    @Steam that's it now with the updates for the steam mobile app? Too bad because there are still many bugs to fix and also the integration of the chat. Please do what the community says for once. For this we would all thank you.

  • Animus_Diagolon Animus of Diagolon \\\ (@Animus_Diagolon) reported

    Your service scams people. I don’t appreciate buying games and losing them because your service magically removes them from my library. I have the invoices to prove it. @bethesda @BethesdaSupport @Steam #Technocracy

  • HatoTheCollie Hato The Collie (@HatoTheCollie) reported

    @Steam If you are going to purchase it, there IS a mod set which forces the game off of EA's servers and onto Fan run and made servers According to Youtube stuff I saw, the mod DOES work and HASN'T been removed, I have not used it myself however! The fan run servers fix everything

  • GeekTard101 Dhruv Saxena - One Man's Struggle To Take It Easy (@GeekTard101) reported

    For an app that's making millions happy, @Steam really needs to fix their mobile app as well. It's really glitchy and buggy and sometimes i just wanna lay back and check my progress on games on mobile or browse through some upcoming games or sales.

  • Exude95 Exud3 (@Exude95) reported

    @tweezyCS @CSGO @Steam pls fix

  • oligardner Oli Gardner 🇺🇦 (@oligardner) reported

    @TwinSailsInt @Steam Any sense of a timeline for the fix? Days, months?

  • GazociaG RoMaN S (@GazociaG) reported

    @AndreaDProjects @Steam Just had a look via the desktop app and web browser [sorry - wasn't able to earlier, was away for a few days] - the DLC section clearly states '11'. Seems the Tales from the Epilogue MIA issue is mobile app exclusive.

  • bedford_harley Harley Bedford (@bedford_harley) reported

    Whatever brain box at steam decided the process for solving the issue of not receiving recovery code emails would involve sending you a recovery code email to you deserves a raise @Steam please help, West brom wont get themselves promoted

  • ShinyTBT Shiny (@ShinyTBT) reported

    I beg @Steam or @DeadByBHVR (i dunno who needs to fix this) adds the PS5 buttons lay out or at least make that it can be reconized as a ps4 controller. If you connect a ps4 controller you get the ps4 controlls on your screen. My dyslexic *** gets anxiety when i see X for DH😭😭

  • AlatarielMurtag Erin Wentz (@AlatarielMurtag) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support HELP you have no way to contact if your issue isn't one of the fixed ticket able items. I need HELP and im not getting it #help #poorcustomerservice I was not expecting this awful of treatment from your company!

    @Steam It looks like login isn't working?

  • EdwardTI32 Ed (@EdwardTI32) reported

    Something is up with #Steam authentication servers. Can still get on my desktop, but was booted on my Deck. I can't get past the login on the Deck now. @valvesoftware @OnDeck @Steam

  • HatoTheCollie Hato The Collie (@HatoTheCollie) reported

    @Steam Also **** EA and every broken game they post, most of them should be De-listed until the company fixes them and delivers what customers paid for

  • OldManFifa The Night Packer (@OldManFifa) reported

    Hey @steam why are you still selling @GTAV Online . The game has dangerous security issues and it is not recommended to play on PC .

  • bagehi Bagehi (@bagehi) reported

    @Steam How is it decided that a game needs an age verification to view it? I did my discovery queue and was age gated for a bunch of AAA games, then had a porn-adjacent game that didn't require an age verification. It was hilarious to me, but that seems broken.

  • marvgoathero Marvthegreatest 2.0™ (@marvgoathero) reported

    @Steam Why is my Fifa 23 not syncing to @NVIDIAGeForce It does not even recognise that I own the game? please kindly fix this.
