    @valvesoftware @steam @CounterStrike please fix

    @0bscuratea @valvesoftware @Steam The problem is that for import purposes, this means a higher price than the DualSense, and it's not that competitive, even though it's pretty cool.

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Why u blaming Steam? when 99% of the issues come from your stupid UPlay launcher and denuvo. the ******* nerve to tweet this...

    It's Totally Mikoto Time! (@MikotoWolfskin) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam Selling out in 36 minutes is absolutely bathetic! Where is the Que? Preorders? Why did you not stop scalping! 2 per customer didn't help! in the start 1 per customer and stop reviewer from getting one in the start. Endless transaction error. Highly disappointed!

    @valvesoftware @Steam Sucks you were able to let me put in money no problem, but let the scalpers buy everything.

    @Pirat_Nation Don't care. Microslop had years➕ to fix @Windows & are only doing it now bc losing ppl to Linux & @Steam. These companies will never learn – I hope gamers finally do. Money is voting power & I haven't spent any since "Xbox One (won)".

    @valvesoftware @Steam Already know this will instantly sell out or the site will crash despite people saying it cost too much.

  • StirlingForge
    Stirling Forge (Unsupervised) (@StirlingForge) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam transaction error at exactly 10:00am. the bots won

  • Adammck

    @valvesoftware @Steam Gave up on trying to buy one. Damn store was broken with nothing but errors. Guess I’ll get one in a year or so.

  • LuieeSkyWalker
    Skywalker D. Luiee (@LuieeSkyWalker) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support I’ve been trying to checkout the steam controller since it went live keep getting an error and now it’s sold out? I should’ve been able to purchase at 10am pct when I put it in my cart

  • torelethain
    Torelethain (@torelethain) reported

    @KlassischeMann @valvesoftware @Steam **** off ****, there is plenty of reason for criticism, scalpers are an issue they had figured out and solve on the Deck launch, this was failed roll out. If it genuinely was sold we would be more understanding and happy for Valve. This was a mistep **** sucking fanboi.

    @SleepingFumo @Steam Glad someone understands the pain. It's gotten way worse lately too; always had issues but would maybe get 2x the actual playtime logged, annoying, but not the end of the world, but now I'm two hours into Higurashi and somehow already have over 200 hours logged!!!

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam play the dam game is all it is. Just login and play a game

  • DevanaUkraine
    Devana 🇺🇦 (@DevanaUkraine) reported

    @ukraine_world In @Steam , although Lvivska oblast is written correctly, but the city Lvov instead of Lviv. And when they comment, they are silent, but other users say that steam simply connected some international bases and they have a problem, because it is wrong there. @Steam_Support

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam I fully intended to get GTA 6 ok PS but with this I’d rather wait until it come out on PC. Not even a PS issue but the inconvenience and mental load of having to open my PS If I’m playing on PC, it’s not much, just more effort than I’m willing to give.

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam just don't buy Ubislop games and the problem is solved

  • HermanKrue10077
    Herman G. Krueger (@HermanKrue10077) reported

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Bro, is this a late April fool? You have perhaps one of the shittiest launchers ever made in pc history. Every ******* time I open Uplay I have to resyinc some **** or login again. Just do yourself a favour, close that Cloaca Maxima and bring your games on Steam already.

  • DaveTheRetroGuy
    Avalice Productions (@DaveTheRetroGuy) reported

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam This wouldn't be a problem if your launcher actually worked 🙄

  • Zalzarrquack
    Zalzarr【Momma Quack 】 (@Zalzarrquack) reported

    Imagine harassing me 4 hours just sending me invites after invites like begging you wanna play with me, doing 3 different accounts on twitch, getting banned 3 times, changing your Steam name almost 5 times and THEN sending me this unban request?! @Steam your blocking system is not working btw.

  • heavilof
    Vladyslav Rezohlazov (@heavilof) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam fix vac, it's false banning people 24/7 but not banning people with very famous pellix

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam It's your ****** launcher that's the problem

  • longshotmagoo
    Stephen McHugh (@longshotmagoo) reported

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck I knew the controller would sell out fairly quick like but 30 mins is insane haha. Valves biggest problem is filling demand, that's a great problem lol

  • drakaritto
    Mario Garcia (@drakaritto) reported

    @Steam Dear Steam Support, I have been trying to resolve an issue with my account for over a month now. Despite contacting your online support multiple times, I keep receiving a message that my account is tied to a sanctioned country.

  • excitedpixels
    Jeremy Wood (@excitedpixels) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support do you have a random shipment generator for orders as it seems you are shipping the steam controllers randomly. I ordered at 57 just before, and my wife's at 18 past because you were broken for her. It's Def not in any kind of order which seems unfair. :(

  • Tristan_fergus
    CaptainSp33dy (@Tristan_fergus) reported

    @KlassischeMann @valvesoftware @Steam you need to check, before making outrageous comments. the issue in hand is scalpers buying them. So, if users are getting upset mentioning about scalpers, then the "morons" remarks is baseless.

  • delapaz_matt

    @0bscuratea @valvesoftware @Steam Meanwhile ps5 is $60 with stick drift that can happen out of nowhere with no good fix

  • I_am_Wyrd
    Wyrd (@I_am_Wyrd) reported

    @Steam I'm not sure what the issue is, but in South Africa @Steam browser barely loads. I have done all the trouble shooting, nothing fixes it. Looking to buy a game? Can't. Nothing loads. This problem has been persistent for over a year. Please fix!

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Bad enough they got issue that they can't fix with the console itself.

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Have u try to disconnect your PC from internet for a day, then try run Steam and play games there.
