  • yaitsaravedave Treat People Better (@yaitsaravedave) reported

    @BelleMuerte66 @FantasyGrounds2 @Steam That's $14.42 an hour for full time white collar employment that requires hosting and customer service as well as in depth experience with multiple proprietary platforms You're devaluing everything that makes the job skill set unique

  • JordanAten Jordan Aten (@JordanAten) reported

    @AlfieGman @playnewworld @Steam Cool I personally enjoy bf 2042 and a lot haven't so its fine to like something that was semi broken at launch doesn't mean it deserves to even be thought about for goty when plenty of good games came out with a lot less issues

  • JulieLo84395079 Julie Lou (@JulieLo84395079) reported

    @Zexyz @Steam I was recommended to @Quick_restore. He was able to recover my disabled account in less than an hour. He is legit and highly recommended for the service. Go contact him now to get your account back

  • DeadWintersNigh Bild @ Dead Winter's Night (@DeadWintersNigh) reported

    @FibroJedi @Steam @lotro That was a problem I had with it last year. Managed to reinstall it using the client from LOTRO's website (eventually) & it worked fine. But it was an internet speed issue that was the fault of our provider as I was having difficulties getting tv shows & youtube videos to stream.

  • Tool_Lian David (@Tool_Lian) reported

    @Hache_raw @Steam So sorry about that,I have had similar issues like that before,but KridCrack on Instagram helped me out,he’s a genius

  • ToriTheShrigma Tori (@ToriTheShrigma) reported

    @Steam I cant log into my steam account for some reason. All my emails are not working as well as my passwords. I have purchased a few thing so I can confirm it is my account. I tried to use steam support but I still didnt get any help.

  • Hache_raw ¡Hache_raw está en Twitch! (@Hache_raw) reported

    Hello @Steam how can I open a ticket or contact suport? it is impossible. It's a infinite loop in your "help page". I have a big problem with my account and I need help ASAP. Thanks

  • UnrealBhop bhop (@UnrealBhop) reported

    @DABeardedHippie @Steam sounds like a you problem.

  • FarFetched731 Far Fetched (@FarFetched731) reported

    @Subnautica @Steam I have a MBP M1 Max system, with plenty of horsepower. Frame rates are pretty good, despite running via Rosetta, but the texture glitches are just horrid, breaking the beauty of this game under many circumstances. Please please please fix. Thanks.

  • HistoryBoomer Carl 🇺🇸🇮🇱🏳️‍🌈🚀🏴‍☠️ (@HistoryBoomer) reported

    @MatthewGalanty @Steam Spirit Island, but that wasn't the problem. Steam itself wouldn't load. But now it does!

  • masterwriter42 Drifter Carbon (@masterwriter42) reported

    @blacktabbygames @Steam So glad you managed to resolve the issue. I wonder what caused this issue in the first place? Proof that no system, even Steam, is perfect.

  • westmi55 Mico West (@westmi55) reported

    @Steam idk what is going on but every game i play from you i lag like crazy i dont understand is there a problem on your ens cos i've tried everything on mine

  • BumpyMcSquigums Bumpy McSquigums (@BumpyMcSquigums) reported

    I hate the "cannot send due to regional price differences" crap from @Steam, when trying to gift stuff, so much. How is it my family from the US can gift me games and send them no problem, but when I try to do the same, you're like NOPE. Why is this even a thing?

  • Zexyz Zexyz (or Ralf, or Joe, or whatever it is today.) (@Zexyz) reported

    Okay, y'all. Let's see if I can get my disabled gamer's Christmas Shopping done before @Steam locks out my account... Again. Seriously, it's been YEARS, @Steam — You NEED to fix the cart to show multiple #gifts to multiple users with one transaction. YOU'RE PROGRAMMERS, RIGHT?!

  • JoshDeGayner Egg (@JoshDeGayner) reported

    Don’t worry guys I figured out my sensitivity issue on @halo it was some stupid controller setting on @Steam all good

  • EjolZainal I Z Z U L F I K R I. (@EjolZainal) reported

    @Floxxoo1 @Steam Contact @hsbbits for your account I had same issues some weeks ago dm immediately to rectify your account his an expert.

  • slice3d Slava Sedovich (@slice3d) reported

    @FarFetched731 @Subnautica @Steam Please try switching to experimental branch (we made some fixes for Mac OS there) and let me know if your issues are still present. Native M1 support is planned, but it requires upgrading Unity and a bunch of packages, so no ETA unfortunately.

  • GearWarriorGam1 GearWarriorGaming (@GearWarriorGam1) reported

    @AMZNGameStudios @Steam This must be mistake. You guys seriously cannot give out awards to broken games like this. There are too many games that deserve this nomination more.

  • sauceshadow Jake Moore (@sauceshadow) reported

    @Steam I'm borderline ready to kill someone because of the issues I'm having with steam and I can't get HELP I'M ASKING FOR HELP BEFORE I WANT TO END MY LIFE JUST HOLY **** PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST GET ME HELP WITH THIS THIS IS MY LAST RESORT

  • gingerwix 🌳Yer Local Antifa Witch (@gingerwix) reported

    @Steam can't purchase, ticket is not working, what do i do?

  • MaltySaltyy Radu (@MaltySaltyy) reported

    @wrvolkmann @playnewworld @Steam This fix was one of the biggest points in that patch. I saw forum posts about nonworking basics attacks not even an hour after the patch came out. Meanwhile the devs were posting about the positive feedback they were getting. And this was just one of many bugs.

  • IkeCHUkwuOKOR0 Meska-Fone™ 🇳🇬 (@IkeCHUkwuOKOR0) reported

    @Steam Please I can't login to my steam account, it shows username or password incorrect while i write the correct one. When i try recovering, it says this account can't be recovered because it needs additional security verification. Help me please I'm frustrated

  • IndustriesOc Oc Industries (@IndustriesOc) reported

    @Steam @SteelWoolStudio My game keeps crashing at the exact same place. Fix this xoxo

  • Minamoto_W Jefferson Costa (@Minamoto_W) reported

    @OverTake_gg @Steam I have the original of the first one, and... It looks like the sequel isn't an improvement. Got it because it was cheap, but the framerate issues made me regret spending cents on it.

  • JulieLo84395079 Julie Lou (@JulieLo84395079) reported

    @Swaezy00 @Steam I was recommended to @Quick_restore. He was able to recover my hacked account in less than an hour. He is legit and highly recommended for the service. Go contact him now to get your account back

  • Xeeshan_009 Zeeshan Manzoor (@Xeeshan_009) reported

    @RockstarGames Trash @EpicGames Trash @Steam Trash Fix your issues with the servers, And atleast let us know the reason that all of these broke down at the same time we wanna know ?

  • knitonepurrtoo Marlene S. (@knitonepurrtoo) reported

    @FibroJedi @Steam @lotro A shutdown a d restart of the service is the Linux version of a reboot. :)

  • theresaabuti63 Alice Frank (@theresaabuti63) reported

    @PeculiarBreed_ @Steam Send a DM to Best_recovery11 he is the best when you have problem about hacked and suspended account.

  • TrashBeta69 TrashBeta (@TrashBeta69) reported

    @Steam the store isnt working, please fix it

  • FibroJedi Fibro Jedi (@FibroJedi) reported

    @knitonepurrtoo @Steam @lotro Meh, it was Steam just being PITA. I closed it down and restarted it and it worked. So yeah, in this case, a Windows fix did help. Thanks!
