  • Roman_pennt Roman Falcony (@Roman_pennt) reported

    @SowardTodd @Steam seems like a you problem

  • fweddyshow FweddyShow (@fweddyshow) reported

    I was lucky enough to get the index controllers for Christmas, however the right one almost immediately stopped tracking. @Steam 's support might be the worst customer service I have ever had to work with. I am on day 4 of jumping through hoops to use the warranty to RMA

  • cbelor89 Christopher Belor (@cbelor89) reported

    @Steam the login screen no longer shows the QR code to login as an option. Where did it go? #pc #app not working.

  • Trace72467320 carrrrrr! (@Trace72467320) reported

    @fweddyshow @Steam It's a blind bag with steam support. You either get a helpful fella who fixes your problem, or a guy whos first suggestion is to smash your skull with a brick and see if it works after that.

  • YemesRomina Romina Yemes (@YemesRomina) reported

    @Steam please fix your security issues. I am still waiting for a valid response for the security issue identified in your platform.

  • LostSouL242 Losty (@LostSouL242) reported

    @The_Ty_Rant @Steam It never was broken on PC , lmao .

  • struggler45 Antonio Piscitelli (@struggler45) reported

    @SuperPaulineGay @Steam How many mental problems do you have?

  • DarknessDev_ DarknessDev (@DarknessDev_) reported

    @Steam fix tf2 #savetf2

  • JMotion0 Jarryd 🐨 (@JMotion0) reported

    @TailsChannel @Steam My only issue with this one is the fact that the game isn't from 2022. The port release is, technically. But the port is 1:1 just the 2020 PS4 game. But, that aside, FF7R has a way better soundtrack than Frontiers and it's not even close.

  • Jogorku Jogorku (@Jogorku) reported

    @Zaskuash_Show @Steam that ram speed is INSANELY slow even for old DDR3, idk how much that matters but it is literally the only issue i can see with specs make sure your using your graphics card in game and not the integrated one (i assume you are) and wtf is that monitor

  • it_can_be_blank it can be blank (@it_can_be_blank) reported

    @Steam Any willpower to fix the Samsung Tizen Steam Link App or you don't give a sh*t? Button Mapping is broken since a month. Seems a pathetic expense to fix and still nobody seems to care... wtf @Steam.

  • Antin0s Marc Antinossi (@Antin0s) reported

    Anybody have any luck getting @Steam Link app to work on their TVs? Successfully installed the app on our Sony X75K, paired with my desktop, and got the controller working.. Whenever I click "Play Games" the app seems to crash when it tries to display my library.

  • brandon20682289 brandon Abbott (@brandon20682289) reported

    @Steam is the new account bot verification not working correctly? wont let me create my account.

  • tabous2 Denis (@tabous2) reported

    @Steam Still no words on the scammers you let in on your Source game platforms since 3+ years? Any reason why you are determined not to lift a finger to fix this?

  • xD2x_ ... (@xD2x_) reported

    @_secretcode @SSeloLacerda @Steam No it isn't. It's a mediocre game that isn't anything close to being what CDPR hyped it up to be. Fixing a completely broken game isn't a "labour of love". It's the bare minimum a developer should do for paying customers.

  • black_gis Richard Schoerghofer 🍁 (@black_gis) reported

    So its official steam is the worst UI and UX of 2023 @Steam - in geforce now you can not simply login on scanning the qr code (it redirected to mobile app, but still..) on a mac - wth its 2023 and still like a ui from the hell @NVIDIAGFN @NVIDIAGeForceDE

  • XLotodo Xpress loTodo (@XLotodo) reported

    @UndeadDomain @Steam And they have fixed all or most the issues? Any problems with that?

  • CoreyZek CoreyZek (@CoreyZek) reported

    @Steam help! Someone keeps trying to hack my account, 3 messages in the last 15 minutes with 3 different login codes. My monitor is broken. I'm already logged in, what's happening?

  • ReunTeun Teun (@ReunTeun) reported

    @Steam Stray and cyberpunk are so funny here. Feels like a popularity contest, being a cat isn't the gameplay but pressing 1 button to jump predetermined paths is. We also shouldn't praise cyberpunk for fixing an incredibly broken game when games shouldn't be this broken on release

  • DCS9658 DCS (@DCS9658) reported

    @BippinBits @Steam If Dome keeper got it I would not have an issue either.

  • TraderKingdom KingdomTrader (@TraderKingdom) reported

    @Steam Can you fix or change that freaking captcha thing in your website. Havent been able to create account. Tried 4 different PCs, windows and linux. And always same thing with that captcha!

  • Zaskuash_Show Zaskuash🇺🇦 (@Zaskuash_Show) reported

    @rocket_rickety @Jogorku @Steam They are about 8 years old if I remember correctly, but the point is; it runs on everything ultra high the same as low. Runs smoothly and then from time to time a couples hiccups then fine again. And I was able to run SF6 beta on high expects (not ultra) without any issues.

  • ExiledMythos ExiledMythos (@ExiledMythos) reported

    @Steam So the game that released in a completely broken state and lacks a large amount of the content that it was hyped up to have won Labor of Love cause it was made to be playable? I really dont understand yall, was Edgerunner that damn good lmao?

  • Jay_Travers11 Jay Travers (@Jay_Travers11) reported

    @Steam How can it be a labour of love if it’s built on the lying and selling of an incomplete product? Enjoying the finished product is totally fine, sure! But patching and fixing a broken game to the originally intended playable state shouldn’t be commended imo. Feels like complacency

  • davicho88 David Figueroa (@davicho88) reported

    @Steam can’t create my account with you! Send a captcha error. Can you help me please.

  • FastyPace FastyPace (@FastyPace) reported

    @OnDeck @Steam hey I hope you guys can help me since I was rejected by steam support. I was asking for a new fan for my steam deck and support wanted me to send in my deck, even though I said I just need a replacement fan, because I can fix the issue on my own. Fan sounds /1

  • TheSymbolman Symbolman (@TheSymbolman) reported

    @Steam Gamers literally do not understand the Labor of Love award. At this point just release games 1 year early and fix bugs in the time it would've been normally released you get the love of steam users apparently. Also stray is a joke.

  • CyberKevin_FR CybKev (@CyberKevin_FR) reported

    @GTsvetkovski @Steam ................ that doesn't change the problem.... If we release Golden Eye on Steam today, we can compare it to 2023 games? That's the problem... With that, we don't know what steam users will vote for real 2022 games

  • KaBar4100 KaBar41 (@KaBar4100) reported

    @Steam Hey, Steam, any idea what is going on? Every time I try to purchase a game, it says: "Please wait, verifying login information." And then after a few seconds, it says: "Error There was an error communicating with the Steam servers. Please try again later."

  • PUPPYBIGGUNZ VICTOR NEGRON JR. (@PUPPYBIGGUNZ) reported

    @bobatea3TV @Steam My account was hacked days ago and the help team could not help on the issue, but i was referred to Cyber_recovery12 who help me to recover my account immediately
