Xenos (Ambassador Of Indie Games) (@WrenchOfChaos) reported@PotatoCrispDip @Steam I agree that's on them for submitting a short game and acting surprised when they happened, you really just shouldn't submit a short game to Steam in it's current state if you don't want returns, but that doesn't mean it's still a problem that Steam should (and can) fix.

silbirobi (@silbirobi) reported@fopsy74 @Steam @Steam_Support Can confirm, same problem 😬
-
Dont Askem Eh (@DontAskemeh) reportedI use to grind trophies back in the day, I will agree with the sound as it hits different & they're at least set in stone. Steam overall is better EXCEPT when they get ruined by devs adding random achievements years later. Categories for DLC would be an easy fix, js @Steam.

ragegun (@_ragegun) reported@Timebringer @Steam As it is, 2 hours is barely enough time to try and troubleshoot, if you have issues launching a game... and it already encourages you to refund if the game essentially isn't working properly on your machine.

🏴Obscure outpost podcast🐦 (@Obscure_Outpost) reported@ItzPuddleJumper @Steam Steam deck uses steam os which uses arch Linux as a base,Arch is a cutting edge rolling operating system so updates can break it usually they put the fix for it on archs website.

Ranman (@SonofRanman) reported@Steam Will Microphone Audio get fixed in game clips any time soon? There's been reports of clipping and microphone issues since Game Reccording Launched, and I'm still struggling to not sound blown out even after hours of messing with settings.

JustAGamer (@JustAGamer929) reported@Steam you need to figure out your download speed throttling. I have fiber and just cannot use it for your games. Battlenet doesn’t have this issue. The same 38 gig update there finished in 12 minutes. Yours took an hour. Unacceptable

CC (@bullzwool) reported@InternetH0F I’m sure they’ve had a problem with @Steam all this time… maybe I just haven’t heard abt it 🤔

Willem (@willemt1981) reported@GamingCentral26 The subscription isn't the issue. It's ownership and recovery. Digital libraries only work if verified owners can regain access after a compromise. @Steam has shown this is possible for years.
-
Rogue Wolf (@Spi3000) reported@ImCadeYT @Steam Despite positivities from Steam Customer Service, Valve (from my experience) takes time for E-Mail or Support Ticket claims, usually a day's time. If you sent the E-Mail today, give it time. Until then grab every document you can, especially purchase information.

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?

Tappin (@t4ppin) reportedFix your game please add elo rollback for cheater games. The amount of cheaters is disgusting and your killing your game by allowing this to happen. Just played against two blatant hackers and lost -450 cause of it. @valvesoftware @Steam @CounterStrike

Witchmaster (@Witchmaster) reported@SurvivalGN @ConanExiles @Steam The biggest issues in most survival games of its generation, are to assume PvP can carry interest long term. NEW CONTENT was provided by Modding. But they need something to work with. Gamers need experiences, encounters, mysteries. And do something with what's there. Stagnant 🤬

Cogglesz (@ColinEspMusic) reported@Tardgrde @ImCadeYT @Steam Be careful buddy. Seriously. I noticed with the controllers my reservation was due November 26' So guess what? I've already got it in my hands, a week ago i checked the controller page again to see if my reservation was still active and it literally told me i had 2 days left to buy the thing or i'll lose my (Nov 26') reservation. You'd think, They'd email people who got pushed ahead yeah? No..Not one pop up, not one email telling me the controller was available for purchase. If it wasn't for me wanting to check my status on the controllers store page i'd have lost my reservation and been screwed into 2027. I'm absolutely positive this is happening with the hardware too. I put in a purchase request the same day they announced the steam controllers on the store page (and influencers already had reviews up day 1) So, Not only did i have to spend money prior to when i wanted to? I'm sure there are people who live paycheque to paycheque that can't just spend $100 on a whim. They didn't even notify me with an email or in-steam UI pop ups which they should do for things like this. I really advise everyone checks their hardware orders daily on steam or at least emails about reservations, it's the only way to prevent reservations slipping through our hands because we take a break or are too busy IRL. I've been with valve since 2007 and even bought the V1 controller & Steam Link back in 2015. The quality of service has severely been hampered by Valve selling these things on their own storefront which didn't give me a heads up at all. Be careful!!!!

Chris (@no1089) reported@Steam and @FrameworkPuter 's 3rd parties being hacked days apart - exposing all my personal details is just great. Thank you both for your concern regarding the incident. I feel really valued as a customer. /s "Expect fake messages - email, SMS or phone - that mention your hardware order and appear to come from Steam, Valve or a delivery company. They may quote your address back to you to prove they're genuine. They may ask you to confirm a delivery, pay a small customs or redelivery fee, or sign in somewhere to “verify” your order. Treat all of them as fake."

AllahingMutant (@AllahingMutant) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Skill issue. Your game is the equivalent of a fat chick that puts out on the first date and is a lousy lay on top of that. If people aren't coming back for seconds, that's on you.

PaLM AI - $PALM (@palmaierc) reportedMajor Announcement - Fall 2026 This fall, our local AI harness that rivals everything else currently on the market, root, is going to be shipped as a software product over to @Steam. 1) Publishing the application on Steam will remove the need for a separate signature on the executable. 2) Steam has become the go-to for gaming & creativity related software tools, which goes hand-in-hand with root. 3) Wide accessibility. You acquire it once, and it is yours forever. The Steam Version will not support any cryptocurrency features and all sales revenue will be registered to the Web2 side of our business. It will also be restricted and controlled according to the Terms of Service of Steam and other agreements that the company may become liable to, including a refund policy. We will keep the community updated on the status of the publication. Expect it to happen within a few months. Thank you for your support.

Jamie (@Jximiee) reported@martis_off @Steam I’ve had this problem before, try signing out of all devices after resetting your password that did the trick for me. Once you’ve done that reverse all the trades and you should be sweet.

Gærsstapa (@gaersstapa) reported@allefornication @Zoroarts @Steam Well that's the thing, replayability does include wasting the players time, but the player doesn't mind because usually they unlock new things (skills, characters, cards, paths, etc). Blue Prince is a good example- 1 going through of the game is fairly short, however through subsequent playthroughs you unlock new cards/rooms and this opens up new paths of progression. Now in a slop game, which are highly focused on online/co-op experiences, they are generally short, a round of Meccha Chameleon lasts like 10 minutes all together, and that's it, games done. However the reason players keep going back is because of that online experience, which in itself creates new adventures and paths and opportunities. Now you've gone from 10 minutes, to 2, 5, 10+ hours of gameplay all on the same short loop and a handful of maps. And this game apparently does not have that replayability factor, if I were the dev, even though I've had a highly successful launch (most indies sell about 2000 copies on average I think) selling many hundreds of thousands of copies, even with that high refund rate, I would sit there and try and figure out why people are refunding firstly, and secondly why is my player count low. Are those things I can fix or are they things for me to learn going into my next game. And its ok btw, I had to make dozens of demos, and game jam games before I had an idea that was solid enough for people to play. So on that one fair do's to him, however you don't ask for a system to be upended on the basis of a handful of reviews that took the piss against potentially many others that refunded because they thought your game sucked. So when I say pad it out that does not just mean add **** for shits sake, which is what people think because they aren't developers, but it also means how can I create a more engaging gameplay loop, how do I attract my target audience, how do I keep them having fun. And if you haven't answered these questions, what are you doing. And gameplay loops btw aren't long, they are often anywhere from a minute to 10-20 minutes. Break down any game that you've played and you realise this is the case, even open world games when you might get dozens to hundreds of hours of game time.
