    @Steam I hate you guys. A simple password reset led to me dealing with 30 mins of fiddling with codes and emails and after password was reset then you proceed to lock me out for too many fail login attempts. Like wtf?

    Trying to contact @Steam for help with a stolen account, then being asked to login to that account to contact them ranks as one of the more frustrating things I’ve dealt with recently.

    @Steam has no problem showing explicit adult content in their store with no warnings given, but you must provide a birthdate every time to view "violent" video games that "MAY CONTAIN CONTENT NOT APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES, OR MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR VIEWING AT WORK." ???

    @Steam They need to fix it so that you can resume your mid flight and have your tool bar actuslly work in game after doing so. I love this game but refuse to buy it since this glitch ruins long flights.

    Really disappointed in @Steam 😞 I bought and downloaded the first Broken Sword last month. Went to play it yesterday and it doesn't work. Physically won't play. They won't give me refund 😱

    @Steam Your captcha is the most frustrating thing I have ever encountered. Trying to login and having to go ten rounds of finding a bus, bicycle, cars, motorcycle, traffic light… just ridiculous!

    Nick (@nicci_muto) reported

    @Steam fix your captcha on your site and windows app. Everytime I try to sign in/forgot your password it keeps telling me the captcha failed. Not even allowing me to search the account. Now it's exceeded the login attempts.

    @XboxSupport Why is it Xbox never utilises my full internet, Wether it be on the xbox app on pc or on console you only use a fraction of the download speed i have as a result games download 10x slower than if i used another service like @Steam

    @zilchfox @Steam They'd probably have to solve the heat/cooling issues before that, unless they want to market it as a head cooker.

    @Steam So I cant even complet the ******* CAPTCHA to log in to your service anymore... Your response to the CAPTCHA appears to be invalid. Please re-verify that you're not a robot below. (Reference ID: 4532330349662826684)

    nearly a year of fighting @Steam over a refund. I'm shot of their **** - forwarding it to fair trading. My latest response follows after being told from week 2 there's no issues with a game that haemorrhaged 90% of the playerbase in said 2 weeks. It continues to not function.
