-
gfodor.id (@gfodor) reported@OlexGameDev @Zoroarts @Steam You don’t see an issue with someone playing a game for free by exploiting a refund policy?
-
Brent Caulfield (@BrentCaulfield) reported@Cyberw0t @Zoroarts @Steam I totally agree. Its not something I would do and I think its basically stealing. Especially if you enjoyed it. I just don't see how Steam can fix that problem without introducing a lot of other problems.
-
𝓐𝓽𝓪𝓴𝓪𝓷 (@atakanyr7) reported@Steam @Steam_Support My computer was hacked because of the Wallpaper Engine app; they tried to steal my emails and there were suspicious login attempts. My Riot account was also stolen, and I am currently a victim of this situation. I need your help to resolve it.
-
🇺🇸 King Elsydeon 🇺🇸 (@King_Elsydeon) reported@obakepam @Steam AI is not a problem. Shovelware predates AI by years.
-
Keiji D Ezio (@EzioKeiji) reported@obakepam @Steam Indie devs can't afford to hire hundreds of people in multiple studios around the world like UbiSlop or CrapCom. Who cares if the background bushes and trees in a game are AI generated. Truly 1st world problems.
-
markemark1286 (@MarkBerryh45268) reported@ThisOldGuy3 @Steam Wish I could fix it
-
Samantha Laine 🧭 (@slainephoto) reported@ArcadiaFallen @Steam, could y'all fix this?
-
犬さん (@LatterDayCat) reported@DragonSnow4 @obakepam @Steam As for government's punishment, failure to disclose AI use should result in the permanent destruction of all their copyright with the inability to file new copyrights until they fix it. Anything created during the time of their lie should be free from copyright too.
-
Devils Advocate (@M3ta_Save) reported@Zoroarts @Steam They should check the profile to see if the game has been completed before they issue a refund... It be really easy just check for the steam trophy linked to the games Completion if it's presant deny the refund.
-
Flamiexfuta (@flamiexfuta) reported@Zoroarts @Steam i mean its like this for a reason, its to protect the consumer from how terrible some devs can be tbh even 2 hours isnt enough for some games not saying ur one, the easiest best way to fix this exact situation is u need to make a longer game. instead of blanket hurt everyone
-
Who asked? (@dyural) reported@ToanChan_ @Fromp_Tman @Steam then what's your problem?
-
🔞̷Moxxie🔞🏳️🌈 (@FoxxyUncMoxxie) reported@BearForceCubHQ @Patrick21611 @Steam Sadly its a Activision problem and they kept it that high what steam does is also take a 30% cut steam can't do anything about it its why most people pirate those older games
-
RememberToHope (@RememberToHope) reportedWill the MORONS at @Steam fix Dead Island 2? It's missing the "anti easy cheat" install files after the update, so it can't launch anymore if people uninstall then reinstall it. Your staff are abolute derps. This has been a persisting issue for months (since the last update).
-
Gamehopper (@GamehopperPlays) reportedI wish that both @PocketpairGames and @valvesoftware @Steam can issue a restraining order against lawfair abusers.
-
Darrell williams (@2000_pip) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Never refunded a game ever but I would like to think I could if I had a real problem with the game I think there police is perfect the way it is there going to all ways be ppl that exploit it but the reverse is the company use it to exploit the consumer a middle is what we have
-
Sepamoa (@sepamoanon) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Did you try making better games? 'cause the game you're talking about is stupidly short while not even being good and having quite a lot of issues.
-
A hangry Kommo-o (@hangryKommo_o) reported@KCID___GIB @Zoroarts @Steam Problem: unscrupulous creators give it when you open the game.
-
Blue 💻 (@BwuUnhinged) reported@jaydon8D @Zoroarts @Steam That’s like going to the movies, enjoying the movie so much and then going back to concessions to ask for a refund, it doesn’t really make sense Imagine you asked for that refund and they gave it to you, it’s not a director skill issue it’s just a messed up system atp
-
†🇺🇲🍊🇮🇱🦣𝕄𝔸𝔾𝔸ℤ𝕆ℕ𝔸🦣🌵☀️† (@pitsnyper) reported@Steam I hope they're is someone who can help. I have used the password change method on the website, but when I go to login it still gives me a "wrong password" message. And also states that I have the steam authenticator app attached and I do not, at least I think I do not.
-
♨️ (@olybuzz) reporteda rising tide lifts all boats . . shouldn't @Sony offer service to relicense old Playstations so gamers can format hardware as @Steam box or otherwise run utility software like DVR, SDR tuner, or "Digital DM" LLM nodes for role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons? @Wizards_DnD
-
NorkDorf Entertainment (@NorkDorf) reported@DDoubleLumbar @MoistCr1TiKaL @Steam That’s a huge red flag. Forcing browser links without consent? That's crossing a line. It’s not just annoying—it’s a trust issue. Developers need to prioritize user privacy or risk losing players. Who thought this was a good idea?
-
TheDailyGamer (@TheDailyGamer86) reported@PlayStation @PlayStation you can’t protect your players from hackers, have **** customer service, but still have the nerve to go all digital. If digital is the future of gaming then I’m switching to @Steam which I trust way more than you.
-
nanu (@chibinanu) reported@Zoroarts @Steam skill issue tbh. make the game longer XD
-
Andsim Gaming (Andrew Simpson) (@andsim_gaming) reported@ToanChan_ @Steam ah ages verify issues just like in canada... i am afraid credit card is only option, here they just put in ban social media under 16 of age but really for older over need send id government card (mainly only id) or credit card if no way
-
kazım öğünmez (@kzmogunmez) reported@upgradepcfr @Steam Similar problem @KarenVault on X sorted it out.
-
Brenten Smith (@Brenten007) reported@EGOSOFT @Steam @GOGcom Now the game keeps ******* crashing, damn it!!! I was flying to the first gate and crashed the game just as it closed. Tried to get the error message and nothing!!!
-
DarkDesertFox (@DarkDesertFox) reported@Zoroarts @Steam People are completely missing the point of your post. The problem with a good system is people will always abuse it and ruin it for others. The fact that they are refunding your game which is only a few dollars shows how much they take advantage of it. We can't have short games?
-
MistahWolfe (@mistah_wolfe) reported@Zoroarts @Steam First of all, SUPER weird that people are trying to bully the dev for this opinion despite it being 100% justified Second, IDK how to fix this because Steam's refund Policy is SO good for gamers. So many games straight up lie these days id never buy without it
-
TextualFalls (@FallsTextual) reported@LPNintendoITA @Pirat_Nation @Steam They did for their Launcher. Problem is the game uses a third party launcher and Account so Ea Can do it.
-
Xander (@Xanguinius) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Spoken like a true corporate rat. “I put out a shallow game that can be completed in under two hours when you’re not even trying to speed run it and I think that should be the player’s problem”
