  • DeeLovelyone79 Stacey Abrams Stan (@DeeLovelyone79) reported

    @Steam is just as culpable in this fraudulent behavior by not allowing customers a way to talk to a human being to resolve these types of issues.

  • AaronSpagnut aaron spagnut (@AaronSpagnut) reported

    @Steam cant chat with friends, fix your ******* app steam.

  • Saphnir Saphnir🐉 (@Saphnir) reported

    @Steam umm @Steam_Support .. I'm tired of putting in refund requests for a game that is messed up from your client, just to get denied .. I had the game open for 4 hrs trying to fix the lag / instability thinking it was my PC but it was just your client that makes the game unstable.

  • kingdno_ THEY CALL ME DNO 😎 (@kingdno_) reported

    @Steam Please explains why I have 1Gb internet but my downloads are at 0 this is the only client that does that and no the troubleshooting is not working

  • charkie__ Charlie (@charkie__) reported

    @WARD3Y_ @PlayApex I don’t think that’s an EA/respawn issue I think that’s an @Steam issue Cus you can literally have whatever you want on steam

  • Saphnir Saphnir🐉 (@Saphnir) reported

    Hey umm @Steam .. maybe you should stop doing a 2 hour max time on refund requests for games .. I spent 4 hrs trying to fix lag issues thinking it was my PC when in fact it was just your ****** client / launcher messing up the game .. 👏🏻😐

  • JOYNFINITY KING CRAZY!!! 💖💜💙🎮 (@JOYNFINITY) reported

    I'm trying to buy @SeasonTheGame on @Steam and it's not working...is anyone else having an issue?? Even @PayPal isn't working 😭

  • D0c_Dev D0c_Dev : RUSP Developer (@D0c_Dev) reported

    I just started adding my game to @Steam, and i just have no idea what im doing, i think i managed to implement a simple lobby system but i can't even send a build for my friend to test the multiplayer as steam gives him an error

  • UberTroy Private Troy (@UberTroy) reported

    @WR_Central @Steam Im not sure what steam guard is off hand. I reset the password following the instructions, and when i try to sign in it tells me my password is wrong.

  • oosoldado7 OoSoldado7oO (@oosoldado7) reported

    @Steam How can I get my account back if you don’t have a way to do so? I got hacked and I can’t even login to from my email. The hacker changed everything. Lucky I have all the evidence, credit card, game bought info. Please help

  • DeeLovelyone79 Stacey Abrams Stan (@DeeLovelyone79) reported

    After trying to get @SquareEnix to fix their crappy game #Forspoken @Steam will not issue a refund because I have 3.5 hours of “playtime” which is actually 1 hour of playtime 2.5 hours of the game freezing and crashing.

  • WR_Central That Dude from Canada (@WR_Central) reported

    @UberTroy @Steam What is the problem? Does he have Steam guard?

  • angeljgphilly Angel (@angeljgphilly) reported

    @Steam I have been waiting for someone to get back to me for 18 hours in regard to an issue with my account and I have yet to hear back from anyone. I think it’s very ridicules that your company offers no call center and no live chat. Very frustrating

  • Srenn018 Stephen Renn (@Srenn018) reported

    @Steam what's up with the friends list? I woke up to a guide I made in 2018 that exploded while I was asleep, friends list issue, I don't seem to have it yet.

  • Dat_Grep Dat_Grep (@Dat_Grep) reported

    @Steam friends list and any friends list related items (chat windows and notifications) all appearing as empty black boxes. Anyone know how to fix this?

  • Bonifeee Logan B (@Bonifeee) reported

    @DrSmellZone @steam fix this sheeeet

  • The_Dandalf Dandalf (@The_Dandalf) reported

    @Cynomy_YouTube @Steam Oh, huh. Would this prevent someone from doing a password reset /sign into their account? Because I'm having issues in that area lol

  • AshBleakley Ash Bleakley (@AshBleakley) reported

    @Steam I’ve tried to buy dying light 2 and it’s taken my money but not given me the game it said that was an error and I clicked stop purchase do I need to wait for my money or has it bugged and just taken it and if so may you give it back please

  • eurytosbow Dani Kandi (@eurytosbow) reported

    @Steam I'd rather make purchases from Epic Games. They don't steal from children's Wallet accounts and have "customer service" get hostile with parents or guardians who want their stolen money back. For you guys, theft is apparently the only way to break even.

  • UberTroy Private Troy (@UberTroy) reported

    @WR_Central @Steam I know he doesn’t have steam on his phone, I have access to his email, i got the confirmation codes an everything. Changing the password supposedly worked until I needed the password to sign in. Im going to try again tomorrow.

  • emwollofollowme 🌹EMWOLLOFOLLOWME🌹 (@emwollofollowme) reported

  • TheBilly517 Billy517 🥶 (@TheBilly517) reported
