    I ******* hate @Steam cloud syncing; constant issues with it especially with Rimworld and the Steam Deck. There are days I can't play because neither the desktop nor the deck will sync leaving me in limbo. I'd rather use a USB cable at this point.

  • G44mbl3 Gamble (@G44mbl3) reported

    Hello, @Steam @Steam_Support I have a problem it's been several times that I have had waves of people trying to connect to my Steam account... It's really unpleasant to say the least... Even if I change my password, it starts again 10 minutes later….

  • drewbengela Drew (@drewbengela) reported

    @ikwulono_m @Steam How do you solve the problem? I'm really worried. I hope you can help me. I'm only suitable for my students. Many of my accessories are rented. The deadline is coming. I don't have the financial ability to return them. I'm really helpless. I can't use many methods.

  • guojiduwang 蜜桃成熟 (@guojiduwang) reported

    @Steam Hello, respected customer service, I am a player who is keen on csgo. My game was mistakenly blocked. I am still a student. I really do not use cheating software, but the supervisor has banned it. All the accessories in my game cannot be traded. This is a heavy blow to me.
