    @IndieGamerChick @Steam It went through on the third attempt. I guess their error messages got caught up...

    @Steam I tried to purchase a game on my steam wishlist that was on sale. Everything was fine. Transaction failed: address is too long split it into 2 parts. I did. Same error. Is there a way around this? Is it really a security error where you think I am a hacker? What to do?

    Someone tried to log into my @Steam account today with the correct email & correct password. Which is pretty impressive, because I don't even know the password for it. And of course their website gives me errors now when trying to change the password.

    @uhmaayyze The biggest problem with @Steam is the name changing of this magnitude with no consequences.

    @Steam trying to delete an account I've not used for 10 years. Keep on getting login notifications via email. I can't login as no idea what my password is and can't get through to you any other way. Tried lost password, not helping. Can you DM me please.

    Dang, not @Steam getting an error when I try to refund Vamp Survivors. That game is so slow and stupid. I played it less than 40 minutes

    @Steam Almost two months ago I bought FIFA23 and it still hasn't been able to get me to open it, I claimed the refund and they don't want to return it to me, someone solve this problem for me.

    @OddworldInc @Steam Will you ever fix the bug when you jump against a thin wall/ door and Abe/Munch do this "do doi oing" sound while enter the menu save/reload, you land behind the wall? With this trick I went down to the Glukkons and slapped every single one of them in the Vykker labs!

  • Moonshoes472

    @Steam and when he presses 7 for his Steam Account issues it just says "Sorry but Steam has no products available for phone" and he is now locked out of his accounts he's had for years please fix your customer service system and help my friend with his locked account. this is absurd

    @Steam So let me get this straight, I can but 50 games at a time, all at once. But, if I but five games over the course of three hours one at time I get a "F--k you, you've tried to buy too many games too many times error"? Ya?

    @Steam Steam you sign me out of my account then ask me to be signed in to receive a code. I try to get the code somewhere else and you say I can only change credentials not sign in with the code. Wtf do you want? I guess I’ll wait another 15 days.

    @Steam I'm having some pretty worrying issues connecting to my steam account, do you mind if I could maybe speak to you in dms about it?

    @DavrimTV @Steam And while that is nice to know they would honor the deal for their policy steam has their policy and are keeping to it. They have always helped me out with any issues I've had hell they refunded a game I had 19 hours in because I had issues. This is not an issue

  • DavrimTV
    Davrim (@DavrimTV) reported

    @ghostboy20 @Steam Ok so I talked to my VP of Customer service. I called 2 other directors of Customer Service in 2 other retail chains & posed this situation to them All 3 agreed that any retailer who cares about their customer & values loyalty would refund without question.

    @Iamlucky87 @Steam Aren't all the game companies suffering? Like haven't there been issues since the last console releases? We're the number and quality if games going down too? Like the last what...3 or 4 years? I wouldn't compare gaming to vhs tapes. It just feels like gaming is temporary.

    The Dude (@djstan627) reported

    @Halo @Steam can't wait for another 40gb update to fix all the stuff the last one broke: melee, constant clipping & jittering of movables (dog tags, crates, bodies, etc), crashes at least once per game session...

    @tavotabotato @AmongUsGame @Steam A friend of mine plays on Linux through Steam without problem. I don't think he had to do anything special to get it working except perhaps choosing the right engine.
