-
Apex Autist (@galaxygash) reported@Zoroarts @Steam absolutely no problem. I'm sorry if that caused/causes you any issues, if anyone cites it or makes the claim, tag me and ill clarify I was mistaken and why.
-
Yawen (@YawenCh69) reported@Vetrix22 @Zoroarts @Steam $1 for an hour of fun? Yeah- that’s a good deal. No one said games like that are at risk here. I haven’t done that to an indie developer- that’s cruel. Games like MiSide are fun. Worth the money. Not gonna refund. (Although it was beaten in like an hour) Games that charge AAA title prices that end in under an hour or two is unacceptable- I will refund. I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again with a cute smile. Money isn’t the problem- the principal of the situation is.

Daz🤘 (@Metal_Dazzaw) reported@2K @mafiagame Fix input glyph being blank on steam deck and steam machine? For this and mafia 1 definitive, please? @Steam
-
KasherAkasha (@AkebiAkira) reported@Indulgence82 @Zoroarts @Steam “Skill issue” Lowkey I think you should kill yourself
-
HowlingHenry (@HowlingFord) reported@gaersstapa @Zoroarts @Steam He can complain about the system being unfair for short games (it is) but the system is inherently better regardless due to the fact that anyone with tech problems or other limitations can always get their money back after buying a game on steam
-
EVEILCHARM (@EveilCharm) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I agree it sucks but it's consumer protection against scam games and even one of them hit the news about a month or two ago so it's still a problem even now with the refund.
-
Xenos (Ambassador Of Indie Games) (@WrenchOfChaos) reported@PotatoCrispDip @Steam The problem is that you can return any game through steam within 2 weeks and played under 2 hours, and many devs who have made critically acclaimed but very short games have made this same complaint about people beating & returning the game. It's a a problem steam needs to fix
-
Drew Peacock (@En_Senada69) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Add 20 more minutes of content. Problem solved.
-
Dee Man Blanco (@TriniCreamHD) reportedhey @valvesoftware @Steam don't tell me to reset my password just for you to deny my login. fix this **** QUICKLY (e84/87)
-
ZoroTheWingWam🇮🇪🩵🪽 (@Zorothewingwam) reported@Zoroarts @Steam This seems like a you problem
-
j (@FUCKJVLY) reported@Steam One of the biggest online markets with millions of users needs a phone service. It’s ******* ridiculous I have to wait hours or days for a reply on a hacked account….. Especially accounts worth thousands.
-
Ryan Watson (@RyanPHPDev) reported@Randomuser22147 @Zoroarts @Steam Agreed. If we have to choose between a 2 hours no question money back on games vs you making a more comprehensive game that people are willing to want keep or play for more than 2 hours, I would say that you are the problem.
-
Chud McCloud ✝️🇺🇲 (@MaroonKennedy) reported@eramaster12 @Steam @PlayStation Playstation says they want to double down on live service games even after the failures of Concord and Marathon
-
Useless (@mustafa27007713) reported@Zoroarts @Steam i dont see this as steam fault,2 hours is such a good time window to experience a game especially if its a big pvp paid game (see marathon). now its for sure annoying for people to refund you even tho they loved your game but thats more of people issue then steam issue.
-
TradeMate (@urf10) reported@Zoroarts @Steam if your game can be finished in 2h its not a game you should add more content then you dont have this problem
-
Kellanisverycool (@Kellanisvcool) reported@Zoroarts @Steam lol make a game longer than 2 hours dumbass. I can't believe that's an actual issue you're having.
-
L9FRIENDLYSTYLE (@L9FRIENDLYSTYLE) reported@LiquidEffer @Zoroarts @Steam He has the solution at his fingertips yet you and others are here encouraging him to sit on his *** and do nothing about it and wait for the force he has no control over to fix his problem
-
Atomic Brick Studio (@Bitbybrix) reportedHello @Steam, I bought Sunset Overdrive and Undertale today, but an error occured through my purchase when I bought it. The money was deducted from my card but the Steam app said that the purchase failed due to an incorrect address. I had to redo my purchase for it to work.
-
M.Safwan (@MSafwan14479038) reported@Steam_Support I have lost my login ID. The @Steam ID is not connected to anyone, i.e. my phone. I remember my gmail but I still can't access the software. I can't play games. Please help me @Steam_Support
-
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 !
-
ARKS Angel (@arks_angel) reported@Steam is everything okay? First I was having issues downloading from the Chicago CDN, and now getting a bad gateway error when viewing my wishlist?
-
Mr. Patchy (@Mister_Patchy) reported@dillzilla11 @LinuxMostly @Steam My dad didn't play on his account for literally years, then gave it to his stepson so he could play his games, literally no problems.
-
✧.*Selene.*✧ Genshin HSR WuWa Pilot (@Selatiorine) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Sounds like a you problem. If someone can finish the game within an hour. That is not a game and certainly not one worth paying for. That refund policy has been extremely helpful for times that games ended up being terrible or completely not worth the money.
-
Danny Silvers (@shadesofsilver) reported@SandorHQ @Zoroarts @Steam Not to say that the price isn't right here. It absolutely is. What we really have is a cultural problem, and that's not something Steam can fix. Steam can't force its audience to grow up.
-
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...
-
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
-
Vernon Black (@veerrn) reported@Steam any idea when going to address 🤔 this outage you have with customers
-
Marokano (@Marokano8888) reported@Zoroarts @Steam That's not a Steam issue, people are just pieces of ****, also you could make game a little longer.
-
🚫👁️Reckless-Unicorn | Demitrieus Kahn (@RecklesUnicorn) reported@Zoroarts @Steam maybe the problem isnt STEAM MAYBE the problem is the amount of content in your game.... MAYBE if it had more gameplay people wouldnt be able to FINISH IT under refund time.... did you think about THAT
-
👾アイリーン👾 (@Ladybug_bu) reported🫵😡 @grok @Steam @Steam_Support I made an account on EA App and another on Steam — everything went super smooth and easy. But on Steam I’ve got a problem: it won’t let me log into my account, saying I need to close my mom’s session, even though hers is already closed. I’m not sure if the issue is because I’m using my mom’s PC. When I try to log in on Steam from my phone, it says the password is invalid 😩🔒. I’ve already changed it three times through Steam Help Center and still nothing.
