-
Rodead (@ProgramRodead) reported@Pirat_Nation good for them, still not removing it from my ignore list. which admittedly still doesn't mean much as @Steam's store page is still broken. fix your store damn it! @Steam_Support
-
Kiika (@IIKiikaII) reported@Steam FIX YOUR SERVERS PLEASE I CANT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING. CANT PLAY ANYTHING ONLINE. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO OR FIX THE SERVERS
-
Alex J Rage-Bait (@TimmyTooStronk) reported@Zoroarts @Steam It's a ****** thing for people to do and it's not really a good feeling to suggest you should pad the game, but you had to kind of see this coming just based on a Pareto distribution right? 20% of people are going to be 80% of your problem
-
熨斗蘭(のしらん) (@Noshiran_game) reported@Steam_Support @Steam fix plz
-
tramstalker (@tramstalker) reported@SlavetotheCaff1 @Zoroarts @Steam brain issue - not every game is 20 hours (neither should be), steam should change it's refund policy for shorter games
-
Gingersnaps (@GingersnapsTM) reported@Zoroarts @Steam If you put that DLC you're peddling in the base game instead it would be long enough that nullify this issue.
-
johnny utah (@vinnychase1764) reported@Steam your support sucks. You won’t refund a game that has under 4 hours of play time. You see all the reviews. It’s broken.
-
Azzys Design Works (@AzzyDesignWorks) reported@ntbrown01 @Steam I have a 2nd gen MS Surface that I want to turn into a portable steam machine. Problem is going to be cracking it open to replace the battery.
-
BritishDissonance (@Britdissonance) reported@jcrain1991 @Zoroarts @Steam The irony in calling me a simpleton when you're clearly a complete retard, good lord. Now you're making the argument that steam policy should change on one review? My whole point is either most people are refunding after beating it in under 2 hours, in which case its not worth the money, or they are refunding it for other reasons which is a non issue. Either way this dev is complaining about nothing.
-
Dani (@sqronce) reported@Zoroarts @nieyter19 @Steam Some would believe evidence, and some wouldn’t. Receipts help with claims. While you’re trying to prove claims, I’m still waiting on evidence of all the reviews boasting of refunding after completing in under 2 hours, showing that this form of refund was a wide spread issue.
-
cracinlac (@burnme121107) reported@Chriss_m @Zoroarts @Steam do you watch a movie and then demand your money back because it was only an hour and a half long? and clearly the quality of the game isnt a problem because people are literally saying they enjoyed it but still refunding it. its bad for the developer who is a person with needs
-
isawarenshi (@isawarenshi) reported@Ian_Fisch @Zoroarts @Steam The issue is define short in both cases and don't make the policy too unwieldly for actual use.
-
Xenos (Ambassador Of Indie Games) (@WrenchOfChaos) reported@PotatoCrispDip @Steam I agree that's on them for submitting a short game and acting surprised when they happened, you really just shouldn't submit a short game to Steam in it's current state if you don't want returns, but that doesn't mean it's still a problem that Steam should (and can) fix.
-
Paco Ace (@DamJPaco) reported@Steam Hi, I need help to modify my email address. Former email address is unavailable but I get a "error 2" everytime I put the code I received to change my email... Please help !
-
MR.SOLACE (@oopsallsolace) reported@Zoroarts @Steam There's a community behind this, where people challenge themselves to beat a game under the refund time. Make your game longer and this will not be an issue.
-
isawarenshi (@isawarenshi) reported@MeringueRouge @Zoroarts @Steam The issue is proving it. They could beat it say I did not enjoy the time I spent playing it and the window was still open so the refund is not abuse. Hell even in this case they gave a 👍 but if they did not like it was short the refund is still not abuse. Do better work.
-
Mike Steel 💵🥩🥃 (@mike_steel_) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Skill issue. Make your game last 3 hours.
-
Odoq (@TAW_Odoq) reported@Zoroarts @Steam seems like a sinple fix... have a steam achievement when you beat the game. If you get the achievement you can't refund the game...
-
Whiteshadow (@whiteshadow_001) reported@ArtemR @Steam People have stated issues with the overall thermals being very poor
-
Tom (@tommyownzall) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I found the problem. Make your game have some content so people play it for more than 2 hours.
-
Bob Cross (@Odenwoodnlaser) reported@Steam why is your site infected with a phiishing file? Why is your login system and support system not working? Why has this been going on for over a week.
-
PwrPak (@PwrPak) reported@Steam So you eliminate Nascar Heat and other Nascar base games to promote New Nascar 25 with subscription service , game doesnt allow older PC users to use keyboard, mouse !
-
Indieanos Gaming (@Indieanos) reportedA serious issue especially for indie developers that @Steam needs to take seriously into consideration. If the player finishes the game, should he have the right to refund it? On the other hand, if this change is made and the game is short on purpose, the player is not protected.
-
Ric Sin (@Sinric23) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Your direct competitors and peers specifically target the post two hour framing. This isn’t a you nor a player problem at all. Ashes of creation deliberately rug pulled as well as tons of game media. Make a great game.. let em refund.. make more content.. build your brand. Be the difference not saying players should lose autonomy or you sell off the entire gaming community to the filth that has been delivering predatory content in greater and greater measure. Don’t blame steam either .. they are about the only vector creating a legit space for gamers. So.. keep making games. You made 55k people interact, make another game.. get more. Stop trying to turn entire systems into harvest mechanisms the ruin the entire culture and economy.
-
Dan Abrenica (@Dan_Abrenica) reported@MattyDanner @Steam Hello @MattyDanner, I have a question, if Jose and Panchito have a angry issue and sent there near the water. Will there be 2 Big Reflections of Jose and Panchito's counterparts or just the same reflection as the same order to Devil Donald as he splits himself into a few devils.
-
StockStackr (@VeganCatBounce) reportedThe actual problem is I got a new phone # and steam will not let me log in with a password, an email, they are forcing me to give that phone # I can not play war of rights because I refuse to let steam farm me. **** off @Steam
-
N'Tsuki Tia (@NTsuki_Tia) reported@Zoroarts @Steam People will at times be trying to play, have some trouble and be trying to debug it, or just trying to play to see if they like or not, and run go 2 hours before they decide, or confirm if will not work really (specially games that need patching and so so).
-
Zynner (@zynnachin) reported@Shinogi_Trench @BasedBickle @Steam Wow, the game has some glaring issues that it takes playtime to figure out? Because they didn’t adequately playtest it? And I don’t get to speak about it? You are a spiritual slave
-
Big Bro Studios (@bigbrostudiosAI) reportedI've had some rotten experiences with companies that have no humans in customer support! This is why I'd like to thank @Steam for their awesome customer support service, very helpful and kind!
-
Bernier. ARCHIVE (@Berneirffxiv) reported@Steam_Support you really are the GOAT. @Steam usally pulls though. so many years and any problem they do their best. Even if it did not work out they go above and beyond .
