hakase (@hakasemini) reported@AdamService @Zoroarts @Steam when i saw your post and thought about the social contract, i was immediately like i bet this guy whines about immigrants (which is a made up problem about the social contract), and lo and behold it took two seconds to prove that theory right
-
TextualFalls (@FallsTextual) reported@LPNintendoITA @Pirat_Nation @Steam They did for their Launcher. Problem is the game uses a third party launcher and Account so Ea Can do it.

smmfhbaldytrips (@UDontLikeSupes) reported@CallofDutyWire @ETGEACOLLEGE Dis you pre ordered it? Because that seems to be the issue. @Steam wouldn't refund me because they said I've played the game for 2 hours lmao

Chris (@burnzilla67) reported@Steam can’t get in to my account, can’t play a game I own because of this and can’t buy a disc to play the game without needing to login to this stupid unnecessary platform
-
ReaperX7 (@reaperx7gaming) reported@LundukeJournal @Steam wayland is broken trashware. Nobody wants broken trashware. X11 or ****.
-
SUPER SAM (@FlippantNomad) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Seems like the ez fix would be making more than 2 hrs of content. Certainly easier than having valve waive consumer rights to accommodate your 30 minutes of gameplay
-
Panzerkirby (@PanzerKirby) reported@Indulgence82 @Zoroarts @Steam "skill issue" replies the retard that think the policy is worth something. Just Say You are a pos and go on
-
𐦂 (@magadstroyer666) reported@ToanChan_ @Steam Just get a credit card and don’t use it you ******* retard stop making a problem out of nothing
-
✨ kadey 💋 (@kadey180_x) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Dev issue if there is 0 replayability and such a short amount of gameplay.
-
Unsacred (@Unsacredx77) reported@CrimsonDesert_ @Steam So I'm not sure but maybe the developers can look into what's causing the issue with the lighting and scaling. Running a 5070 RTX 32 GB of RAM and still having issues with running the game in DLSS and DLAA on Max settings above cinematic if possible. The lighting and scaling look blotchy and pixelated but this is something that didn't happen when the game had come out. The only way that I can get the game to look good is to disable all upscaling which includes the two that I've mentioned above.
-
Chauncey (@chauncey_NYC) reported@studiozaum @Steam Any idea if this will address some of the other sound/voiceover issues? I’ve encountered issues with both the guy at the top of the pylon and the music seller guy in the bazaar, halfway through a conversation the dialogue voice over will just stop playing.
-
LatticeSev 🏴 🇬🇧 ✝️ (@LatticeSev) reported@Steam What are you doing??? You allow soo many early access that many games become just scams! What is with this release a game and fix it later, the game industry is a disgrace!
-
Fyro - TheFrozenBox (@FrozenBox) reportedThis is disgusting. If you complete a game, your entitlement for a refund is void. Just like eating at a restaurant. You consume, you don't get a refund. @Steam should fix this.
-
RememberToHope (@RememberToHope) reportedWill the MORONS at @Steam fix Dead Island 2? It's missing the "anti easy cheat" install files after the update, so it can't launch anymore if people uninstall then reinstall it. Your staff are abolute derps. This has been a persisting issue for months (since the last update).
-
Neckzilla (@Zee_Naught) reported@Zoroarts @Steam HAHAHA i did this with this one game tacoma... I was really into it, bought it, played it, beat it. then was extremely disappointed by it... Like it was a bait and switch. tbf i never followed the game much (maybe my own issue) but if i dont like a product i want my money back!
-
Keiji D Ezio (@EzioKeiji) reported@obakepam @Steam Indie devs can't afford to hire hundreds of people in multiple studios around the world like UbiSlop or CrapCom. Who cares if the background bushes and trees in a game are AI generated. Truly 1st world problems.
-
Odd Job for President (@MarkS26th) reported@Steam Can't sign in, changed password again, can't sign in, changed password again. Don't recognize my email address that you've had for years, missing download for Rome Total War, Steam support is ****, Steam website is ****. Don't respond to requests for support. Steam is ****

The Homersexual (@The_Homersexual) reported@Steam I can't login to my account and it's not sending me an email to reset my password can you help me.

Josiah Young (@Inv3ntive15) reportedI’ve struggle bussed with all kinds of support from companies in this last year. Incompetent support, slow support, non-existent support… Had an issue with my Steam Deck and @Steam solved it in about two hours. If the world gotta get run by big corps, I’d choose Steam.
-
🐺GunBunny🐺 (@gunbunny15) reportedI like Linux, and am moving to it slowly but @Steam and @Blackmagic_News needs to fix their Linux versions to run seamlessly and add the Code needed to fully use their software.
-
Brenten Smith (@Brenten007) reported@EGOSOFT @Steam @GOGcom Another problem is that one bad mod for a old ship scadia just crashes the game. This is so annoying!!! I love that ship.
-
Daniel Ericksen (@Erickdanielson9) reported@Steam @Steam_Support I need help, I can't sign into steam support to enter a ticket because I'm encountering a log in error. I attempted to change my password but have no gone over the attempts. Every PW change kicked me out to an error. Can't find any other way to contact
-
Kryyative (@KryyssX) reported@Zoroarts @Steam This to me says that it isn't a problem with the refund policy, but rather a price-tag that is perceived as too high for value of the product. The game is $4 for a little over an hour of entertainment. There'd be fewer refunds if it were $1 or less.
-
Bro2Cool (@bro2c00l) reported@harrisuryana @Steam @Ubisoft So here is the solution. Do not run the launcher as an administrator. Close the app. Download cloudflare warp. Select traffic and dns and connect. Reopen the launcher on pc and login. After successfully logging in go to account management, other-

Netleaf 🇺🇸 (@netleaf2) reported@Steam Will you please fix the damn steam client? I just had to redownload a 100GB game because I couldn't move it due to a 'content lock file' error. That is total nonsense, total bullshit. If I had moved the files manually it would have worked fine. But I'd rather cost you money.
-
Olex (Solo gamedev Diablo-like) (@OlexGameDev) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I see no issues.
-
Lucas NC (@Nc61706525Nc) reported@Steam, why does this error occur? Error There was a problem trying to follow this Steam Curator. Possible reasons: You cannot follow a curator that you are already ignoring. You can only follow up to 100 curators at the same time. Limited accounts cannot follow a curator. OK

Vesper+ Expansion🎈 (@deepvesperplus) reportedLets be real here @valvesoftware has no ***** in this @Steam should be treating the Steam Deck as a loss leader. You're not beholden to investors every quarter. You can afford to eat some margin and make hardware that actually moves the market. Where's the $299 Steam Deck? Where's the $499 Steam Machine? You really think people wouldn't jump on that in a heartbeat? Gaming hardware prices are so messed up right now that Valve could practically own the budget market if it had the nerve to try. @valvesoftware fix it.
