    @lndexium I launch through steam and my hours are wildly off. Steam constantly lowers my hours on games. I crossed 400 hours on KSP at least 30 times over the course of a month. In reality I should have well over 500 if not 600 or more by now. @Steam playtime is absolutely broken. I have this issue with every game on steam

    @MCDEEZFN @Half_Life_III @Steam No third-party controller will work on Xbox without a paid license, and even then, it will only work via cable. Xinput is the issue for Windows PCs, but it can be used with an Xinput emulator, just like any other third-party controller such as the DualSense.

    @Steam One of the big problems is that devs are often pushed to get a high metacritic score or steam rating off the bat for bonuses etc. And if they don't it's seen as a complete failure by the execs and stockholders, which is stupid. In today's gaming world, a game can grow/degrade.

    @nobullet4u @Steam no problem 🙏

    @Steam Excuse me, but are you having again issues with Visa? I'm trying to buy a game but it keeps saying that it gets rejected.

    @Steam What is the major malfunction with your system? I’ve had to create new account. Try to sign into the old one give reset Passwords. What a ******* nightmare and still can’t sign in what what’s wrong with your system? Same thing happened to my nephew. What’s wrong with your system?

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam It was mis-reported. Everyone gets a 30 day offline license, which converts to a permanent license after you login on the 15th day or later after purchase. All is good.

    I love it when I login to @Steam from PC and it says "use the steam mobile app to confirm login" So I login from my steam mobile account and it says "use the steam mobile app to confirm login" Then search forums and the issue been around for years. Like fix yo ****! WTF!?

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Bro, is this a late April fool? You have perhaps one of the shittiest launchers ever made in pc history. Every ******* time I open Uplay I have to resyinc some **** or login again. Just do yourself a favour, close that Cloaca Maxima and bring your games on Steam already.

    @valvesoftware @Steam Already know this will instantly sell out or the site will crash despite people saying it cost too much.

    now completely signed out of Steam because setting up an authenticator had me reset my password three separate times and now I can’t get in because it says unable to login due to too many long attempts from this location. @Steam thanks.

    Dear @Steam, the useful Verification Code From E-mail feature in iOS/iPadOS doesn't work with e-mails from Steam. I believe this is because iOS only looks at the notification, not the whole e-mail. Please move the code further up (text-wise) in your e-mails to fix this. #UXBug

    @Steam Dear Steam Support, I have been trying to resolve an issue with my account for over a month now. Despite contacting your online support multiple times, I keep receiving a message that my account is tied to a sanctioned country.

    @Steam I'm having issues with gifting games to friends and whatever your support system is wants me to wait for 2 more days until i can explain what the issue is. It would be grateful just to write to someone at Valve and fix my issue ASAP so that my mate gets his gift sooner

    STEAM IS DOWN @Steam please fix this!!

  • Xapdan
    Xap (@Xapdan) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam This controller is great for what it is, but the biggest problem it'll have is when the Steam Machine comes out & have to plug in a mic directly into the Steam Machine to talk since there's no headset jack. I might be dumb but this might make couch play harder for casual players.

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Remove the mandatory Ubisoft Connect login for games bought on Steam and things would already be so much better. Even better, just get rid of Ubisoft Connect entirely.

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam You don't own any game bought digitally in Sony or Steam. You only own the license to play it thrugh Sony/Steam. They can close the service when they want. It is all in the TOS.

    Imagine harassing me 4 hours just sending me invites after invites like begging you wanna play with me, doing 3 different accounts on twitch, getting banned 3 times, changing your Steam name almost 5 times and THEN sending me this unban request?! @Steam your blocking system is not working btw.

    @valvesoftware @Steam There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact Support for Assistance.

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Fix your launcher, it sucks, or better, let us open the games directly from steam without having to see that mess you call launcher

  • marciovmf
    Márcio Freitas (@marciovmf) reported

    Yep, after owning all Playstations since PSOne, and being a PS+ subscriber since the service started, I feel it is time for me to abandon console gaming moving to @Steam definitely.
