    Hey @Steam @Steam_Support your client software is broken in terms of the built in web browser on Mac. I have to currently use Chrome or Safari to navigate the Store. Also the Steam Friends panel has been broken for a while… please fix it.

  • joedborg Joseph David Borġ (@joedborg) reported

    .@Steam used to care about its customers. Now they’re just like all the other distributors; selling broken software with no fixes and no support.

  • BraxtonMastre Braxton Mastre (@BraxtonMastre) reported

    @Steam Please help me. Trying to return a game I have spend over 11 hours trying to fix that I preordered. You refused the request in an hour after looking at it. The game is physically unplayable.

    @SurviveIcarus @rocketwerkz @Steam want to fix various bugs and blog page Facebook too

  • Larry_C_Ellis Larry Ellis (@Larry_C_Ellis) reported

    @Shuham_Pc @Steam Yeah the games initially great fun, then after a while you get real tired of the issues. These are issues that have existed for over a year, possibly years, yet they keep pushing out DLC instead of fixing the bugs.

  • NFdemon544 NFdemon544 (@NFdemon544) reported

    @Steam I identified a bug on your desktop application. You can input a 128 character long password and change it, however you cannot login after-the-fact with a 128 character password. You report a 64 character limit, but your desktop app doesn't enforce this.

  • 3mmanuelLacort3 Emmanuel (@3mmanuelLacort3) reported

    @ScumGame @Steam_Support @Steam plz help I'm playing Scum and it worked 6 months ago now I installed it again and it always says when I'm trying to join server I login it shows me the game where I spawn then kicks me and says LOST CONNECTION, pls help

  • XoaGray Monstrosity Deluxe! (@XoaGray) reported

    @Steam how is it that a year later there’s still no fix for the controller issue on Mac? My Xbox controller works fine in any game, as long as it’s not through Steam, and every time I try to install the steam controller software, it fails.

  • LittleBeeLight That Phantom Crash Lady 💙 (@LittleBeeLight) reported

    @PumperPixel @Steam It's hell, it also only happens when you are broke, more broke than a broken Ming vase that was broken repeatedly with a hammer specifically made for breaking.

  • BeepuLoFi Beepu🧸🌺 (@BeepuLoFi) reported

    @Steam uhh is steam down? Cant get to my profile or anything without this message. "Something Went Wrong We were unable to service your request. Please try again later. E502 L3"

  • BernfriedI Lord Bernfredo - Race Human #WeLoveGinaCarano (@BernfriedI) reported

    @trekonlinegame Now if we could buy at least buy Zen but noooo... M Your link up with @Steam isnt working, your ingame exchange is impossible to use because its always empty and I can't buy Zen on your website because PayPal doesn't work. Will you PLEASE fix that!!!? No shilling! #FixYourShit

  • CalebACampbell Caleb Campbell (@CalebACampbell) reported

    @Steam The state of TF2 is depressing. Can you not have one of your programmers make a basic algorithm to ban bot accounts by their alias on Steam!? Festive Hitman. COME ON. That would eliminate half of the problem in one fell swoop and wouldn't get real players. #TF2

  • viciousberrypi Viciousberrypi (@viciousberrypi) reported

    @EoeGame @Steam T_T sadly I have hit an issue where, when I try to do the scenes in the INN, my game laggs, laggs some more, tries to load then crashes T_T. I been enjoying the game so far but this has made me oh, so sad.
