    @Steam can’t get in to my account, can’t play a game I own because of this and can’t buy a disc to play the game without needing to login to this stupid unnecessary platform

    @Parafolkmore @Steam @ParalivesGame Oh hm, if the cpu temp is higher than recommended then yeah that is an issue. But if the temp is fine I don't think you need to worry about it too much & I find that the "huge" mods get a bit heavy on my pc, but "small mods" such as for costume or optimization aren't as demanding

    @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.

    @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.

    @Pirat_Nation @Steam @valvesoftware In an ideal world yes, but it's more to the effect of a grandfathered in aspect. Roughly 75% of everyone is there, other options are almost moot, as a cult following talks about convenance, and then complains about every aspects it creates. If one want's to be able to refund any game, expect that game to be 100 dollars, especially when purchasing it from a 3rd party store front. Don't mistake the issue. This is not a "Steam" issue, it's an informed consumer issue. So what Gabe Newell says is technically true, but the users are on auto pilot to the next fad, not proper investment. It is the consumer that makes Steam a "monopoly", not Steam/Valve itself. #StopKillingGames #DirectSupport #FundAllocation

    @obakepam @Steam AI is not a problem. Shovelware predates AI by years.

  • wengo314
    yoshi314 (@wengo314) reported

    @obakepam @Steam i have a problem with this. you can have a game that was prototyped with ai or ai was used for some minute details. and you can have lazily made game that's really lazy ai slop. and both would fall under this umbrella.

    @Steam TBH: Task Bar Hero distributes unfair bans due to poor cloud implementation without proper explanation, obviously people are unhappy having 0 day(s) since last ban. Please force game developers to solve this issue. If they doubt their vibecoded detection code, unban *all*

    @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.

    @TimSweeneyEpic @EpicGames @Steam Yes, we can buy games on Steam using Visa and Mastercard. Also, providers like nsave now fully support Syria. But on Epic, we can't even claim free games. we can browse the store fine, but the actual checkout/claim process just errors out every time.

    @Steam Can't sign in, changed password again, can't sign in, changed password again. Don't recognize my email address that you've had for years, missing download for Rome Total War, Steam support is ****, Steam website is ****. Don't respond to requests for support. Steam is ****

    Nicrome Retra (@NicromeRetra) reported

    @xritsken @NakiVT @Steam It's a big part of the gameplay and you can do way more then just whip people to get them to work. Other examples is Palworld where pals are treated as slaves and can be butchered. It's ridiculous to say the whipping that is the only problem. Remove the whipping and it's fine?

    @CounterStrike dog **** game full of cheaters 🫠 Why can't @Steam make it that if you have a game ban of any sort you shouldn't be allowed to play online games And multie van bans. gee I wonder how low life this guy is. Fix your ******* game so I can just play against 5 legits!

    @Steam So fed up, having to log into those UNNECESSARY gaming-platforms (even f offliners)! Let's look at the consumer-perspective: you are forced into being monitored and exploited! I remember much better user-service as long as developer/publishers managed servicing all by themselves.
