Groovy (@SOFTSIDEOGROOVE) reported@painmute @Moonie__OS @Steam literally just a person. you really need to get off the internet and solve some actual problems, incel.
-

Big Cert (@BigCert412) reportedI played this dogshit game on ******* steam for 3 hours and I can’t get a refund now? Horrible service @Steam @Steam_Support
-
MI Pixel | Wishlist Little Devil on Steam! (@MIPixelStudios) reportedI was trying to release the update now and this has happened! Basically, had an issue where my phone broke, have a temporary one for now. Now @Steam have apparently blocked me from releasing it for 72 hours due to the new phone! 😭 I have sent a message, hopefully we can get this resolved! #IndieDev #GameDev
-
Daniel Ericksen (@Erickdanielson9) reported@Steam @Steam_Support I need help, I can't sign into steam support to enter a ticket because I'm encountering a log in error. I attempted to change my password but have no gone over the attempts. Every PW change kicked me out to an error. Can't find any other way to contact
-
Tired (@DetestableNeet) reported@Retro__Machine @IGN @Steam Steam is literally a digital game service
-
The Older Gamer Guy (@TheOldrGamerGuy) reported@Steam @Steam_Support This issue was resolved after we connected to a stable internet connection. Only then did our decks open as normal. Did they have to download something extra? Times differed.
-
CHRISTOPHER D. BRAND (AUTHOR) (@CHRISDBRAND) reportedAnd just to take the piss, I had Invisible War as I bought the two together but that game just crashes on start, which turns out is a well known bug without a fix. So again @Steam cheating me out of a purchase. If they don't refund it I'm not buying from Steam any more. **** 'em.
-
Captain Sockman the A-log (@SockmantheAlog) reported@obakepam @Steam If it has it, it has it. I dunno what to tell you since it's becoming a big part of the industry though now we have just as bad of a problem if not worse than unity asset flips.

Happy Gamer (@HappyGamerNews) reportedThe Sinking City Steam Demo Gets Crash Fixes and Balance Tweaks #Gaming @Steam
-
WraithMedia86 (@WraithM86) reportedMy night is going so well tonight… @Steam : “You need to change your password because it’s the one we set for you.” Me: resets password Steam: “that’s not the right password” Me: *goes through the “forgotten password” dialogue* Steam: “Too many login attempts. Try again later”🙃
-
Vesper+ Expansion🎈 (@deepvesperplus) reportedLets be real here @valvesoftware has no ***** in this @Steam should be treating the Steam Deck as a loss leader. You're not beholden to investors every quarter. You can afford to eat some margin and make hardware that actually moves the market. Where's the $299 Steam Deck? Where's the $499 Steam Machine? You really think people wouldn't jump on that in a heartbeat? Gaming hardware prices are so messed up right now that Valve could practically own the budget market if it had the nerve to try. @valvesoftware fix it.
-
Daniel Fryer (@Danielandtails) reported@ToanChan_ @Steam @ToanChan_ I have the exact same problem...I raised a ticket with steam, and they said they would make a note of my feedback, which essentially goes nowhere
-
FastPuppy (@fastpuppy) reported@AndoCal78 @CrimsonDesert_ There are a few reports about the crash in the @Steam discussion board for the game so it isn't an isolated problem and is likely related to the last update. Over 200 hours of playtime this without incident before this.
-
HandheldGaming4Life (@HHG4Life) reportedEA games are just so bad! The jankie game save setup between @EA and @Steam means your only ever one game crash away from a wiped save file and start over. 🤦 Been racing my son on NFS Heat. Was just leveling up to his level now back to level 1. Ruuuuuuubish!
-
TehLaw (@TehLaw1) reported@obakepam @Steam Get a real problem.
-
Netleaf 🇺🇸 (@netleaf2) reported@Steam Will you please fix the damn steam client? I just had to redownload a 100GB game because I couldn't move it due to a 'content lock file' error. That is total nonsense, total bullshit. If I had moved the files manually it would have worked fine. But I'd rather cost you money.
-
JuJu aka LUZ aka SOL JR 🇩🇴🇭🇹🪬 (@NaiZeni) reported@ilitchpeters @Steam True but this predatory thing is industry wide not just Sony. Look at GTA with their 30 fps on the game. Its more of a industry issue than a sony issue.
-
myXCuriosity (@myXCuriosity) reported@Pirat_Nation piracy IS proof that demand exists and that the product or service isn't being sold or priced in a way that the customer thinks is worth the effort to pay. piracy is a service issue. a distribution issue. a sales issue. go ask Gabe at @Steam . he's the expert on this.
-
Lucas NC (@Nc61706525Nc) reported@Steam, why does this error occur? Error There was a problem trying to follow this Steam Curator. Possible reasons: You cannot follow a curator that you are already ignoring. You can only follow up to 100 curators at the same time. Limited accounts cannot follow a curator. OK
-
Flirtypurplederg (@DatpurpledergAD) reportedHi @Steam @valvesoftware I have this problem on steam chat through webbrowser with Firefox ESR if I click an emoji, could be some javascript problem: Error Reference: undefined_undefined_07dd045a704c2fa6 D.showPopover is not a function idk if you can fix. Thanks.
-
Voidy 🏳️⚧️🖤 (@voidyfrown) reported@itsmja00 @Steam I put in a refund request and they gave me an error lol I’m not even really expecting anything I just don’t morally agree with how they’ve conducted themselves. If the game was still running and being updated I wouldn’t request a refund, and I haven’t opened it in years
-
Warren Harris (@Skippytmg) reportedDoes everyone forget on steam you can backup your game and then burn those files to a disc ? I get its not a perfect solution but I can still make physical backups to my games. @Steam should offer a new service that allows you to pay 5-10$ for games that participate to order a physical copy.
-
Ender Cypher (@ender_cypher) reported@Pirat_Nation @Steam @Steam_Support please find a way to fix this
-
Brenten Smith (@Brenten007) reported@EGOSOFT @Steam @GOGcom I just went to the weapons control panel on a builder ship and the game ******* crashed. The worst part I deleted one of my save games and still there are errors.
-
Chauncey (@chauncey_NYC) reported@studiozaum @Steam Any idea if this will address some of the other sound/voiceover issues? I’ve encountered issues with both the guy at the top of the pylon and the music seller guy in the bazaar, halfway through a conversation the dialogue voice over will just stop playing.
