  • Thunderous71 Thunderous71 (@Thunderous71) reported

    @Steam When you going to fix the payment issues plaguing the system. Sale be over soon and haven't been able to purchase a thing.

  • TheBobPony @bobpony@mastodon.social ☃️ (@TheBobPony) reported

    @AlexMcKeever2 @Steam Digital online software clients are very nice, but once the service's servers shutter or the service axes the OS supporting it then it's just basically useless. Shame that most companies don't provide any other way to play them without their client, unless you do the other route.

  • DanielA48597582 Daniel Alfred (@DanielA48597582) reported

    @Uzzy_bahmz @Steam I once had similar issues but #drewfix01on instagram fixed everything perfectly..he's really good... check him out

  • VickiVampiress Marcy (@VickiVampiress) reported

    Why is it that @Steam seems to be one of the less than handful of software/platforms that actually works with almost NO issues ALL the time? Every single game config/platform application I've used the last 5 years has consistently sucked. Except for Steam!

    @Steam software. I hope that Valve can give me a fair review of this matter. I know This will trouble you, but I have always held a fair attitude towards this game. If you have time to trouble you, you can give me a fair review. Thank you A loyal player who loves steam and csgo, and

  • AppledDragon fang (@AppledDragon) reported

    @ErinInTheMorn @Steam this doesnt even only affect trans folks, some people just have old usernames that they wanna change i wholeheartedly agree steam should let you change account names, but its not just a trans issue

  • caulfeild_sky Mastodon Girl (@caulfeild_sky) reported

    @CharlieElm11 @ErinInTheMorn @Steam it's an issue with their databases, so they have pretty much retired the account name being visable, and instead use profile names. where profile names and account names differ is account names are the first key for your account in valves databases.

  • wobuhepijiu maja (@wobuhepijiu) reported

    @Steam fix y’alls servers or smth bc ppl cant login or connect lol

  • aga_aro Aarona.eth (@aga_aro) reported

    @Steam Hello. Is a problem. My friend's Steam account was hacked by some Chinese. A friend wrote to support but no response. The scammer hijacked my friend's email, changed it to his own, and is now playing Spiderman lol A friend has invested a lot in the account.

  • SwiftyBoyo SwiftyBoi 🏳️‍🌈 (@SwiftyBoyo) reported

    @ErinInTheMorn @Steam not even just as a trans issue its just overall annoying as well

  • metalmigrant C.R. ♿️ (@metalmigrant) reported

    @Steam @valvesoftware In the last year I have had to replace four Index Knuckle controllers. One began to fail on the second day. Currently have one with touchpad not working and trigger jamming. Another the touchpad works but it won't be recognized by the Index. On and on they fail.

  • KriggyPlays_TV KriggyPlays_TV (@KriggyPlays_TV) reported

    unfortunately there may be no stream today... it looks like the unfortunately ironic timing of @Steam having ****** servers is going to set me back yet again, sorry folks, steam loves causing issues!

  • ZlaSyrenka Syrenka (@ZlaSyrenka) reported

    @ErinInTheMorn @Steam I have had this exact problem when trying to change all of my account names. Most accounts I just remade. But Steam? I poured a lot of money into my account when it comes to games and even time for progression. I don't want to start over.

  • ShinyEmil Shiny (@ShinyEmil) reported

    @ErinInTheMorn @Steam Especially with 2FA and ways to verify your email, I don't see what the problem with changing it is.

  • caulfeild_sky Mastodon Girl (@caulfeild_sky) reported

    @ErinInTheMorn @Steam they do, the issue comes in with SteamIDs, these are legacy and used for login. it is kinda an issue I guess since it would require a major rewrite of their authencation system, which might require steam to go down during the migration

  • Nelson24253482 Nelson (@Nelson24253482) reported

    @restalplays @Steam I'm sorry for that but you should try Williams _ Crackz Instagram they are the best when it comes to social media accounts recovery I assure you're problem can be shovel only if you try them you won't regret it I promise you

  • caulfeild_sky Mastodon Girl (@caulfeild_sky) reported

    @Eleanor_McD @ErinInTheMorn @Steam Did you change the account name or the profile name, I have changed my profile name a long time ago and it was pretty simple but the account name, IE the username I sign in with is still the same

  • tabous2 Denis (@tabous2) reported

  • wokeywonka Wokey Wonka (@wokeywonka) reported

  • OpieCollective Cort Ferguson (@OpieCollective) reported

  • Eris_OEA 🏳️‍⚧️Eris_OEA🏳️‍⚧️ (@Eris_OEA) reported

    @ErinInTheMorn @Steam This is also a problem with @SimracingGP have had multiple friends that have tried to update their name on the platform and they have repeatedly refused to do so, even when provided with legal documentation to confirm the name change.

  • simplymuth august (@simplymuth) reported

    @ErinInTheMorn @Steam @Spotify has the same problem.

  • RobbieFlood Robbie Flood (@RobbieFlood) reported

    .@Steam has to have the worst support set up of all time. Wants you to sign in but I can’t get past Steam Guard because I’m not receiving any of their emails even when I try all the troubleshooting suggestions.

  • Ethan_Ethier14 Ethan Ethier (@Ethan_Ethier14) reported

    @FabianGeschwin1 @Steam Having the same issue lmk if you find a fix

  • Rynm5 Ryan (@Rynm5) reported

    @Steam Any chance you all will be fixing the Steam Link black screen bug in 2023? It's been present since 2015 and is still an issue with the software link. It breaks your product.
