    Atomic Brick Studio (@Bitbybrix) reported

    Hello @Steam, I bought Sunset Overdrive and Undertale today, but an error occured through my purchase when I bought it. The money was deducted from my card but the Steam app said that the purchase failed due to an incorrect address. I had to redo my purchase for it to work.

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

    @Riley_McKenna1 @Steam Well, I don't know why steam hates you, but I've had no problems

    Does anyone work for steam? I'll take the guy who takes out the trash...I just want a human from steam to tell me no im SOL. That my problem doesn't need anymore looking into and the automated system is right. @Steam

    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.

  • oopsallsolace
    MR.SOLACE (@oopsallsolace) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam There's a community behind this, where people challenge themselves to beat a game under the refund time. Make your game longer and this will not be an issue.

  • GnomeKr
    GnomeK (@GnomeKr) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam You made a 4 dollar rage bait game about paddling with your friend you can beat under 2 hours without even trying to. Of course people are gonna refund it, you're not gonna keep an empty burger wrap after eating the bruger. Problem is with the game, not the system.

    @Zoroarts @Steam Introduce more content extend the gameplay time, problem solved.

  • AzzyDesignWorks
    Azzys Design Works (@AzzyDesignWorks) reported

    @ntbrown01 @Steam I have a 2nd gen MS Surface that I want to turn into a portable steam machine. Problem is going to be cracking it open to replace the battery.

  • VirilethDerg
    Virileth (@VirilethDerg) reported

    @Ain_Macdougal @Zoroarts @Steam You just can't have a refund policy unless it's broken, defective, or not as advertised. Sure people will ***** about no refunds, but that's only because they want to steal. We don't have the kind of high trust society needed to allow for refunds.

  • NicoDiti
    MultiEnding Heroes OUT NOW! 🇦🇷 (@NicoDiti) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Add a 3 hours ending cutscene like Kojima and no more problems.

  • Ladybug_bu
    👾アイリーン👾 (@Ladybug_bu) reported

    🫵😡 @grok @Steam @Steam_Support I made an account on EA App and another on Steam — everything went super smooth and easy. But on Steam I’ve got a problem: it won’t let me log into my account, saying I need to close my mom’s session, even though hers is already closed. I’m not sure if the issue is because I’m using my mom’s PC. When I try to log in on Steam from my phone, it says the password is invalid 😩🔒. I’ve already changed it three times through Steam Help Center and still nothing.

    @EatPantGames It unfortunate that @PlayStation idiocy is causing problems like this for small indie teams and games. Obviously not everyone can do physical release. @Steam has proven they are trustworthy with digital for decades. Hope people support you over there. I will 👍

  • mts_22natoo

    @TheDailyGamer86 @PlayStation @Steam Hi there 👋🏾 What's seems to be the problem with your PlayStation account?

  • cmaciasjimenez
    Carlos Macias (@cmaciasjimenez) reported

    @SnazzyLabs Agree. When I unboxed mine and asked me to plug in for the first time I thought “ok setup” but a couple days later it asked me again for a fw update and that really surprised me. Xbox does it wirelessly without issue. This should be improved @Steam @OnDeck

  • TAW_Odoq
    Odoq (@TAW_Odoq) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam seems like a sinple fix... have a steam achievement when you beat the game. If you get the achievement you can't refund the game...

  • pannkisss

    @martis_off @Steam you need to log out all devices immediately and change ur password, fix steam guard and delete your api key

  • lildeviousdude
    Levi Benoit (@lildeviousdude) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support Steam is inaccessible in the profile selection screen without a mouse. Can you guys fix this? I can use spacebar AND enter to select the options bar and even remove the account, but I can’t sign in. Actual L right here

  • JustAGamer929
    JustAGamer (@JustAGamer929) reported

    @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

  • Raimyah
    Raimyah (@Raimyah) reported

    Hey @Steam, I'm having trouble reporting a developer who slipped DLC for their pixelated game behind a $31/month pay wall on Patreon behind your back. Your help site is a little outdated and I've wanted a ticket on this topic for months.

  • Turbopumpkin1
    Turbopumpkin (@Turbopumpkin1) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Good games don't have this issue

  • ItsRizzleFizzle
    ItsRizzleFizzle (@ItsRizzleFizzle) reported

    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.

  • BOOTZ999
    BOOTZ999 (@BOOTZ999) reported

    @Lenovo if you don't hurry on the patch for your bios update, 100% of @Steam user can take you to small claims court if they allow data tracking for their Lenovo legion go's. And I never agreed to your terms of service on steam OS 3.8(non existent) That's $2230CAD MSRP... Idiots

  • MidKnightKurama
    KalicoShade (@MidKnightKurama) reported

    @jx @ImCadeYT @Steam Take 5 seconds to go to the article, “CEVA received specific delivery-related information from Steam to be able to ship physical hardware to customers in Europe, and told us these are the details the attacker likely took.” So yes it COULD lead to order issues.

  • Aeyerlock
    🔞AeyerLock🔞 (Commission Open) 1/3 (@Aeyerlock) reported

    @_Lukaerd @Zoroarts @Steam i saw that as a problem but there would need to be an appeal process to prove that the developer implemented a scam. That or perhaps developers need to provide proof when and how the achievemnent is aquired and needs to be tested where it functions normally.

  • ArtbyYutami
    ✨Yutami✨ - Comms Open! (@ArtbyYutami) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam I am so sorry this happened and Im glad that person commented as a way for you to see your game isnt the issue, even if they are part of the problem. I hope they change this for smaller games.

  • prynneahroth
    Pryn Nea (@prynneahroth) reported

    @KazuoSergal @Zoroarts @Steam retard. this isnt a fix. imagine a cashier hands you a cookie and its delicious and you go "im not paying because it was too small'

  • TriniCreamHD

    hey @valvesoftware @Steam don't tell me to reset my password just for you to deny my login. fix this **** QUICKLY (e84/87)

    Maxie 🎮 Bloodstained CotM | Visions of Mana (@maxieaftermdnyt) reported

    @PlayStation If I wanna play co-op games, I’d rather play on @Steam No need to pay for multiplayer for online co-op. And they have good customer service when it comes to digital purchases, which you DON’T Ya sure can REALLY afford to go discless? #NoDiscNoBuy

  • AllahingMutant
    AllahingMutant (@AllahingMutant) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Skill issue. Your game is the equivalent of a fat chick that puts out on the first date and is a lousy lay on top of that. If people aren't coming back for seconds, that's on you.
