Levi Benoit (@lildeviousdude) reported@Steam @Steam_Support Steam is inaccessible in the profile selection screen without a mouse. Can you guys fix this? I can use spacebar AND enter to select the options bar and even remove the account, but I can’t sign in. Actual L right here
-
RickTrajan (@RickTrajan) reported@gaersstapa @Zoroarts @Steam The problem with this mindset is it encourages prolonging a game rather than doing what it's meant to do (telling a story, good multiplayer setup, or whatever a game you want it to be). It's like word count on essays, vehicles being predominantly suvs and trucks in US, etc.

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)
-
Sammy Snivels (@john_baker7) reported@flatspritehits @QNDZYcom @Steam Thats because steam doesnt own the game either, once a game is unavailable or shut down steam can only issue you a refund out of their pocket, they cant charge the developer. The main reason is not because they want to keep you money, but because bots buy shut down games to scam

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.

SpoocleMacBoogle (@spoocle) reported@Zoroarts @Steam This is so stupid, I just can't. With one tweet, he decided to screw over both buyers and short-game developers at the same time. Your refund rate is tied exclusively to your game! I've been making short games for years, and all of my decent games have a refund rate of 5–7%. Games that are less interesting or worse have a much higher rate. It has nothing to do with length. This is not a widespread issue like you're trying to make it out to be — and you only have ONE such review, after all. Moreover, God forbid Steam listens to you or anyone like you in the future. That would immediately hit short games first. So you want a buyer to take a risk buying a short game from an unknown developer, and on top of that, also have to deal with some refund hassle? Well, congratulations — now they'll think twice before buying such a game. And this is despite the fact that, I repeat, this is not a widespread problem. But I'm sure you know that, and you stirred all this up just to boost your sales, just like other devs did before you. Buddy, you've already made enough money, okay? Why act like evil buyers are exploiting the Steam system and ruining a poor developer with hundreds of thousands of sales? You've made small games yourself before. What, not enough money? Why turn into an AAA company and attack people who have the right to refunds? What's wrong with you? @Zoroarts
-
Kamina (@nogal909) reported@TheWarTank_YT @Zoroarts @Steam Yeah, if they feel what they paid was too much and they're in time for a refund I'd have 0 problems, since I respect my consumers (I'm a dev btw and 0 problems with this).

❕ (@howlverine) reportedthanks @Steam for sending me the same paraphrased copy & paste that completely ignores my explanation AND questions for the 2nd time. i thought i would have a good experience with your support service cause of how people glaze it all the time but oh well
-
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
-
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
-
Utkarsh Sai Sidhardh K (@Utkarsh_sai_K) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam I’ve purchased quite a few games through Steam and have supported many Ubisoft titles over the years. Gaming is something I rarely get time for, and I usually only play when I have a longer period to properly relax. That’s why this situation has been particularly overwhelming and disappointing. I currently can’t access games I’ve paid for, and it has also made me hesitant to purchase any more Ubisoft titles until this issue is resolved. I genuinely hope someone can help me get this sorted.

CAPS LOCK (@CAPS_LOCK_ON_X) reportedSteam Road to Vostok More gameplay issues Guns repeatedly jamming at the worst possible time, even ones with high durability ratings, especially when carrying lots of valuable items ["synced"] @Steam @Steam_Support @roadtovostok

🏴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.
-
AureusCrush (@AureusCrush) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Idk man feels like you could just idk, make a slightly longer/more challenging game and your issue would be resolved.
-
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.

-
N'Tsuki Tia (@NTsuki_Tia) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Look, I undertand how it's a problem for you, and a seriously one, but, don't be that person, is not a nice posture to take. Steam refunds used to allow a longer time, them were reduced to 4 hours, and now 2, it sucks people still being able to abuse that, but many games (1/2)
-
Artofmusic (@ArttomusicYay) reported@Zoroarts @Steam You have 1 level what do you expect.... make a longer game can't expect everyone to play for an hour and keep it. Come on its not steams issue.. I have been making games for over 26 years alone. Can't complain if someone beats it in the 2 hours. Thats on you not @Steam
-
Rickey Pendarvis (@rickeyp2121) reported@EatPantGames It unfortunate that @PlayStation idiocy is causing problems like this for small indie teams and games. Obviously not everyone can do physical release. @Steam has proven they are trustworthy with digital for decades. Hope people support you over there. I will 👍
-
Abandoned Account 🏴 🇬🇧 (@Abandac123) reported@Dexerto While @Steam's refunding system is the gold standard for consumers, it's not without its issues. There should be additional rules on the length of gameplay. Like, if u reach 1/4 of the game or the 2 hour window. That's fair. @Steam_Support

James M ✝🇻🇦 🇮🇪 (@Jimmay94) reported@Steam Im more of a fan of being allowed to login to the account I own with my games without being dicked around, too bad steam can't do that it seems
-
🔞AeyerLock🔞 (Commission Open) 1/3 (@Aeyerlock) reported@_Lukaerd @Zoroarts @Steam i saw that as a problem but there would need to be an appeal process to prove that the developer implemented a scam. That or perhaps developers need to provide proof when and how the achievemnent is aquired and needs to be tested where it functions normally.
-
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...
-
Morgan Devreaux (@MorganDevreaux) reportedHe is the most evil of evil and the most overpowered annoying dumb and stank character ever. #victorisoverparty because there’s no reason for him to exsist the way he does in this damn game. Because WHY does he have stank aura!! @valvesoftware @Steam @IntelDeadlock FIX THIS
-
Lord Tech (@mts_22natoo) reported@TheDailyGamer86 @PlayStation @Steam Hi there 👋🏾 What's seems to be the problem with your PlayStation account?
-
Shedewff🐀 (@Shedewff1) reported@Zoroarts @Steam make a game worth keeping after people finish it idk this is NOT a common problem
-
The Tea Virus (@TheTeaVirus) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Sorry no. Just make your game take longer than 2 hours to beat. You're not the first one with this issue but this is a great policy for consumer rights. I'll never buy a game from someone trying to change that.
