    @ToanChan_ @Steam ah ages verify issues just like in canada... i am afraid credit card is only option, here they just put in ban social media under 16 of age but really for older over need send id government card (mainly only id) or credit card if no way

    @DragonSnow4 @obakepam @Steam As for government's punishment, failure to disclose AI use should result in the permanent destruction of all their copyright with the inability to file new copyrights until they fix it. Anything created during the time of their lie should be free from copyright too.

    @Moonie__OS @Steam It’s a game that teaches about history. I don’t see the problem.

    @__Amber_Lynn_ @ToanChan_ @Steam it’s uk law, sites with adult content require age verification. there’s been pushback about facial scans and id scans so some some sites have opted for credit cards. problem is credit isn’t as popular over here, i don’t have one either, means ur locked out of 18+ games

    Ivan Ironfist (@IvanIronfist) reported

    @Moonie__OS @Steam - Big hit reg issue causing you to hit slaves by accident - Lots of micro at the start - No mechanics explanation but not too hard to figure out - Needs more lore and house staff - Needs slaves of different races with different buffs - Cost $1 which is not bad but lacks content

    @valvesoftware @Steam This is a ****** service! I reserved one minute past 10 pacific and I’ve been waiting 15 days for a chance to buy it! I could understand if I took my time reserving! Valve you need to do better!

    @Steam @IOInteractive Please fix the collectibles achievements 😓😭

  • deepvesperplus
    Vesper+ Expansion🎈 (@deepvesperplus) reported

    Lets be real here @valvesoftware has no ***** in this @Steam should be treating the Steam Deck as a loss leader. You're not beholden to investors every quarter. You can afford to eat some margin and make hardware that actually moves the market. Where's the $299 Steam Deck? Where's the $499 Steam Machine? You really think people wouldn't jump on that in a heartbeat? Gaming hardware prices are so messed up right now that Valve could practically own the budget market if it had the nerve to try. @valvesoftware fix it.

    @Steam What are you doing??? You allow soo many early access that many games become just scams! What is with this release a game and fix it later, the game industry is a disgrace!

  • SOFTSIDEOGROOVE

    @painmute @Moonie__OS @Steam literally just a person. you really need to get off the internet and solve some actual problems, incel.

  • EP_SAM09
    SAM🇮🇷 (@EP_SAM09) reported

    @NimBold @Steam, this issue needs to be solved fast. The U.S. treasury department has lifted restrictions set on online platforms since January. Saying "you're sanctioned no can do " is extremely unacceptable. We've just come out of a #DigitalBlackOut. That's not a nice welcome.

  • Danielandtails

    @ToanChan_ @Steam @ToanChan_ I have the exact same problem...I raised a ticket with steam, and they said they would make a note of my feedback, which essentially goes nowhere

    @upgradepcfr @Steam Had same issue @KarenVault resolved it quickly.

    Sometimes I just want to gift my friends a game on steam, but somehow I can't because of my region. Heck, I'm down to pay whatever it is in their region, just give me an option to! @Steam fix pls I'm begging you

    Massive props to @Steam . Courier dropped my Steam Controller 4 hours from my address (same one my Steam Deck reached just fine), couldn't be rerouted — so they sent a replacement AND gifted me Forza Horizon 6 to make up for it. Downloading now. This is how customer service should work 🎮 @ForzaHorizon

    @ToanChan_ @Steam I use a debit card and I don't have this issue at all. I'm able to see any game on the market. Something is weird.

    I was trying to release the update now and this has happened! Basically, had an issue where my phone broke, have a temporary one for now. Now @Steam have apparently blocked me from releasing it for 72 hours due to the new phone! 😭 I have sent a message, hopefully we can get this resolved! #IndieDev #GameDev

    @tbsun13 @Moonie__OS @Steam Yeah, and? If I find it funny and even want to pay for that game, what’s the problem? Mind your own business.

  • GMJSindarov
    Javokhir Sindarov (@GMJSindarov) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support Message from Javokhir's agent and manager : Javokhir didn't get banned, he's not cheating nor anything, He just has a problem with his inventory, and we know steam support could be slow, so he wanted to use his X account as he knows some cs2 people follow him

  • RememberToHope
    RememberToHope (@RememberToHope) reported

    Will the MORONS at @Steam fix Dead Island 2? It's missing the "anti easy cheat" install files after the update, so it can't launch anymore if people uninstall then reinstall it. Your staff are abolute derps. This has been a persisting issue for months (since the last update).

  • wengo314
    yoshi314 (@wengo314) reported

    @obakepam @Steam i have a problem with this. you can have a game that was prototyped with ai or ai was used for some minute details. and you can have lazily made game that's really lazy ai slop. and both would fall under this umbrella.

  • AegisOfAvalon
    Aegis of Avalon (@AegisOfAvalon) reported

    @Pirat_Nation @Steam @valvesoftware In an ideal world yes, but it's more to the effect of a grandfathered in aspect. Roughly 75% of everyone is there, other options are almost moot, as a cult following talks about convenance, and then complains about every aspects it creates. If one want's to be able to refund any game, expect that game to be 100 dollars, especially when purchasing it from a 3rd party store front. Don't mistake the issue. This is not a "Steam" issue, it's an informed consumer issue. So what Gabe Newell says is technically true, but the users are on auto pilot to the next fad, not proper investment. It is the consumer that makes Steam a "monopoly", not Steam/Valve itself. #StopKillingGames #DirectSupport #FundAllocation

    @herogamer0108 @Steam Transaction error when I try to buy a game as a gift using my Steam wallet.

    @Steam TBH: Task Bar Hero distributes unfair bans due to poor cloud implementation without proper explanation, obviously people are unhappy having 0 day(s) since last ban. Please force game developers to solve this issue. If they doubt their vibecoded detection code, unban *all*

  • King18Anime
    AnimeKing18 (@King18Anime) reported

    Found an issues with Steam VR when ether trying to load Steam VR or trying to load a VR Game. @Steam and/or @SteamVR would crash. I thougt it was my dying Hard Drive (because sometimes it causes issues) but no, the solution was to unplug my PS5 controller. IDK if its a issue in Steam or Steam VR given I haven't left my PS5 controller plugged in in a while. Also I'm using Linux (CachyOS) and the headset I'm using is the Quest 3 (sadly) @valvesoftware #Linux #VR #Gaming
