-
Foot Lettuce (@FootLettusplay) reported@Steam put a disc drive in the next steam machine??? I guarantee the games that make the money would have no issues releasing physical.

Cogglesz (@ColinEspMusic) reported@Tardgrde @ImCadeYT @Steam Be careful buddy. Seriously. I noticed with the controllers my reservation was due November 26' So guess what? I've already got it in my hands, a week ago i checked the controller page again to see if my reservation was still active and it literally told me i had 2 days left to buy the thing or i'll lose my (Nov 26') reservation. You'd think, They'd email people who got pushed ahead yeah? No..Not one pop up, not one email telling me the controller was available for purchase. If it wasn't for me wanting to check my status on the controllers store page i'd have lost my reservation and been screwed into 2027. I'm absolutely positive this is happening with the hardware too. I put in a purchase request the same day they announced the steam controllers on the store page (and influencers already had reviews up day 1) So, Not only did i have to spend money prior to when i wanted to? I'm sure there are people who live paycheque to paycheque that can't just spend $100 on a whim. They didn't even notify me with an email or in-steam UI pop ups which they should do for things like this. I really advise everyone checks their hardware orders daily on steam or at least emails about reservations, it's the only way to prevent reservations slipping through our hands because we take a break or are too busy IRL. I've been with valve since 2007 and even bought the V1 controller & Steam Link back in 2015. The quality of service has severely been hampered by Valve selling these things on their own storefront which didn't give me a heads up at all. Be careful!!!!

Robert Stephenson (@CrakaLakaGetSum) reportedHey @Steam fix your stuff! I have funds in my wallet but can’t utilize them? Why? I’ve done all the steps listed but still won’t work. @Steam_Support
-
ARKS Angel (@arks_angel) reported@Steam is everything okay? First I was having issues downloading from the Chicago CDN, and now getting a bad gateway error when viewing my wishlist?
-
StockStackr (@VeganCatBounce) reported@Steam I understand security but I will not digit code press your captchas. I guess I can't play War of Rights cause you are more intersted in farming my data than providing me a service?
-
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.

Useless (@mustafa27007713) reported@Zoroarts @Steam i dont see this as steam fault,2 hours is such a good time window to experience a game especially if its a big pvp paid game (see marathon). now its for sure annoying for people to refund you even tho they loved your game but thats more of people issue then steam issue.

Ḛ̴͓̹̫͈̤͈̿́͝ļ̶̖͋͒̉͂̽̃́̈́̽͛l̸͓̬̦̫̩̄͛̾̈́́͑̉͒̈̈́̐͘͝a̵̍ (@m_Crom_m) reported@prestonjbyrne my twitter 12 (2014) creating an account at 6 makes me 18? my google account is older I watched a minecraft video and it said "hold up a minute!! were not sure how old you are" like **** you don't know @Google b!tches. 22 years @Steam long service badge and they want my id too
-
Sammy Snivels (@john_baker7) reported@flatspritehits @QNDZYcom @Steam Thats because steam doesnt own the game either, once a game is unavailable or shut down steam can only issue you a refund out of their pocket, they cant charge the developer. The main reason is not because they want to keep you money, but because bots buy shut down games to scam
-
Dani boy (@Daniboy07dani) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Who gives a ****? Take your bullshit and get out of here steam has the best refund policy and the best customer service of all gaming and you want to ruin it because people do a any% speed run of a indie game? Get tf out of here with that
-
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
-
Formal Gangster (@FormalgangsterK) reported@PlayApex I can’t buy apex coins for some reason. Steam won’t authorize. You might see if there’s a fix you guys could make with @Steam @Steam_Support I just want to support a game and a couple of companies I love 🫶🏻💙
-
Ⱡ₳₭Ɇ (@L337L4K3) reportedI think with all this bad @PlayStation news I'll keep adding games to my @steam account just in case they really don't fix any of this. Lol but I'ma still play & get games on both. & See what happens when next gen consoles comes out & see if they really will be a ghost town
-
MultiEnding Heroes OUT NOW! 🇦🇷 (@NicoDiti) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Add a 3 hours ending cutscene like Kojima and no more problems.
-
StockStackr (@VeganCatBounce) reportedThe actual problem is I got a new phone # and steam will not let me log in with a password, an email, they are forcing me to give that phone # I can not play war of rights because I refuse to let steam farm me. **** off @Steam
-
Pankaj Indoria (@PankajIndoria1) reported@SteamSupport I'm unable to sign in to my Steam acc. After trying several times, I now receive an "Exceeded" error and can't access my account in the Steam client or browser.This issue is affecting my work. Please look into this as soon as possible. #Steam #SteamSupport @Steam

Gordon G. Hicks Jr. 🔞 (@Gordon_GHIII) reported@Steam if my vanish worked both the Dragon Ball Z fighter games would be the best with a few issues in the 2D where it becomes like an FTK fighter. they blame me for their mechanics.
-
🏴Obscure outpost podcast🐦 (@Obscure_Outpost) reported@ItzPuddleJumper @Steam Worth a try if can use it there might might be recovery menu or something, I don't own a steamdeck but I'm good at trouble shooting things.
-
**** Tuglick⛧ (@MuffTuglick) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Easy fix, Make a game with at minimum 5+ hours of gameplay. Make the game have replay value.
-
Machete Paul (@Machete_Paul_) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I've put 5 hours into A Webbing Journey and most of that was before they added real stuff to do. Just ******* with the physics was entertaining enough to earn 3 hours from me. Sounds like a skill issue homie.
-
Gingersnaps (@GingersnapsTM) reported@Zoroarts @Steam If you put that DLC you're peddling in the base game instead it would be long enough that nullify this issue.
-
Dee Man Blanco (@TriniCreamHD) reportedhey @valvesoftware @Steam don't tell me to reset my password just for you to deny my login. fix this **** QUICKLY (e84/87)
-
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
-
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
-
steviegnote (@Gim_John_Un) reported@Zoroarts @Krazerack @Steam I would brag too if I finished the game in less than 2 hours for free. Maybe that’s a developer and publisher issue, but also why I stay away from steam.
-
Abandoned Account 🏴 🇬🇧 (@Abandac123) reported@Dexerto While @Steam's refunding system is the gold standard for consumers, it's not without its issues. There should be additional rules on the length of gameplay. Like, if u reach 1/4 of the game or the 2 hour window. That's fair. @Steam_Support
-
Sunkanmi Fafowora (@the_jonin_) reportedThat's why @Steam still remains the best company out there, and it's not even close. Their customer service is literally unbeatable at this point. Still saw the recent news of the refund based on the fact that the gamer was cheated in a way after many hours of playthrough.
-
Mike Steel 💵🥩🥃 (@mike_steel_) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Skill issue. Make your game last 3 hours.
-
CynoSideUp 🍳 (@LiquidEffer) reported@L9FRIENDLYSTYLE @Zoroarts @Steam > Two completely unrelated issues
-
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 🤬
