  • iEatMensButts Buttman (@iEatMensButts) reported

    @Steam use all that money you steal from gambling addicts and fix your goddamn servers

  • Ztec6 Zed (@Ztec6) reported

    @AskPayPal @Steam Tried being already connected, and it's worse. Honestly, seeing this kind of error make me seriously reconsider your ability (paypal) at doing secure things on internet. Those errors seems to show a lack of understanding or ability to manage correctly basic content-policy rules.

  • DraeAcevedo Steven Drae Acevedo (@DraeAcevedo) reported

    @SteamStatus @Steam understand there's an issue. Would be nice if the Default Error code was a link into an updated Server Update notice ya know..like this page, or any other page..here's to hoping it's fixed soon! 🤞
