  • Clutchrules42 Rufus Stevens (@Clutchrules42) reported

    @Steam So I've been trying to simply create an account with you guys, and it's not working. Then I try to find some customer support to help, and all you have is a FAQ page, which isn't helping my problem. SUPER frustrating!

    @Steam @BigAntStudios my friend can't gift me #cricket22 please fix it asap

    Hello @Steam @steam_support. I come to you during drastic times. I am having trouble redeeming a steam gift card with a value of 50 USD. My steam username is tonytoca05 / FireOfPies and i've created a ticket through the Steam Support system Thanks for any support.

  • RobynDaVixen Robyn Reinhard (@RobynDaVixen) reported

    @SteamSupport10 @SteamSupport9 @Steam I ran into a hacker in Black Ops 3 Multiplayer today. When I went to go report him on the Steam Client, nothing popped up but a box with a loading circle. I did some poking around and noticed others were having similar issues since 2019.

  • domso1o dom. (@domso1o) reported

    just wanna give a shoutout to @Steam . their return policy is goated and really is some of the best customer service i've dealt with.

    @MunchConor @Steam I was recommended to @Quick_restore. He was able to recover my hacked account in less than an hour. He is legit and highly recommended for the service. Go contact him now to get your account back

  • dan__brummitt DANIEL BRUMMITT (@dan__brummitt) reported

    My son crashed #Windows10 during an update; received the blue screen of death, done everything logical to fix, I think it's a blessing in disguise, cuz we're gonna install @Steam OS now. 😎 #Debian #Gaming

  • Namaslays Jewel (@Namaslays) reported

    @Gaiscioch @playnewworld @Steam I think the issue is more so not with HOW many total are playing but how many servers are suffering with under 1000 people playing per. Most under 500 playing per. Once they can figure out better merges and higher caps it will be in a better place.

  • BinklieArt Jim (@BinklieArt) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam #steamsupport my account has been hacked and they changed the email so I can’t sign in to open a ticket. I need to know how to recover my account. The person is messaging people from my account and my card is linked to the account. Please help.

  • MinlorDev Minlor (@MinlorDev) reported

    @xidaxpcs @Steam I would say that my favourite game is OneShot but since I'm too lazy to explain why I'll just say Skyrim e because it has a massive open world and it's just funny because it's broken

  • wawawasimo wawawasimo (@wawawasimo) reported

    @Steam .... then play an Epic game instead? If @Steam is so bad, and you already got it for free on Epic then what's the problem here? Or do you want some cool achievements and badges too and not pay a thing?

  • LidarTV Lidar (@LidarTV) reported

    @AkimboPK @Steam Look at your "Years of Service" badge to see how long you have been a member.

  • Spicy_Pacifist No (@Spicy_Pacifist) reported

    @Steam When are you going to fix your servers? I can't even open steam, as it just crashes the second I open it, and if I try again it bricks my computer until I restart it

    @GameeHoo @Steam You’ve got to be careful who you contact for help cause not everyone mentioned in the comments section is actually out to help. If you’re having any trouble with your account and you need help i can only suggest you reach out @utopiantechh, that’s the only person I’m sure of

    Is anyone else having issues with @Steam gift cards? Went to apply the funds of a card to my account around 10:30am and it wouldn’t work, so I tried again around 6:45pm and it still isn’t working? It hasn’t been used, and the code was just revealed this morning.

  • SnaggsPanda Snaggs (@SnaggsPanda) reported

    Apparently, @Steam believes it is totally ok to sell customers a faulty product (DMCA issues) and not only fail to automatically offer refunds on take-down but deny refunds to anyone who waits a while in good faith to see if the take-down was an error/temporary problem.

    @KIWF_Game @Steam I'm using an elite 2 controller with this and when I disconnect my controller mid game it just says xbox one controller. Has anyone had the same? TIA
