    @Steam_Support @Steam Why can you not fix the client to be able to purchase DLC. The BS error that you already have one of these is not helpful and needs to be fixed. Now i have to wait an hour before i can even TRY to give you money. Fix your S. #fail

  • TheLeftFamily Patrick Yves (@TheLeftFamily) reported

    @Steam is a gaming platform that I've been on for years. They sell adult games and I have no issues with that. They are currently selling a hentai game promoting #**** and **** culture. I will link the game in the comments. DO NOT OPEN if your well-being cannot handle.

  • Joachim8675309 Joaquin Menchaca (@Joachim8675309) reported

    @Steam #Steam client application is so broken. The UI is completely unresponsove. Downloads just hangs forever and doesn't do anything. When the UI did work, the Downloads had problems, where it was difficult to control, no easy was to schedule hpdates, stop updates, etc

  • thebl4ckd0g Chris aka Blackdog (@thebl4ckd0g) reported

    Anybody know how to fix @Steam "Xbox Driver Installation" error "driver update failed, is Steam running as a normal user and is the Steam service running and up to date?" - I've tried removing the function, restarting STEAM, re-adding it; tried reinstalling the drivers manually.

  • GodEntropy EntropyTheGod (@GodEntropy) reported

    @Steam fix your recovery email. I’m not getting any of them and I’m tryna get back into my account!!!

  • joanblu2 joanblu (@joanblu2) reported

    @Steam @Murugiah_ @MikeMirandi So since the Steam Deck is coming soon I'll let you know about a problem. When you switch a game from Windows to Linux, the save files are won't move to the Linux version. So that might be an incovenient that you might wanna fix for better user experience. Best wishes.

    ye I'm upset because @Steam is doing that endless "extracting package" thing again and I've been trying to fix it all day lol

  • ArumaStudios Aruma Studios 🚶‍♀️ Intruder in Antiquonia (@ArumaStudios) reported

    @DctrElectro @Steam A lot of that depends on the tags you choose for your game. I spent a whole week doing trial and error, trying to figure out the right set of tags so steam would relate my game to games I myself consider similar. I never managed to get more than 2 or 3 that are actually similar.

    @Funcom @Steam it is useless to place offers. nobody wants to spend more money on your products. you are unable to solve problems and the only thing you can do is ban players. they are all stopping playing conan exiles because of you.

  • esspeearr The Manager of The Festive Hotel Bastardos (@esspeearr) reported

    I don't know how they've done it but @Steam have taken a game that's worked for *years* (HL2 Ep1) and broken it, during the stage of evacuating citizens to the trains. *slow hand clap*
