  how to talk to your dog about doomscrolling (@theangrylisas) reported 7 minutes ago

  @GabeNewell @valvesoftware @Steam DoD:S was probably my favorite game ever. The leaked source has a bug in it. The overhead achievement loop breaks on the first unlocked badge, meaning anyone who gets them all is locked to the rifleman badge. Give me repo access and I’ll fix it.

  @Zoroarts @Steam Portal 1 is roughly a little over an hour long, yet has never had this issue. Limbo is only a few hours long, and also never had this issue. You can make short games that people won’t want to refund. If people are mass refunding your game, it’s because it isn’t worth the price.

  Steam Road to Vostok Observation The game freezes for 1/2 a second to a second [approximate] every time I encounter a bandit UPDATE: This problem only seems to occur when an external monitor is used @Steam @Steam_Support @roadtovostok

  Oi @Steam can’t login or view friends list or games list on the app or the desktop app

  @GamingCentral26 The subscription isn't the issue. It's ownership and recovery. Digital libraries only work if verified owners can regain access after a compromise. @Steam has shown this is possible for years.

  @PotatoCrispDip @Steam But Steam is the biggest by far so you're losing an insane amount of money & exposure by not having your game on Steam, and there's no reason to keep the store hostile to short games when there's a simple fix. I don't understand defending keeping it that way.

  Sony should refund people that they take media away from, OR let them ultimately ∞ be able to access it like they paid for, when they bought it in the first place. Look at @Steam for good models of digital ownership. When a game leaves the store, it's no longer purchasable for new players. BUT< anyone that previously purchased that, can play it till they're sick of it. Blackouts will starve gamers, maybe even help them quit gaming... I doubt Sony is going to change their minds... but they can at least give 2TB/4TB nvme's for the prices they're going to expect in the future, and thanks to the size of games down the line too... There's too many sides to this to really bive one definitive solution or answer... but it should start with good online digital store etiquette to help counter the problem they're creating. Monopolies all suck. I hate publisher prices for my region on Steam, but Steam still lets me activate games that I get keys for outside of Steam. The grey market is my second home and steam is the platform to collect the achievements, the cards, the badges, etc. Thanks for that Gabe Newell

  Is anyone having issues loading into Apex on Steam? I can't get passed the initializing stage. @PlayApex @Steam

  See the problem with posts like these it’s that they are disingenuous really. The ONLY reason these numbers are like this is because @Steam and @valvesoftware haven’t made the game verified for steam players. That’s the reason here.

  Steam Road to Vostok More gameplay issues Guns repeatedly jamming at the worst possible time, even ones with high durability ratings, especially when carrying lots of valuable items ["synced"] @Steam @Steam_Support @roadtovostok

  I 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

  PaLM AI - $PALM (@palmaierc) reported 43 minutes ago

  Major Announcement - Fall 2026 This fall, our local AI harness that rivals everything else currently on the market, root, is going to be shipped as a software product over to @Steam. 1) Publishing the application on Steam will remove the need for a separate signature on the executable. 2) Steam has become the go-to for gaming & creativity related software tools, which goes hand-in-hand with root. 3) Wide accessibility. You acquire it once, and it is yours forever. The Steam Version will not support any cryptocurrency features and all sales revenue will be registered to the Web2 side of our business. It will also be restricted and controlled according to the Terms of Service of Steam and other agreements that the company may become liable to, including a refund policy. We will keep the community updated on the status of the publication. Expect it to happen within a few months. Thank you for your support.

  @Steam you need to figure out your download speed throttling. I have fiber and just cannot use it for your games. Battlenet doesn’t have this issue. The same 38 gig update there finished in 12 minutes. Yours took an hour. Unacceptable

  @Steam The Steam Mobile App crashes upon pulling up the 2FA prompt making it impossible to log in. Please fix.

  @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.

  @Steam your support sucks. You won’t refund a game that has under 4 hours of play time. You see all the reviews. It’s broken.

  @Steam put a disc drive in the next steam machine??? I guarantee the games that make the money would have no issues releasing physical.

• 
  Indieanos Gaming (@Indieanos) reported 1 hour ago

  A serious issue especially for indie developers that @Steam needs to take seriously into consideration. If the player finishes the game, should he have the right to refund it? On the other hand, if this change is made and the game is short on purpose, the player is not protected.

  TFW I was trying to buy the Kingdom Hearts bundle on STEAM. It gave me an error that my address is wrong but it still charged me. Now I'm out $30 and no games... @Steam @Steam_Support help pleaseeeee
