  • TangentFoxy Tangent 🦊 (@TangentFoxy) reported

    Honestly, my biggest problem w @Steam is I can't download from the Workshop without 1) owning the game ON Steam 2) installing it 3) subscribing to the item 4) finding wherever ******** it downloaded...whenever it decides to download, because it isn't immediate or consistent.

  • x_Slothy_x Sl🦥th (@x_Slothy_x) reported

    First time I’ve had an issue with @Steam and I’m pretty upset with the outcome and how they pointed fingers at another company rather than sitting down and hearing out the issue I’m having. Dope👍🏼👍🏼

    @Steam I opened a ticket a month ago and a separate one two weeks ago and my issue has not been resolved after I provided the information asked of me. Can anyone help me?

  • jemimaswitnes Pankcake Shiller (@jemimaswitnes) reported

    @Steam why am I not refunded for bf2042 when others are? I have 110 minutes on it all of which were me trying to fix it crashing. Wanna know the kicker? It was so unplayable I haven't touched it since pre release because I bought gold edition. #Battlefield2042 #refund #ScamAlert

  • Chrimson48 JustPainChris (@Chrimson48) reported

    Is it just me, or is @Steam constantly having issues anymore? Download freeze everything up. Steam crashes if idle for too long and I have to reboot the computer to get it to work. Reinstalled, cleared download cache, cleaned disk... nothing works @Steam_Support

  • DJKaleidomx DJ Kaleido (@DJKaleidomx) reported

    @Steam hey already changed my password three times on your website but can't login from the app. Not accepted. Any support channel?

  • robertomasymas Roberto Tomás C (@robertomasymas) reported

    @Steam I added a link in a comment in the workshop sugg’d an alternate 4 someone looking for 1. My comment was removed.. I don’t know if b/c link (which is also a workshop page, so that’s overkill) but the fact that *no indication given* that I was being censored is a problem.

  • Killerwolf06ho1 All in Win (@Killerwolf06ho1) reported

    @Steam Think twice..... @Steam has horrible customer service...

  • tastyguava TastyGuava (@tastyguava) reported

    @GraveSton3d @workwisdumb @Steam I agree and disagree. I’d rather a platform that allows all developers to post their games and not go through an ultra strict screening process which was a issue which spawned Steam Greenlight. However I rather more quality than quantity on Steam. Either way, makes for good memes

  • EtherwXlf Hitori Nukeru (@EtherwXlf) reported

    @workwisdumb @Steam It's a meme visual novel. If you think beyond that you're probably creating problems for yourself.

  • Winterowouwu Winter (@Winterowouwu) reported

    @Hypnosqueak @Steam so steam doesn’t have quality control ever since the green light function went away. Anyone can put games like this on steam with no problem. if you have $100 you can publish any game.

  • kohafrica Koh Africa (@kohafrica) reported

    @Steam Please disconnect from VPNs or proxies and try again. (Reference ID: 4200171057929453226) I can't create my account above is the response over and over
