    @oSmackyTheFrogo @battlenet @Steam BattleNet is Activision/Blizzard/Microsoft. Of course Microsoft has no idea what they're doing or how big of a problem release day is... they take money left and right, ruin things left and right, and people still buy their crap?

  • TimmyEckhardt Timmy E. (@TimmyEckhardt) reported

    Downloaded WZ2 on @Steam because @battlenet is broken #Battlenet

    @Steam Yeah i went from 33 files, but could still play. To 38 files and a HILLCAT error code and can't play, after the update. The error code is the game but the 38 files is a new one in steam

  • spidermang84 Anthony Candelaria (@spidermang84) reported

    @Steam What's the issue with the "38 files failed to verify"

  • smallfish420 Lil fish (@smallfish420) reported

    54 minutes later I’m still at 19%. #Battlenet is so slow! And #unsatisfactory! I think I might just leave a bad review!! Anyone else having problems downloading #CoDMW2 on @battlenet ? Should have went with @Steam

  • TheRealDocJ_TTV DocJ  (@TheRealDocJ_TTV) reported

    Leave it to @battlenet to have issues downloading the biggest game in over a year but @Steam can do it 10 min... typical dog **** L for BattleNet.... #warzone2

    @oSmackyTheFrogo @battlenet @Steam nah dude, Steam is having it's issues too, I haven't been able to play due to it crashing on start up. It's been happening to a lot of people too. I've verified my files, updated my drivers, restarted my PC, nothing has worked.

    @GoGalaGames @SuperiorTheGame @Steam Hunters is not working 😕 Day by Day Price is down 🤨👎 Need to think other better option.....

  • PStabs404 pStabs (@PStabs404) reported

    @NaClyBoi @Steam It is fixed now! I did nothing to fix it :)

  • Gifted_Lion Gifted Lion (@Gifted_Lion) reported

    Buyers beware, if your planning on buying Call of Duty on @Steam the game is broken and won't run, and they won't issue you a refund either if you go above the 2 hour time limit. Game takes almost 3 hours to patch and that reflects on the play time.

  • BilltheBodyGuy Body Guy Bill (@BilltheBodyGuy) reported

    When talking to @Steam support about an issue I was having connecting my Steam Deck Dock to the TV in desktop mode the answer I ended up getting was "Try a different dock". I don't have another dock. I bought your $90 one to avoid problems like this!

  • joltgaming9 Jolt clika (@joltgaming9) reported

    @BlizzardCS you guys are so trash for this smh all this money and can’t fix anything fast smh @Steam and @EpicGames you guys are the best!

  • Clan_Volkn_Qrik Qrik 🐀 (@Clan_Volkn_Qrik) reported

    Hey @Steam! You did patch, then you did patch to fix patch... Now Qrik's Steam is blank screen! Can't even select games from Library!

  • Adorkable0nes TheAdorkableOnes (AC/Lea)【ANOKI】 (@Adorkable0nes) reported

    Anyone else having issues signing into @Steam? I reset my password but it wouldn't login me in. I don't understand what is happening

  • agamingmoment A GAMING MOMENT (@agamingmoment) reported

    If you having trouble downloading Warzone 2, @Steam Wins the MW2 Warzone 2 Download contest, Right now I'm downloading at about 100KB/s on blizzard, and 22 MB/s on steam, thanks to steam I will get to play before bed tonight. @Blizzard_Ent @CallofDuty #Warzone2 #gamer #podcast

  • Luxxir_ Preloh (@Luxxir_) reported

    @battlenet is the worst game launcher ever created. I would rather run steam on a 1994 desktop. No joke. I haven’t had anything but issues with this dog *** game launcher and I’m uninstalling it for good since @Steam actually knows how to get **** done. You suck @battlenet

  • kevinyork22 Kevin York (@kevinyork22) reported

    @Steam Fix your trash download speeds...

  • arttuuskali Arttu Uskali (@arttuuskali) reported

    I bought @OnDeck almost 1.5 months ago and received a broken Steam Deck. I sent it back for warranty maintenance and haven't had any actual update since October. Not so nice @Steam experience...

  • gone_roguing christian 🇺🇸 (@gone_roguing) reported

    @oSmackyTheFrogo @battlenet @Steam Dude, with all the problems I had with Battlenet since MW2019, as soon as I saw I could use Steam, I jumped on that so fast

  • KingWillex The Official King Willex (@KingWillex) reported

    @Steam @SteamVR @valvesoftware That's it... last straw... I'm done advocating for you.... Get ready for the PR issue's of a life time... Have fun!

  • Loulou__sensei 𒉭KC Laugst𒉭 (@Loulou__sensei) reported

    @Steam_Support @Steam hello, i am currently having a big problem with my steam account. Indeed, I had my email address and my Steam account hacked. I already have an account recovery request except that the person had access to my email addresse unfortunately.

  • NaClyBoi NaCly (@NaClyBoi) reported

    @PStabs404 @Steam It must have been an issue with steam? Regardless, I'm super stoked for you that it resolved itself and you didn't have to stress over it any longer!

  • KillasPetOtter KillasPetOtter (@KillasPetOtter) reported

    @Steam can you please fix the verified game files issue so it’s not impossible to play games through your platform? Not worth buying games from you if they don’t work. Thank you
