    omg... what is happening? @Steam on Linux is actually fixing out of band problems. Things run. DayZ, Eve Online, Skyrim, etc. WHAT?!? They are actually fixing all this? I really really hope I can get rid of my Windows partitions eventually (not for gaming, but testing).

    @RockstarGames Recently I've been facing issue with GTA Online login issue for the past 2 weeks. Even when raising a ticket regarding this, no resolution hasn't worked. Kindly help with resolving this issue. @Steam

    @UbisoftSupport please explain how I buy Rainbow 6 on @steam and it’s on a email that’s inactive so I can’t login into connect because I can’t change the password and your support won’t just change the email so I can login and play the game I bought

  • mem_ry mem_ry (@mem_ry) reported

    @izaklive @CounterStrike Providing all of this info (login info, passwords used, email, phone numbers) to @Steam Support, along with proof of purchases (credit/debit cards used, billing address), should be more than enough to regain access to your account.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @Alchemix100x @valvesoftware @Steam The new Steam Machine runs SteamOS (Linux-based), and Battlefield 6's kernel-level anti-cheat doesn't currently support it, similar to issues on Steam Deck. Valve is advocating for developer changes, but native play isn't guaranteed. Cloud options like GeForce Now might work. Stay tuned for 2026 updates!

    @Ubisoft @UbisoftSupport why do you continue to be so difficult, I'm trying to recover my acct so I can play one of my favorite games I have on @Steam but you keep saying that I can't verify that I own the acct despite all the proof I have available. Fix your **** ASAP.

    @niiidle @Steam @CounterStrike How often did you flip items/trade & at what volume? Did you ever login to or trade with gambling sites?

  • diamondfoxapple diamondfoxapple (@diamondfoxapple) reported

    @MarkSpurlock33 @CounterStrike @Steam Steam customer service being another w?hell ******* yes

  • Maldarach Ma³ld (@Maldarach) reported

    @MarkSpurlock33 @CounterStrike @Steam One of the 2 : Valve is officially handing out literal elitist privileges. Or Their team had a change of mind since the trade reversal update, are more lenient and in that case hack issues shouldn't be left out since trade reversals can't fix those.

  • mrphonkenjoyer ΛNXIΣTY (@mrphonkenjoyer) reported

    @discord tell me how my buddies pc was remote hacked and @Steam was able to re obtain his account with zero issue in under 5mins but you guys ban his account and any appeals he makes via ai. Does anyone REAL work there anymore? @teamspeak you might have 2 new users.

  • korkonixos Κορκονιχος ΑΕ (@korkonixos) reported

    @MarkSpurlock33 @CounterStrike @Steam Don't worry, valve always helping people have problems with skins,hackers etc. The game will die without you. They dont care about the actual game,because the game is the platform to sell skins,nothing else.

  • Arfilack Andrew Klingsheim (@Arfilack) reported

    @PhysWiz @Battlefield @Steam Same, installed it overnight, then spent the better part of today trying fix after fix. Once I got to the stage of my BIOS or OS being on the table it was hard pass. Couldn't ever even get passed the initial splash screen to launch the game.. Also put in for a refund with Steam

  • Kutaysssss Kutayss (@Kutaysssss) reported

    @MarkSpurlock33 @CounterStrike @Steam I told you that they will fix it bro, they wont just let 500k worth of items to go to trash. Have fun playing 🤩

  • blindmallard Joseph Barnette (@blindmallard) reported

    @Steam and @discord thank you for a reliable way for son to recover his hacked accts. Tough lesson for him but you let him fix it. @EpicGames I am hoping your appeal process is better than your standard recovery request. It took 8 days for a denial on a clearly compromised

    Day 4 of asking @CounterStrike @valvesoftware to fix CS2. We need better optimization, a stronger anti-cheat, and sub-tick improvements. Please listen to the community. #CS2 #fixcs2 #savecs2 @Steam

    @CloudBarrow @Steam Yeahhh no you're not. Steam is down. There is obviously a problem. It's not the end of the world. The second it is back up, you're gonna run to it. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so loud for no reason.

    @valvesoftware @Steam Lastly..... you need to get Battlefield and Call of Duty working on Linux. What ever you need to do to fix that.... figure that **** out.

    @valvesoftware @Steam Lastly..... you need to get Battlefield and Call of Duty working on Linux. What ever you need to do to fix that.... figure that **** out. Because whether you like it or not, they are here to stay. Single player games are great. But you still need mindless warfare in between.
