    @Steam @valvesoftware Now we see the dark side of refunding. I have a simple way to fix this. We have echivements. So when the ,,game done,, is triggered a special unvisible avhivement marked in the profile (only server side) prevents players for refund option of the game.

  • Vivian63414634 Vivian Taylor (@Vivian63414634) reported

    @merxgamer @Steam I had similar issues contacting support service but nothing changed until my cousin recommended me to mic_tech025 on Instagram the dude is good

  • hojima_kideo Kideo Hojima 🍰 (@hojima_kideo) reported

    WTF is this for real? People are entering #CSGO matches and making it crash with #DDoS attacks? @valvesoftware @Steam

  • tannerlafond Tanner LaFond (@tannerlafond) reported

    @EmikaGames Please do not leave the game industry! You made a great game and we are eager for more. People abusing the return system on Steam does not mean you didn't create something fantastic that people love. This is a @Steam problem that should be fixed, not a you problem.

  • Bando312g Bando312 (@Bando312g) reported

    @Steam real talk I've been streaming games since (OnLive sony cloud service) and so own it's improved greatly cloud as hole...but what I 4 got about was steam link which I will be the coming months...dope

  • LauraJBrownlee Laura Brownlee (@LauraJBrownlee) reported

    @Steam So. I reinstalled windows. Install all my stuff, everything goes swimmingly. Until you, that is. Password/email login correct, but you don't like that I've reinstalled my OS. Fine. I click for the code. Which doesn't come. I DO however get a link to reset my email

  • TorixxWalsh Tori-of-Rivia (@TorixxWalsh) reported

    @EmikaGames @Steam fix this please. This is not right. This game was amazing and people are taking advantage of the return policy.

  • markthomas0071 Mark Thomas (@markthomas0071) reported

    @AskPS_UK ….service is beyond a joke. Now if I had purchased a digital game on @xboxuk and @steam, and there was slight confusion and/ a genuine mistake, you can get a refund no issues, no fuss, nothing. As long as you haven’t played the game long, etc, no issues. Now that’s good customer

  • gtrabach Giordano Trabach (@gtrabach) reported

    @DONTNOD_Michel @Steam I think that a great fix for that, at least for short games, it's the Steam implements a way to the developer tell after which point the game can't be refunded anymore based on achievements. E.g.: If the player unlocks the achievement for beating the game... (1/2)

  • NextHallowsEve Shelby (@NextHallowsEve) reported

    @SaintsRow @DSVolition @Steam Could you guys fix saints row 4 and make it work on pc again or at least delist it if you aren't going to it shouldn't be able to be sold when most people can't even start it.

  • lextwinson KING 👑 (@lextwinson) reported

    @Lmnwsn @Steam Message donnashacks for help to fix it

  • loveandlight07 Love And Light (@loveandlight07) reported

    @HviidViktor @Steam I had the same issue ..I never taught of getting my account back …massive appreciation to @calderon_09 for recovering my ..suspended ..locked.. hacked or banned .. disabled account you should check them out too.....✅ .

  • Sephirothtx Joshua Winters / sephiroth_tx 🏳️‍🌈 (@Sephirothtx) reported

    @Steam fix your return policy I'll stream it when i get a chance. ... As a writer it annoys me that in Twitter font I'll looks like the same letter used 3 times.

  • runevision Rune Skovbo Johansen (@runevision) reported

    @kylewbanks @Steam First of all, having to estimate the play time would only be an issue if you want to opt into shortening the refund time frame. For most multiplayer games that expect people play them for more than 2 hours, or that people are not likely to refund, no estimate is needed.

  • fabiomeza_br Fabio Meza (@fabiomeza_br) reported

    @PQubeGames @Steam Please can you fix the subtitle in Portugues - Brazilian on Playstation 5. Is not working, how can i enable the subititle on ps5?

  • gtrabach Giordano Trabach (@gtrabach) reported

    @DONTNOD_Michel @Steam the game automatically can't be refunded. No matter the play time. Of course this could create some problems of his own (game unlocking achievement right on startup), but I think it's some sort of solution. (2/2)

  • Dipo_Israel Inertia (@Dipo_Israel) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support you guys really need to do fix the issues associated with opening an account on your platform. For at least two years now, users have been finding it hard to sign up on Steam.

  • NickyCip22 Cip (@NickyCip22) reported

    @Steam Hello do you guys have like actual customer service or just the useless support page on your site??

  • nishiluqi Gustasvo (@nishiluqi) reported

    @Steam I've been trying to fix an error in my steam account for 6 months now, I've sent several reports to support and they never fix :(

  • FlicktheMatrix Felicity 🌱🌎 (@FlicktheMatrix) reported

    @Verghast404 @Steam Could be a graphics/video card issue? make sure all your drivers and software are up to date and updated regularly

  • Ashley_Brian_ BRIAN (@Ashley_Brian_) reported

    @aiko25 @Steam having same issues like i try to emailed the support team for some weeks and literally they didn’t even meet up to my request till i saw the good recommendations about @VIRONET_ORG on Twitter and I give it a Trial in less than an hour my account was restored peacefully.

  • xDianax_ xDianax💗 | RPG (@xDianax_) reported

    @SweetPeaChick_ @Steam I can see why it would be a problem where people can return games that are only played within 2 hours 😞😩 he should just find a new platform to release it on if it’s possible

  • Ashley_Brian_ BRIAN (@Ashley_Brian_) reported

    @HviidViktor @Steam Report this issue to Global_Recovery123 on Instagram. He's the best to recover any hacked account. He recovered mine within 20 minutes.

  • tannerlafond Tanner LaFond (@tannerlafond) reported

    @EmikaGames I hope you don't leave the game industry! You made a great game and we are eager for more. People abusing the return system on Steam should be ashamed. It's like seeing a movie, loving it, then asking for a refund. @Steam you need to solve this problem, prevent the abuse.

  • AntonWeman Anton Weman (@AntonWeman) reported

    FIX YOUR SERVERS @CSGO @valvesoftware @Steam

  • runevision Rune Skovbo Johansen (@runevision) reported

    @MoArtis @Steam I think no questions asked refunds within a reasonable time is a great consumer right and protection against issues where the game doesn't run on your computer, or you find out it wasn't what you thought at all. The time limit just has to be reasonable for the given game.

  • nsrosenqvist Niklas Rosenqvist (@nsrosenqvist) reported

    Hey @CDPROJEKTRED, thousands are having key issues with Witcher 1 on @Steam, me included. Can we please have a statement on this and a fix?
