  • DamienXIII Damien (XIII) (@DamienXIII) reported

    @perverteer @Steam As in my opinion @Steam doesn't have any reason to not allow this game..... Even I think, #AdultGames (especially #AVN) industries are getting bigger and bigger..... So, hopefully, there will be no problem.....

    Ehm, @Steam? "It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours. Please wait a while before trying again." Eigentlich nichts laut Verlauf. Hat gerade jemand noch das gleiche Problem? Kann gerade nichts kaufen.

  • Jack_1080 Jack1080 (@Jack_1080) reported

    @Steam I am renaming you to Archive. I have 13 years of service and 100+ (1/3 of the games i haven't even played) but you cant refund when I ask for 1. Can you at least delete it from my library.

  • ShanHero3 Shan Hero (@ShanHero3) reported

    @devapsingh @Steam Sorry about the issue concerning your account but in my opinion there’s a chance of recovery contact #ethanmatheew on Instagram

  • walayimuna Walayimuna (@walayimuna) reported

    @Steam I can't play any games on your platform since yesterday, I keep getting an error that I don't have internet access, apparently, ONLY STEAM can't access the internet, I can literally STREAM TO TWITCH that steam gives me an error that it does not have internet access....

  • TrueWolfy True Wolfy (@TrueWolfy) reported

    @MrBnBain @Battlefield @Steam My boyfriend has the same issue, he spent so long trying to make the damn game playable that he can't get a refund.

  • edinburghnites Ch4rm (@edinburghnites) reported

  • W3BS_ Sbew (@W3BS_) reported

    @Steam could you guys please get back to me about my broken base station!! I still have a warranty for my setup but support still hasn’t responded to me about it. I just want to get my base station fixed or replaced this is ridiculous

  • VReddy_007 Vishwanath Reddy (@VReddy_007) reported

    @Steam its been over 3 days since I placed a refund request on a game I purchased @GearsofWar, due to a technical issue with the download. I still haven't received my refund or any communication from steam support, Please help. vishwanath31 is the username.

  • LibertyForAll19 Old School Wargamer (@LibertyForAll19) reported

    @Steam This looks very enticing till I remember what an unstable wreck Steam is, how often I cant play games I paid for in full, and how many of them lay broken cause of steam updates . One literally for years.
