    @PlayApex I can’t buy apex coins for some reason. Steam won’t authorize. You might see if there’s a fix you guys could make with @Steam @Steam_Support I just want to support a game and a couple of companies I love 🫶🏻💙

    @Mr_Clutchweg @Zoroarts @Steam "The problem is that people are getting pushed to try refunds like these because of some speedrunners beating difficult games in under 2 hours and refunding them." People like this wouldntve even tried the game if they didnt see speedrunners play it, there was no will to keep it

    @Steam you want to spam in the background, but when I go to log in to my account you have been spoofin, now we have a password issues? you pukes!

    @jcrain1991 @Zoroarts @Steam The irony in calling me a simpleton when you're clearly a complete retard, good lord. Now you're making the argument that steam policy should change on one review? My whole point is either most people are refunding after beating it in under 2 hours, in which case its not worth the money, or they are refunding it for other reasons which is a non issue. Either way this dev is complaining about nothing.

    @Zoroarts @Steam Look, I undertand how it's a problem for you, and a seriously one, but, don't be that person, is not a nice posture to take. Steam refunds used to allow a longer time, them were reduced to 4 hours, and now 2, it sucks people still being able to abuse that, but many games (1/2)

    @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.

    @Steam fix the friends thing it says blocked for some reason

  • pikachufrankie
    pikachufrankie (@pikachufrankie) reported

    @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.

  • burnme121107
    cracinlac (@burnme121107) reported

    @Chriss_m @Zoroarts @Steam do you watch a movie and then demand your money back because it was only an hour and a half long? and clearly the quality of the game isnt a problem because people are literally saying they enjoyed it but still refunding it. its bad for the developer who is a person with needs

  • VeganCatBounce
    StockStackr (@VeganCatBounce) reported

    The actual problem is I got a new phone # and steam will not let me log in with a password, an email, they are forcing me to give that phone # I can not play war of rights because I refuse to let steam farm me. **** off @Steam

  • RedBeardedJoe
    RedBeardedJoe (@RedBeardedJoe) reported

    @Mikeparkerz @Zoroarts @Steam The issue is thought if you drag it out for too long and people notice no thought into it or its the same as before people go im done anyways you didnt add anything of Value to it too extend it so we should have a Smallish game Refund system and the 2 hour limit one

  • GingersnapsTM
    Gingersnaps (@GingersnapsTM) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam If you put that DLC you're peddling in the base game instead it would be long enough that nullify this issue.

  • WrenchOfChaos
    Xenos (Ambassador Of Indie Games) (@WrenchOfChaos) reported

    @PotatoCrispDip @Steam The problem is that you can return any game through steam within 2 weeks and played under 2 hours, and many devs who have made critically acclaimed but very short games have made this same complaint about people beating & returning the game. It's a a problem steam needs to fix

  • Josephshandle

    @Steam I was needing assistance with my steam deck, unsure how to fix an issue I am having with it.

  • kakaria
    Gaurav Kakaria (@kakaria) reported

    I am not able to sign in to my steam account even after changing my password 3 times successfully. And there is no option to reach out to steam for issue on the website. It only leads to same landing page for changing the password. @Steam @Steam_Support

  • ShrimpInd
    Shrimp (@ShrimpInd) reported

    Roll The Bones launch update: we have to delay the launch due to an unresolved issue on @Steam and the fact that @Steam_Support hasn't responded to us for 10 days. Not sure about the delay, I hope it's just an hour or two, but unfortunately @valvesoftware is unresponsive.

  • 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.

  • WeezSays
    Mike. No, the other one. (@WeezSays) reported

    Absolute Trash behavior. A Completely unacceptable Gamer trend. Unfortunately, this is never going to stop. It isn't worth it to publish a sub 2 hour game on @Steam until they fix this loophole.

  • martis_off

    Not a single mail nothing from @Steam and im trying for hours to fix this **** help me!!!!!!

  • 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.

  • ProgramRodead
    Rodead (@ProgramRodead) reported

    @Pirat_Nation good for them, still not removing it from my ignore list. which admittedly still doesn't mean much as @Steam's store page is still broken. fix your store damn it! @Steam_Support

  • pannkisss

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

  • sqronce
    Dani (@sqronce) reported

    @Zoroarts @nieyter19 @Steam Some would believe evidence, and some wouldn’t. Receipts help with claims. While you’re trying to prove claims, I’m still waiting on evidence of all the reviews boasting of refunding after completing in under 2 hours, showing that this form of refund was a wide spread issue.

    @Steam I sold my ps5 pro, bye gta 2 years... I have a pc with rtx 4070 and steam, problem solved!

    @Steam any idea when going to address 🤔 this outage you have with customers

  • VeganCatBounce
    StockStackr (@VeganCatBounce) reported

    @Steam I understand security but I will not digit code press your captchas. I guess I can't play War of Rights cause you are more intersted in farming my data than providing me a service?

    @LiquidEffer @Zoroarts @Steam He has the solution at his fingertips yet you and others are here encouraging him to sit on his *** and do nothing about it and wait for the force he has no control over to fix his problem
