    @LinusTech My steam account was hacked and I could never get it back. @Steam didn’t have the kind of service that would help me get my account back and their customer service was ****

  • rcadden Ricky Cadden (@rcadden) reported

    Few things irritate me more than having to re-log in to a service on my personal laptop. @Discord and @Steam are the worst offenders. It's my personal laptop. Your software is *installed* (not website). WHY can you not store my login information indefinitely?

  • StratOvan1969 Steve (@StratOvan1969) reported

    @Steam I'm getting an E502 L3 error when trying to place a game in my cart... anyone else?

  • Brunty Matt Brunt (@Brunty) reported

    @AntiSilence666 @DarkfluxGames @Steam Main issues: Joysticks didn't navigate through menus (had to use touchpads) and using "A" to select a menu item didn't work. In game while playing though, it was great! (Had to adjust sensitivity of turns as that felt too rapid, but I'm not used to joysticks as I'm KBM usually)

  • TheodoreCHill TheodoreCHill (@TheodoreCHill) reported

    @r35godzillalife @SteamStatus @Steam I closed and logged out of Steam, went to the Steam website, clicked the green install button, downloaded it without deleting the former Steam app, and logged in after install. This worked in fixing the issue for me unless it coincidentally worked just as I re-installed it.

  • rainasnajeeb Rainas Najeeb (@rainasnajeeb) reported

    @KirbyKingDoublH @Steam Go inbox MYSTICHACKED07 on Instagram My account also bugged and support service aren’t doing anything about it, he successfully retrieved my account, he is the best.

  • PanHeadMichael Michael Allison 🤙❤ (@PanHeadMichael) reported

    This is the second time within 30 minutes I've been disconnected from @Steam while playing MWII. @InfinityWard why is that? If the game itself isn't crashing I'm getting disconnected several times during one game session. Please fix this

  • desenbigh A Dark Entity (@desenbigh) reported

    @OnDeck @Steam is there a possibility to fix the bug where if the steam servers are down, because I couldn't even boot up my steam deck in offline mode because it needed my log in credentials but I couldn't even log in since the servers were down for a while.
