  • AEgwinn Axel Lamury (@AEgwinn) reported

    Dear @Steam as I often travel worldwide, I face myself in a situation where I'm unable to purchase game from your platform because my payement methods are linked to a single country. Rendering me unable to pay for any new games while I'm on a trip. Could this issue be solved?

  • Waterwet1 Kaz (@Waterwet1) reported

    @sharkiecharlie @Steam @EpicGames Furries are as human as they are animal. They're not one or another. Also, the issue of ********* is the lack of consent and abuse, and as far as I'm aware, furries have the intellect of humans.

  • ThatCerberusGuy Manning Damant - #GethLivesMatter #FreeKotkaniemi (@ThatCerberusGuy) reported

    @thasnarkknight @Steam It sucked at launch, but it got quite a bit better. Biggest problem now is a small player base, but I've played worse games in this genre

  • wooble Geoffrey Spear (@wooble) reported

    @EpicGames Nice. Games that don't even use the internet finally reappeared in my library, but just crash on startup. Should have bought @IntoTheLongDark on @Steam

  • GGuntaku Gunz_Guntaku (@GGuntaku) reported

    I know I'm getting a cable and another refurb from @Steam @SteamVR but it's really sad we pay 1000 plus dollars and it fails within 2 years. Lucky if you can buy a cable. Will dissect my broken cable later for a video to see if it's possible to refurb it. Index is too brittle.
