    @Steam Please add an option to filter out any games that require you to log into a third party service so we can cut them out of our lives. And make it so if a game adds that requirement after we pay for it, we can get a full refund. Even if it's 8 years later like Tomb Raider.

  • yourboikuma Yourboikuma (@yourboikuma) reported

    @Steam i have had trouble fro three days trying to redeem my code for #NewWorld and your damn support page has nowhere to help

  • jankais3r Jan Kaiser 🛡️ (@jankais3r) reported

    @Pettahe @sathaxe @Steam They did not remove OpenGL support. They marked it as deprecated few years back, but then went through the trouble of porting it to Apple Silicon version of macOS anyway. It is not the latest version of OpenGL, though. In any case, many game engines have Metal support these days.

  • SlothGameGuy SlothGameGuy (@SlothGameGuy) reported

    Anybody have a Steam page about to go live? I need an example of what URL is linked to the “Post as Coming Soon…” button. My button is not working and the URL link to it makes no sense (current page plus a ‘#’). I’m not a web dev, but that seems weird to me. @Steam #IndieGameDev

  • Foxsan48 Mx. Lottie (Charlotte) 💜🦊 (she/her) (@Foxsan48) reported

    Found an issue with Steam. if you are playing a game, and it has a pending update, it stops telling you that you are playing it, and silently ignores you asking steam to update it. I wish it told me it can't because it's running @Steam @Steam_Support

  • Charles86510366 Charles Phillips (@Charles86510366) reported

    If @baldursgate3 isn’t going to be updated on @GoogleStadia can I get my money back so I can play it on @Steam without issue?

  • MasterPom Roy Hobbs (@MasterPom) reported

    @Steam hello team ! I am able to reset my password and use my Authenticator from my phone but I cannot login to the app or website as it says too many attempts were tried for my account. It had been two weeks now, how can I get help to login ???

  • TheBrokenWomen ⚢ Erica 🏳️‍⚧️ ⚢ (@TheBrokenWomen) reported

    @Steam isn't even ******* responding to me anymore... so I'm not ever going to be able to replace my broken Controller. **** you all.

  • shenanigan_c shenaniganc (@shenanigan_c) reported

    @Steam is there a way to get in contact with an actual costumer service person instead of the generated emails about refunds?

  • LiamMatee__ Vikingaming (@LiamMatee__) reported

    @Steam Having alot of trouble to getting on my game it keep closing the game when I'm clicking launch (play) it's not letting me on the game screen at all @RuneScape

  • andyypants 🌳 Druid Andrew 🌳 (@andyypants) reported

    @currencyat @everquest @Steam Problem is I don't think they see the value in this cause they are like wtf you mean people buy and sell our items and we get nothing? They are seeing a limited sized pie though, not the one that gets bigger over time if you create more value.

  • catovitch Meowski Catovitch (@catovitch) reported

    @PixelJanosz @HighlandArrow @Steam IDK, people were pretty annoyed at Doom requiring a Bethesda login, and I think they only got away with that because there are so many other (better) ways to play Doom.

  • SasamiRari Sasami Rari (@SasamiRari) reported

    hey @Steam I need to get a refund on a game. This game that is RELIANT on multiplayer has under 1000 players on at any time now. It released last month. It's missing features that were supposed to be here, and many other issues also All I want is steam wallet credit. Thats it.

  • Kazyu_The_Avali Kazyu The Avali (@Kazyu_The_Avali) reported

    @Daro_Silverbutt @Nicolain08 @Steam these hours were on steam family sharing i still should have been able to return it same day to get the $10 package that day without wasting an extra $5 because steam decided to pull a fast one. pretty **** service if you ask me.

  • dlcoates1 Dylan Coates (@dlcoates1) reported

    @Steam bans blockchain games over real world value issues, yet their own community marketplace has items that sell for hundreds such as the CS:GO knives. Real world value? More like “we can’t make money off your NFT’s so we don’t want you here!”

  • mashiloa_ Mashiloa (@mashiloa_) reported

    @jakebrowatzke @Steam @blockbuster Not sure but PERHAPS the reason why steam blocked NFT games is because there were a lot of fakes? They must have had tons of complaints. Problem is they took the easy way by simply blocking all.

  • Xyscco_ Rodrigo Xyscco (@Xyscco_) reported

    @Steam steam panel inside hot wheels unleashed game is crashing the game when it starts. when disabling in game properties, the problem stops. but of course losing panel features.

  • p3t3EE Pete🖇✂️ (@p3t3EE) reported

    @TheYoonz @Steam It really feels bad how your account has been banned I had same issue not until I was recommended to (mighty_techz) on IG and he got it fixed today hit him up and be happy again

  • AnimaKind Anima has bad aim (@AnimaKind) reported

    @MarshMorsh @CSGO @Steam maybe someone will steal the source code again and fix this **** for them lol

  • sailorspork Mike (@sailorspork) reported

    @fightfortheftr @valvesoftware @Steam Please don't die on your sword for this issue. You'll delegitimize all the other good work and advocacy you're doing. The main things that Blockchain enable in gaming tend to correlate to the most toxic elements to modern gaming: loot crates, gambling, pay-to-win

  • thweikantra FlashFrame85 AKA Thwei Kantra (@thweikantra) reported

    @The_Farmer_John @Steam @valvesoftware You won't Farmer, the Steam issue with NFT's Blockchain is if the GAME ITSELF is mining/minting/using blockchain, not the company doing stuff WITH blockchain... sadly this is a pointless endevor.

  • WKennom We Are Kennom (@WKennom) reported

    @The_Farmer_John @Steam @valvesoftware Got denied, repeated, got denied, repeated, now it gives me an error

  • Nicolain08 Nicolain08 (@Nicolain08) reported

    @Hydrotalcid @Kazyu_The_Avali @Steam The problem here, is that this said license was used BEFORE it was bought, using steam family sharing. What would seem logical is to not be able to refund 2 hours AFTER the purchase, and cumulate this time so you can't buy and refund continuously to abuse.

  • PhanboyP PhanboyPrince (@PhanboyP) reported

    @Steam Hello, I really hope this reaches an actual person. Steam support has been bugging me the last day and generally is being extremely unhelpful for what I would believe to be a rather easy to fix issue, but instead, the support guy I got, Ken, is digging his heels in and say g (1/2

  • teabag451 Kaitlyn (@teabag451) reported

    @Shes_So_Kind @DeadByBHVR @Steam I got the same error

  • CubicFoxxx Cubic 🐾 Foxxx (@CubicFoxxx) reported

    Rip @Steam. Seems like an outage just started, as I was getting ready to play DBD with friends 😭

  • PineappleBuns_ bong seltzer water (@PineappleBuns_) reported

    @Steam give me an option to pay for an extended warranty on physical products. 1 year for a $1,000 product is so bad, especially since you know your index cables are a huge issue, fix your stuff please
