    @simonebucefalo @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

  • STILL_Unknown24 unknown (@STILL_Unknown24) reported

    @Steam is annoying I tried refunding a game and because I have over 2 hours in a game which had a problem sense I bought it and I used over 2 hours trying to fix it THEY WONT LOOK AT MY TICKET BECAUSE THE BOT SEE I HAVE OVER 2 HOURS AND AUTOMATICALLY SAYS NO. AH

  • FaynorDraco No More (@FaynorDraco) reported

    @Steam going to your support page does nothing but get me no human contact. What's the problem with some human tech support and not some crappy click through prompt. It's like you guys want to screw people over

  • 84_175 Andreas Lenz (@84_175) reported

    I've been trying to buy a game on @steam for two days now. Apparently they don't want my money. The checkout keeps failing with an "unexpected error". That's apparently what you get for not supporting the one tried and true payment method *everyone* uses in Germany.

    @Steam Hi guys, I've been trying to reach you on your support form for several days, but no reply. My email server no longer exists. Can you check my request to login to my account? HT-TKY6-FFYN-KGXT Thanks so much!

  • FaynorDraco No More (@FaynorDraco) reported

    @Steam you used to be a company that people liked, now you're nothing but a money hoarding bunch off goblins @ItsGaben sad to see your company failing to uphold quality games and customer service. Especially when your service registers the wrong time logged in game.

    @Steam_Support I've been trying to play The Witcher for 2 days now and @Steam "fails" to request a product key. Impossible to report this issue on the @Steam_Support site since they blame all technical issues on the game manufacturer... FIX IT!

  • rene_mobile René Mayrhofer (@rene_mobile) reported

    @MicrosoftHelps @Microsoft @Steam (I added this to launch arguments in Steam client) 7. Get a new launch blocker screen "Let's get you signed in", which, surprise!, doesn't do anything when clicking any buttons. 8. Aha! Alt-Enter for windowed mode and now the button is clickable. 9. Sign in, game starts. Why?????

  • fromgstock Michael Cohen (@fromgstock) reported

    @Steam @Steam, Why do you not help with password reset????? Why do you have the worst customer service???? Why do you not respond to inquiry sent through your portal and not respond to polite earlier tweets?????

    FIX YOUR GAME! @Halo @Steam Beyond sick of these crashes, it is getting worse every day, just dropped rank because back to back game crashes, then slapped with a ban from rank because of it. Guess I am done playing for tonight.

  • King_Bazil056 Chris Lopez #49erKB (@King_Bazil056) reported

    @xidaxpcs @Steam Btw I'm looking forward to any game that doesn't crash right after launch. Literally any game.
