    @Steam Extremely frustrated with your support. I am unable to purchase @ForzaHorizon 5 because of some error in payment. My bank says that there is no issue from their end it must be something from steam.

  • Howarding_ 𝘑𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢 🐉 (@Howarding_) reported

    @SquareEnix @Steam It's not "still playable". None of the Core (1-6) and LAU games are playable - not without fan patches/mods. HOW is Squeenix/CD spending #TR25 promoting sales of broken, unsupported products?

  • Sadiku1947 mo bama (@Sadiku1947) reported

    @Goomb__ @Steam This guy's will never respond I’ve tried so many times none responded, all I had to do was get an external support specialist who was able to resolve this whole issue of my account getting messed up and it worked out perfectly, his page is @utopiantechh I suggest you look him up

    @Steam C'mon guys. It is 2021. How can I not send a gift game to a friend in China because of "Regional price differences". Just charge me whatever their local price is. I pay for things in different currencies every month from other service providers with no issues...

    @Steam @DeadByBHVR THIS GAME HAS AN ERROR EVERY TIME YOU GET INTO A LOBBY, COMPLETELY UNPLAYABLE AND NOW STEAM WON'T GIVE ME A REFUND BECAUSE I PLAYED BEFORE ON FREE WEEKENDS

  • izedatwolf Ize Dat Wolf (@izedatwolf) reported

    @Steam Be careful buying games from @Steam . I bought a game that is unplayable because of its age and they refused to refund me and are ignoring my issue. Customer service seems to be non-existent.

  • ChickyPewPew Proflazarchicken (@ChickyPewPew) reported

    @Tom_TomGaming @Steam For real! Man Microsoft has been solid at stopping account hackers and mitigation of the damage, Sony seems to take a little too much time to fix things but steam seems to be the worst wow. I hope this isn't a long term problem

  • MarcLevandowski Marc Levandowski (@MarcLevandowski) reported

    Goes to @Microsoft store to buy @ForzaHorizon , can't install, can't troubleshoot, nonsense errors. Goes to @Steam and installs with 3 clicks. Remind me again why anyone has a store on PC besides Steam? #ForzaHorizon5

  • KumoAlt KanashiiKumo Alt (@KumoAlt) reported

    I do not know what others think of the recent @Steam downloading/installation update whatever from last few months, but It's simply worse now for me. Some games get broken or even if paused it's still going and annoying, I get pissed

  • HTGHunter Hunter Thomason (@HTGHunter) reported

    @Steam I believe my Steam account has been hijacked, I just got an email saying that my Steam account email was changed, and I can't sign in to my account.

  • Sid_Lazer Sid Lazer (@Sid_Lazer) reported

    @Steam I use a PS3/PS4 style controller but every game shows me an Xbox controller layout. Steam even detects my controller as a PS3 controller and the games still show me Xbox buttons. How do you fix this?

  • oscarsbflol i lob oscarr (@oscarsbflol) reported

    @Steam FIX UR **** OMG I CANT GET THE CODE FOR MY ******* ACCOUNT

  • izedatwolf Ize Dat Wolf (@izedatwolf) reported

    @Steam I keep getting auto-responses that are not helping me with a support issue. Can I please speak to a human being?

  • shanecorning "the" Rev (@shanecorning) reported

    Before you get to move the "anti cheat" into the Kernel, Valve, you need to make a public concession to OGC. ...... :-) ... Because you have resorted to taking Clock Cycles to fix your own code. @Steam , #Linux

  • MisterPickleman Pickles! (@MisterPickleman) reported

    I installed @Steam on my new rig and it refuses to start minimized. Every reboot, I get a face full of Steam. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it?

  • GossipPurr GossipPurr (@GossipPurr) reported

    @playlostark My codes in my email say they are duplicates when I try to activate it in @Steam. Any fix for this? #LostArk
