  • SolusIpsum John Doe (@SolusIpsum) reported

    @Steam I just got a message that a game I owned was removed for "problem with payment". I've had the game since 2015, so that sounds very strange. It seems impossible to find any way to contact support about it on your help page.

  • phatlolol Phatlolol (@phatlolol) reported

    @playnewworld @Steam I preordered New World on Steam about a week ago, but I still don't have access to the beta. What could be the problem??

  • 5CHMITTY Alex Schmitz (@5CHMITTY) reported

    @Steam hey since your company has absolutely no way to contact a person what should I do? I keep resetting my password but cannot sign in to my account. I have reset it multiple times in the past 24 hours and the service will not let me sign in. No idea what to do at this point

  • Vanderley5974X Vander (@Vanderley5974X) reported

    Tweeting @valvesoftware to fix #TeamFortress2 's anticheat (Day 69) (FINAL DAY) Goodbye, VALVE. You lost all my respect. You too, "VAC Discussion" steam forums because you make fun of anyone who talks about it and laugh at then publicly. @Steam #Steam #Valve

  • tjay3853 Onuuwa Jude (@tjay3853) reported

    @Krig_66 @Steam My account got hacked too...i tried contacting support support service but no response so..I went online and searched for a hacker then I got referred to global_protect_security on Instagram i was doubtful at first until they helped me recovered it.

  • popmanbrad popmanbrad (@popmanbrad) reported

    @RogueCompany @Steam can you fix the login issue

  • GlitchDaily Glitch daily (@GlitchDaily) reported

    @RogueCompany @Steam How about you fix the multiple bugs ?

  • leenattress Lee Nattress 🍥 (@leenattress) reported

    My conclusion on Linux gaming: @Steam does not work at all with #proton on this install of #Ubuntu 20. No error logs on any games, no errors just won't start any games. Still a long way to go, very dissapointed.

  • year0098 ↯🤍↯ (@year0098) reported

    @Steam_Support @Steam #FixTF2 #BotCrisis you would think steam would fix the bot problem with how much money it makes them

  • canada_brit 𝕭𝖗𝖔𝖔𝖐𝖊'𝖘 𝕻𝖑𝖆𝖈𝖊 (@canada_brit) reported

    @Steam Trying to install onto my empty 2TB secondary drive. I keep getting "disk write error". I have done every troubleshooting hint I can find and nothing works. Nothing wrong with the drive. Any hints?

  • ReidyJustin p - Justin Reidy (@ReidyJustin) reported

    Word to the wise about purchasing a game on @Steam after a free play weekend, if you put more than 2 hours into the game during that weekend, then decide to purchase it several months later only to find technical issues, you CANT get a refund

  • z0mbie86 Romero.png (@z0mbie86) reported

    @nai_glo @RogueCompany @Steam Yup, not working. Failed to Login.

  • lChiXl (@lChiXl) reported

    So you let users link their Xbox accounts to their social club. But don’t let them switch between their Xbox GTA V account and Steam GTA V account! We would like to switch between the two and no buy gta and link it again. Please make a bypass or fix @steam @RockstarGames

  • HugoRey69391989 JJREYES (@HugoRey69391989) reported

    @Steam Can I download games on the deck and play them with out an issue? I don’t have gaming pc to stream the latest games

  • ARichardson_98 Alex Richardson (@ARichardson_98) reported

    @Steam Is anyone else having problem with steam. The sever went down for me

  • OinkyPro Oinky (@OinkyPro) reported

    @Is10iq @foushe_ @Steam Yeah, hopefully scalping is not as a big of a problem with this one

  • arestris Arestris ☔🐣 | 🐔|🐉 (@arestris) reported

    So, today Steam tells me, they revoked a game (X-Note) from my account, due to "a problem processing payment" … seriously @Steam? After six years (that's not exactly "recently as you claim) you revoke a game, that I legally bought in an @IndieGala Bundle more than six years ago?

  • AidenEd05087280 Aiden Edwards (@AidenEd05087280) reported

    @RogueCompany @_Clohh @Steam I’m trying to log into rogue company on my xbox but it keeps saying failed to send login request any ideas on how to fix this?

  • JamesBe87360679 James Becky (@JamesBe87360679) reported

    @Krig_66 @Steam Don’t panic, I had same issue but with the help of hcybersecurity, I got my issue resolved. Message him on WhatsApp for help ±1 (508) 928-7823

  • cheewee CheeV (@cheewee) reported

    @RogueCompany @Steam unable to login =.="

  • dealer_of_happy Dealer of Happiness (@dealer_of_happy) reported

    @Steam did it without any issues. Everyone who wants one console just simply gets in line with $5 reservation and gets assigned their place in a queue. Simple, fair, easy. I am starting to think @Sony likes to create this dumb drama for free publicity.

  • OinkyPro Oinky (@OinkyPro) reported

    @Gracosef @Steam Bro the ******* lag of my phone :/

  • LateToGaming LateToGaming (@LateToGaming) reported

    Anyone else getting the runaround from @Steam support about the problems with the #SteamDeck reservations? You would think that @Valve would want to make things right, considering the problems were due to their system. Let's hope customer service for the product is better.

  • jedikiller420 JediKiller🇨🇦🐸🌈🇮🇱 (@jedikiller420) reported

    Bought the Master Chief Collection last night on @Steam. Wanted to relive the old days and play some Halo:CE. Spent over a hour recovering my old XBox gamertag. Login to find that Halo:CE isn't even installed by default. What a ***********.

  • guhle_jeremy Jeremy Guhle (@guhle_jeremy) reported
