who they send keys to. Unfortunately, Steam don't give you much data to make that judgement with.

  • SlackSystemTV SlackSystemTV (@SlackSystemTV) reported

    @LuciaEverblack @Steam @Twitch Jesus Christ that's so awful. It's almost like these platforms just add those rules as lip service, if they don't enforce them. But that can't be true, CAN IT??? /s

  • TM_Todie mellanmjölk & chill / Todie (@TM_Todie) reported

    @DominaGame @LuciaEverblack @Steam Posturing on a divisive issue against a vulnerable harmless community is a very bad look. Regardless what “facts” you put on the table with snarky tweets. Transphobia kills!

  • AkiraJkr1 AkiraJkr (@AkiraJkr1) reported

    @readinglenin @ingarbelmont @Steam That's a Destiny problem, not the players 🤷players shouldn't be taking the short end of the stick for it.

  • TimeMunk 🥀Josh Soles🥀 (@TimeMunk) reported

    @houseflippersim thanks house flipper. Your issues with steam cloud have now removed all my progress and I can’t get it back. I’ve lost 80 hours worth of progress. So pissed off now. Also @Steam fix your damn steam cloud!! You’re erasing all my games!!!!

  • mindflayer mindflayer (@mindflayer) reported

    @Steam Captcha on your site for creating an account is broken. Ive tried two browsers, incognito and regular. Keeps spitting me out to the "BE A HUMAN" error. PITA when I am trying to create an account for my niece, buy the game, so she stops playing on my computer.

  • thatpersonjam Jam (@thatpersonjam) reported

    @DominaGame @AesmaTV @Steam No problems at all I have a problem with your transphobia tho

  • Kevman95 Kevin H (@Kevman95) reported

    @Adamantibus @CoromonTheGame @Steam Ah. Gotcha. I'm sure they'll fix all this.

  • DominaGame DOMINA (@DominaGame) reported

    @LuciaEverblack @Steam I'm not sure what your complaint is, exactly, but if you cannot elaborate on what the problem is, how can we help?

  • Zuko_exe Zuko (@Zuko_exe) reported

    @ingarbelmont @AkiraJkr1 @Steam the reason the game needed to be cut down was due to performance issues, at the end of the day no one is missing the Red war campaign or the planets we barely visited.

  • CoromonTheGame Coromon ⚔️ Out Now on Steam! (@CoromonTheGame) reported

    @MP_Franz_ @Steam if you're having this issue you can bypass the launcher by running the .exe directly from your install folder. It should be located in: SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\coromon If you downloaded to your boot drive it'll be in program files\steamapps\common\coromon

  • Adamantibus Ada (@Adamantibus) reported

    @Kevman95 @CoromonTheGame @Steam I'm talking specifically on Deck but from what I'm reading it affects the PC version in general. On Deck there's this issue too with that anoying Freedom Games page you have to skip every time.

  • bushwickboy bushwickisbeautiful (@bushwickboy) reported

    @Commander_Ivy @Steam @ultra_io can fix that $UOS

  • EnvyDaily TheDaily Daily (@EnvyDaily) reported

    @Steam having issue with my syncing my game and can't play online.

  • Lepetitbart Peter B. (@Lepetitbart) reported

    So @Steam doesn’t let me gift a game to a friend. The #Steam support tells me my account is “gift banned” and close the support ticket with no explanation. I wrote 2 other tickets explaining my problem and what happened to understand WHY. Both got instantly locked with no answer.

  • chshirect چشایر (@chshirect) reported

    @boyohoyo1 @ingarbelmont @Steam But people don't want to lose their progress and things they already earn that was the problem with the release of D2

  • wartoz14 Wartoz14 (@wartoz14) reported

    @Steam Hello @Steam , I have a problem with my account. In fact I can't connect and my account logins have been modified. Is it possible to have any help ? Hope you'll answer me.

  • unknown_aces Unknown Aces (@unknown_aces) reported

    @KILLERTHEVAMP @Steam I hope that Steam fix it soon ,it is very annoying.

  • CoromonTheGame Coromon ⚔️ Out Now on Steam! (@CoromonTheGame) reported

    @MP_Franz_ @Steam we're aware of a similar problem some users are having! We're already working on a fix. Thanks for your patience!

  • caiofdiasp fepel (@caiofdiasp) reported

    @CoromonTheGame @MP_Franz_ @Steam I was having the same problem but running the game directly, bypassing the launcher, did work.

  • SrGonther Gonther's Garbage Can (@SrGonther) reported

  • RayniMist Mistie Comerford (@RayniMist) reported

    @Steam YOU NEED A CUSTOMER SERVICE CALL CENTER! THIS IS BULL! HOW ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE CUSTOMERS AND NO CUSTOMER SERVICE???
