  • amuridee amuridee (@amuridee) reported

    Hello @Steam @valvesoftware due to changes in our country that require every electronic service provider to re-register, please register your game on PSE @kemkominfo or all of your game will be blocked by our government. It will be doom for our local community if we cannot play.

  • Islem447 Islem (@Islem447) reported

    @biifolio @Steam Need help?They'll not help you on this channel, I've been scammed from here twice,@jayscyber on Instagram was the person that finally help me out, Since then I let him handle all Hacking issues for me.

  • biifolio bianca 🎀 @ commissions open! (@biifolio) reported

    @Steam I can't login into my account anymore since yesterday because I'm not receiving the verification code on my email. I've already contacted the support but I got no response since yesterday as well. I tried to open a new support request but it failed. Please help!

  • realVicTorres02 Victor Torres 🇵🇭🌍🇺🇦 (@realVicTorres02) reported

    @mdawanawaadieli @Steam @SCSsoftware This can help you: Right click on game -> select properties -> goto local files tab -> press verify game files. Most people usualy encounter these errors is that they don't check their game files which could be possibly be corrupted after an update. Hope this works. 👍

  • geoffrey_mcrae Geoffrey McRae (@geoffrey_mcrae) reported

    @Steam can you please make it policy that publishers that are banning Virtual Machine users from playing their games must make it known that the title is "Anti-VM" before purchase? The Linux VFIO/VM community is growing and this is becoming a major issue.

  • alemsrose alember martin (@alemsrose) reported

    @CSGO and @Steam fix your fking matchmaking, how is posible, glolbal elites playing with novas ?

  • edwardlui Edward Lui (@edwardlui) reported

    @Steam I have an issue trying to buy the Steam Deck, its stuck on processing payment but I can’t change payment type neither. Is there a good chance I’ll lose my position in the queue? I was given 2 days to buy of which this has just lapsed when doing so.

  • GehennaRose Ivy rose Gehenna (@GehennaRose) reported

    @Oscar23526518 @Steam I suggest you reach out to @Martin_Sol_tech on twitter for recovery of any issue on your account, hacked, banned or any issue ✅

  • SteveRamsay SteveRamsay (@SteveRamsay) reported

    @Steam I love you...but why do you make it so hard for me to give you money?! Recently have had repeated issues with payments failing when I buy games through my steam deck or the android steam app.

  • Darkstorm495 Zane/Z (@Darkstorm495) reported

  • RioArtWorks The Ultimate Rio (@RioArtWorks) reported

    @October_Tiger @Steam Wow that sucks, was thinking of getting one but maybe not while they have these issues

  • VitalResistanc1 vrg (@VitalResistanc1) reported

    @Steam I can't use my PS5 controller on Steam anymore. I know other people who recently also had the same issue. It works for everything else but steam.

  • skekletor Skekletor (@skekletor) reported

    @loprov @Steam They hid recent reviews and are trying to say the player drop is from Service Provide Outages for users

  • CaptainSisqo A Collection of Cat Scratches | Be Compassionate (@CaptainSisqo) reported

    @oscarwp @Steam If Epic keeps giving games away, it's going to be bigger than my steam library. @Steam has a large management issue and you're right, the fact that no one else has taken advantage of this with a clear vision is nothing short of absolute failure. People love status quos.

  • baasbase Base (@baasbase) reported

    I wish @steam had better (or any) tags for viewer simulation games. Currently my (free) game, that allows a #twitch #streamer to play a simulation game with their chat, is categorized as being similar to titles like "Core keeper" and "Stardew valley"... #indiedev problems I guess

  • aviraccoon Avi 🦝 (@aviraccoon) reported

    @phys_ballsocket @Steam That's not the issue, I just don't like spam like this

  • shumanator_121 Michael Shuman (@shumanator_121) reported

    @TheCrewGame @Steam. Can u get a refund. This game crashes anytime you try and bind a button or pedals to it. I'm technically out of the refund range but Jr's clear this isn't something they aren't going to fix.

  • CynicPlacebo Rob Bates (@CynicPlacebo) reported

    @Apogee_Ent I replayed Max Payne last year. It holds up! Now if @Steam would just fix it so I don't have to run a random patch from the internet in order to get audio. Good thing I have my orig Xbox copy as well.

  • TrueShawnBW Casual Gamer (@TrueShawnBW) reported

    Thank you, @valvesoftware @Steam, for righting the wrong. Now, I just hope you take my suggestions and figure out a way to implement them, because though my refund was just a few dollars, it still revealed a problem in the system I believe can be fixed.

  • DreamyNoteRoyal DreamNotePrincess (@DreamyNoteRoyal) reported

    I’m gonna try and sleep. I’m so stressed out and depressed over this. I feel like some dumb idiot! @Steam is there is a way for you to fix this let me know! Thank you

  • heyykaty_ Katy (@heyykaty_) reported

    @RachFromTheCave There are other people with the same issue but nothing is being done. At least not outwardly. I tried to return it but @Steam wouldn't let me because of the hours played. I've only played so many hours trying to get it working.

  • NintenbronyThe Gamebits The Unicorn (@NintenbronyThe) reported

    @SummerLaverdure @Steam @SEGA And they don't think to fix it,cause otherwise I'm demanding a refund,Steam gives me an option
