Steam Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Indieanos
    Indieanos Gaming (@Indieanos) reported

    A serious issue especially for indie developers that @Steam needs to take seriously into consideration. If the player finishes the game, should he have the right to refund it? On the other hand, if this change is made and the game is short on purpose, the player is not protected.

  • AureusCrush
    AureusCrush (@AureusCrush) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Idk man feels like you could just idk, make a slightly longer/more challenging game and your issue would be resolved.

  • Psykatomique
    Psykatomique productions (@Psykatomique) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam At this point, if you sell a game that is less than 2 hour... the gamer is not the problem here... We have more and more games on steam, i would rather have half and more consistent.

  • ZehliaGaming
    Zehlia (@ZehliaGaming) reported

    @Maxim_Drw @Zoroarts @Steam "Its a ****** game, but fun" if you had fun, its not a ****** game. And if the game is ****, you cant have fun By that first sentence alone, you cant be taken serious and are part of the problem

    @PlayStation If I wanna play co-op games, I’d rather play on @Steam No need to pay for multiplayer for online co-op. And they have good customer service when it comes to digital purchases, which you DON’T Ya sure can REALLY afford to go discless? #NoDiscNoBuy

  • Reiiz6
    okay (@Reiiz6) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Idk what game you do but adding new game+ with new ending or bad ending or different ending, unlockable skin/item/achievement through multiple run can fix this problem to certain extend

  • FootLettusplay
    Foot Lettuce (@FootLettusplay) reported

    @Steam put a disc drive in the next steam machine??? I guarantee the games that make the money would have no issues releasing physical.

  • Cloy006
    Cloy (@Cloy006) reported

    @Mr_Clutchweg @Zoroarts @Steam "The problem is that people are getting pushed to try refunds like these because of some speedrunners beating difficult games in under 2 hours and refunding them." People like this wouldntve even tried the game if they didnt see speedrunners play it, there was no will to keep it

  • oopsallsolace
    MR.SOLACE (@oopsallsolace) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam There's a community behind this, where people challenge themselves to beat a game under the refund time. Make your game longer and this will not be an issue.

  • PwrPak
    PwrPak (@PwrPak) reported

    @Steam So you eliminate Nascar Heat and other Nascar base games to promote New Nascar 25 with subscription service , game doesnt allow older PC users to use keyboard, mouse !

  • nogal909
    Kamina (@nogal909) reported

    @TheWarTank_YT @Zoroarts @Steam Yeah, if they feel what they paid was too much and they're in time for a refund I'd have 0 problems, since I respect my consumers (I'm a dev btw and 0 problems with this).

  • TrveMetal1993
    Trve Metal (@TrveMetal1993) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam If the dev makes a game you can finish under 2 hours it's their problem, either add more content, remove the game from steam or live with it.

  • Macanthony13764

    @Steam Steam has gotten it back for me very goated Customer service

  • FormalgangsterK
    Formal Gangster (@FormalgangsterK) reported

    @PlayApex I can’t buy apex coins for some reason. Steam won’t authorize. You might see if there’s a fix you guys could make with @Steam @Steam_Support I just want to support a game and a couple of companies I love 🫶🏻💙

  • GKTABM
    General K (@GKTABM) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Make your game longer than 2 hours worth of content, that is the industry standard. Add more levels. Add more modes. Add more replay-ability. Add more fun modifiers. This is literally a your game is lacking problem.

  • Metal_Dazzaw
    Daz🤘 (@Metal_Dazzaw) reported

    @2K @mafiagame Fix input glyph being blank on steam deck and steam machine? For this and mafia 1 definitive, please? @Steam

  • Gim_John_Un
    steviegnote (@Gim_John_Un) reported

    @Zoroarts @Krazerack @Steam I would brag too if I finished the game in less than 2 hours for free. Maybe that’s a developer and publisher issue, but also why I stay away from steam.

  • Josephshandle
    Joseph (@Josephshandle) reported

    @Steam I was needing assistance with my steam deck, unsure how to fix an issue I am having with it.

  • galaxygash
    Apex Autist (@galaxygash) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam absolutely no problem. I'm sorry if that caused/causes you any issues, if anyone cites it or makes the claim, tag me and ill clarify I was mistaken and why.

  • SwimmingLink
    SwimmingLink (@SwimmingLink) reported

    @Steam The Steam Mobile App crashes upon pulling up the 2FA prompt making it impossible to log in. Please fix.

  • TheTeaVirus
    The Tea Virus (@TheTeaVirus) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Sorry no. Just make your game take longer than 2 hours to beat. You're not the first one with this issue but this is a great policy for consumer rights. I'll never buy a game from someone trying to change that.

  • gozfrt
    goz (@gozfrt) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Anticonsumer ****** *** dev who lies about the numbers. Steams refund policy is the best and your slop of a game wont "fix" something that isnt broken. Next time make a effort to make the game longer than 1h 30mins

  • vinnychase1764
    johnny utah (@vinnychase1764) reported

    @Steam your support sucks. You won’t refund a game that has under 4 hours of play time. You see all the reviews. It’s broken.

  • bigbrostudiosAI
    Big Bro Studios (@bigbrostudiosAI) reported

    I've had some rotten experiences with companies that have no humans in customer support! This is why I'd like to thank @Steam for their awesome customer support service, very helpful and kind!

  • GingersnapsTM
    Gingersnaps (@GingersnapsTM) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam If you put that DLC you're peddling in the base game instead it would be long enough that nullify this issue.

  • Britdissonance
    BritishDissonance (@Britdissonance) reported

    @jcrain1991 @Zoroarts @Steam The irony in calling me a simpleton when you're clearly a complete retard, good lord. Now you're making the argument that steam policy should change on one review? My whole point is either most people are refunding after beating it in under 2 hours, in which case its not worth the money, or they are refunding it for other reasons which is a non issue. Either way this dev is complaining about nothing.

  • arks_angel
    ARKS Angel (@arks_angel) reported

    @Steam is everything okay? First I was having issues downloading from the Chicago CDN, and now getting a bad gateway error when viewing my wishlist?

  • Pyr0Mander
    Pyr0mander (@Pyr0Mander) reported

    @BenderFondue @Zoroarts @Steam Also you can't even try to refund a game if you played over 2 hours, so just make the game longer. Also from what he said in the thread its only speedrunners that can play it under 2 hours, so a minority of gamers. Seems like a non issue to me

  • NTsuki_Tia
    N'Tsuki Tia (@NTsuki_Tia) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam People will at times be trying to play, have some trouble and be trying to debug it, or just trying to play to see if they like or not, and run go 2 hours before they decide, or confirm if will not work really (specially games that need patching and so so).
