  • rainman26 Brian McCoy (@rainman26) reported

    @Steam new to the service. Downloaded it on my Mac but all the games are saying windows and not Mac for compatibility. Are games able to be able to play on Mac?

  • RehabDave David (@RehabDave) reported

    @Respawn can't seem to login via @Steam ...something wonky?

  • _VenomXNL_ VenomXNL (@_VenomXNL_) reported

    @bethesda @Steam Or even better: Back to the 'old days' where you just login to the game/service from within the game. No matter if you purchased it on disk, webkey, via steam or where ever. But for the love of god please all stop making your own damn launchers

  • ErikTheRedDevil Erik(a) (@ErikTheRedDevil) reported

    @SteamStatus @Steam Fix up

  • javii_zapata Javier Zapata Jr (@javii_zapata) reported

    @Steam Yeaa fix itt cause its nott!

  • iRdMoose Scott Sanstad (blarg/blarg) (@iRdMoose) reported

    @SidAlpha I think the bigger question is... will @CDPROJEKTRED finish and fix Cyberpunk before it's $5 or $10 on a @Steam sale, or will the sale happen first?

  • SneakyIrshmn SneakyIrishman (@SneakyIrshmn) reported

    @Steam Steam keeps telling me and my friends it doesn’t have a connection to servers. Downdetector reporting multiple people also having problems. What’s up?

  • iGimpii Gimpii (@iGimpii) reported

    why in the ever loving **** in 2022 do i have massive ******* issues with controllers working on steam games. its ******* 2022 fix your ******* garbage. every other platform i play games has literally 0 issues with controllers. fix your trash @Steam @Steam_Support

  • alphakillzBU AlphaKillz (@alphakillzBU) reported

    @Steam Its time to reconsider the Refund policy, especially for games that refuse are broken and have the lowest rating on the site

  • Anttonkneeah Uncommon Error Girl (@Anttonkneeah) reported

    Do you ever have a problem getting in your @steam account and they ask you for money to prove your identity?

  • _Futur3bound J エデン (@_Futur3bound) reported

    FIX YOUR ******* SERVERS @DOTA2 @STEAM @valvesoftware

  • PabloDAndreu Pablo Andreu (@PabloDAndreu) reported

    Have any @Steam users had trouble with the @RockstarGames launcher? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • JosieWoahsie °• J O S I E •° (@JosieWoahsie) reported

    @Bigdale95 @DeadByBHVR @Steam DBD is a joke when it comes to reporting people who ruin the game. The game is great but they work harder at pushing content you have to pay for rather than working on fixing issues that have driven the community away.

  • WeSkeem We Skeem (@WeSkeem) reported

    Yo, @Steam fix your crap. It's not like you didn't know what time this was coming. WWIII about to start and I need a new world to escape to. Gimme my Elden Ring.

  • NathanielKunze Nathaniel Kunze (@NathanielKunze) reported

    @BungieHelp hello my game on @Steam keeps crashing repeatedly once it hits the menu music and keeps doing it. How do I fix this? I cannot get on. I’m close to getting a refund and uninstalling for this poor experience.

  • kaiusername Kai (@kaiusername) reported

    @WizardofTruth_ @Steam All the content in Witch Queen is brand new and developed in the last year and a bit. Nothing has been cut. Cant believe manchildren are still believing that issue from 7 years ago. 💀

  • PabloDAndreu Pablo Andreu (@PabloDAndreu) reported

    The latest solution from @RockstarSupport did NOT work. I officially give up on L.A. Noire. I'm currently downloading GTA V to see if it's a problem with the launcher. If it is, I'll NEVER again buy a Rockstar game via @Steam

  • Misty_Lake Misty Lake | Photographer (@Misty_Lake) reported

    @Steam why do my friend have an issue with seeing each other online when playing Apex? We both use Steam to play. How can we resolve this?

  • LordMalithion Malithion (@LordMalithion) reported

    @Steam so why is it that uninstalling/reinstalling Steam deletes ALL game screenshots? I had no warning this would happen and it's insane that this is what occurs. Steam broke with no obvious fix so I reinstalled it and now years of data is gone.

  • Pheoin Curtis (@Pheoin) reported

    @Steam For those who can’t get in, restart the steam application and try again. That seemed to fix it.
