  • Im_Ashwin Ashwin (@Im_Ashwin) reported

    Still facing issues on @Steam in India @SteamStatus . Reviews aren't loading, and the checkout process fails. Tried multiple payment options.

  • Michael06379669 Michael Sinclair (@Michael06379669) reported

    @Maze_Theory @Steam Think I will wait a couple of days til u fix things on ps4. From what I'm hearing

  • BiruSyailendra Biru Syailendra ☕️ (@BiruSyailendra) reported

    @VNNZ16 @Steam Same thing since 2 weeks ago 😩. I need to use vpn just to login..

  • Crypto_Shiva_ CryptoShiva (@Crypto_Shiva_) reported

    @0xgokhan @Steam I'm going to guess the reason this isn't supported is due to legal / regulatory issues. Being a US based company they would likely have to answer to the SEC - especially due to the fact that there is 0 legal clarity on how to avoid being pursued by them.

  • ThePeoplesBacon The People's Bacon (@ThePeoplesBacon) reported

    @Steam Reviews down in both app and web portal. Returns error: "There are no more reviews that match the filters set above Adjust the filters above to see other reviews" Others note issue in community. What's up?

  • BrightDreams_io BrightDreams.io (@BrightDreams_io) reported

    @NFTupdate @Steam I'm 100% sure it's due to legal and taxation issues. They are an international storefront for various countries. Considering the governments don't even know how to handle crypto yet (see Binance's regulation issues), I doubt Steam wants to get involved in that mess.

  • Crypto_Shiva_ CryptoShiva (@Crypto_Shiva_) reported

    @SpacePirate_io @Steam This likely isn't supported is due to legal / regulatory issues. Being a US based company steam would likely have to answer to the SEC - especially due to the fact that there is 0 legal clarity on how to avoid being pursued by them. I don't think steam is at fault here.

  • m1s3ry_ m1s3ry (@m1s3ry_) reported

    @nolecin871 @Steam @OnDeck Besides import taxes in my country, the biggest problem is that I just can't buy one. Steam won't allow me to. My only hope is someone imports from a reseller, but that's gonna cost me some sweet $$$$$$$

  • ____jelly3ish xuan ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ (@____jelly3ish) reported

    is anyone's steam down ? I'm trying to log into steam but they're giving me a " steam is having trouble connecting to the steam servers error " agrgrgrhrhd my rank in black survival is gonna droppp @Steam

  • sillytuna Sillytuna 🔴 🏀 ⚽ (@sillytuna) reported

    @SpacePirate_io @Steam If an app only looks at what nfts you have (via a web based account system), does not issue or sell directly and has no currency etc - that still an issue?

  • badlogicgames Mario Zechner (@badlogicgames) reported

    @runevision @Steam That's asmart solution to the VR locomotion problem. I should dust off my old Vive for this.

  • koyotemoone kOwOyte (@koyotemoone) reported

    Steam is not allowing me to accept trades currently and that makes me very annoyed. I can send them… but not receive them. Hey @steam @Steam_Support is something going on? I have friends who trade constantly with no issue but since I’ve made a few trades today, I’m sus? Help

  • Maze_Theory Maze Theory (@Maze_Theory) reported

    @Ashley20th @Steam Hi - this is a pricing error we're working to fix, sorry!

  • _Schir_ .webp enthusiast (@_Schir_) reported

    @Cobreean @SpacePirate_io @Steam hate to inform you, but it sounds like you just have a gambling problem

  • SuspectNickname Wowa (@SuspectNickname) reported

    @Steam can't even choose Germany as country of residence at support. Totally broken I guess.

  • Winterking23 Jack fensome (@Winterking23) reported

    @lanasoniquelove @Maze_Theory @Steam Theres multiple reason, basic human error, teams numbers remember no game ever releases 100% bug free. Humans make mistakes we all do. Its the what u do after the mistakes that matter

  • SamantazFox Samantaz (@SamantazFox) reported

    @Steam Alt: The screenshot in the quoted tweet shows that the following rule has been added to the Steam store guidelines, under the section "What you shouldn't publish on steam": "Applications built on blockchain technology that issue or allow exchange of cryptocurrencies or NFTs"

  • sheebsherb sherb | doin ur moim!!!!! (@sheebsherb) reported

    @koyotemoone @Steam @Steam_Support ive had an issue with sending gifts, i can make trades and recieve both but I can't send gifts in TF2 i guess there's at least one thing going wrong with Steam's servers atm

  • Joyverse Srijeet Bose (@Joyverse) reported

    @VNNZ16 @Steam so it's not just you huh? Having the same issue as well.

  • tautheory tautheory / Arkaeus (@tautheory) reported

    @VNNZ16 @Steam I get the exact same issues as well actually. I just reinstalled Steam

  • MetaverseBob MetaverseBob (@MetaverseBob) reported

    @pierskicks @Steam I will no longer spend money on Steam until they reverse their ban on blockchain games, cryptos and nfts. This issue is too important to me and I am willing to miss out on all the games coming out just to prove my point.

  • Ghost___x0 👻 Ghostx0 (@Ghost___x0) reported

    @sillytuna @SpacePirate_io @Steam Id assume but most likely still would not help.... NFT holding value is the issue so if the game only *looks up data* it should be fine as long as the NFTs are never up for sale.

  • Kozm0h 👽 Kozm0h 👾 (@Kozm0h) reported

    @Steam @VeewoGames @Team17 Hey, idiots, why ******** isn't Neon Abyss working? You try to jump down, and it simply freezes and crashes. i7-8700 GTX 1660ti 32GB ram. This is YOU, and if you don't fix it BY TONIGHT, not only do I want a refund, I'm going to come after you. :}
