    @Steam @OnDeck do yourself a quick search of just Twitter to see how frequent and widespread of a problem folks are having getting their Steam Decks from @FedEx. It's egregious.

  • PlacardTuPars ✨Placard, tu pars✨ (@PlacardTuPars) reported

    Also big cheers to @Steam @OnDeck @valvesoftware for choosing the worst delivery partners. And some person out there probably enjoying a free Steam Deck on me. People on the fence about buying it, honestly, buy it secondhand. Do not go through the trouble of dealing with Steam.

  • Zigurd4 Zigurd (@Zigurd4) reported

    I've been not able to make SV content lately because my steam account got hacked... At first I thought I could fix this right away with the help of @Steam services. But now my hacked steam account is still not recovered... Now I wanna ask is there any alternatives than Emulator?

    @Steam sort your **** out. Authenticated my payment and then instead of loading the confirmation, you loaded the ******* store page. I have paid my money, it's on my bank statement and yet no product. GGWP. FANTASTIC SERVICE.

  • TeasersPoster2 🌌Luis2🌠 (@TeasersPoster2) reported

    @hovasebastian @BitrichInfo @Steam there are massive monsters appearing on the screen which brings lag to your device (depending on which one

  • SamuelHulick 🎆 🌸 Samuel Hulick 🌸 🌄 (@SamuelHulick) reported

    @jessethanley @Steam I understand the logistics of what you're saying, but if a "whack structure" made Figma more money I'm pretty sure Adobe wouldn't have had a problem with that. It's not like it was an acqui-hire

    @Steam The badge is broken.

  • TeasersPoster2 🌌Luis2🌠 (@TeasersPoster2) reported

    @hovasebastian @BitrichInfo @Steam I think I can say yes, I think it's the same premise of you going through the waves of each wave (which gets worse) and more and more monsters appearing and you having to collect exp to be able to have more skills (although they are limited), but the game still has problems when

  • Heathenaspargus Heathenasparagus@OfficeTelAviv (@Heathenaspargus) reported

    >> 2)It also doesn't run on the first try. Open Steam, click NFS, Origin sometimes opens, sometimes it doesn't When it does, I sometimes have to re-login, and it does not remember my password. Click it again, it start a second instance of Origin which @Steam does not recognize >>

  • PanosGr112 Panos Gr (@PanosGr112) reported

    "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance." Is it a valve issue or its something on my end 2 hours and support still hasn't responded @OnDeck @Steam_Support @Steam

  • Jashba270 Jessica (@Jashba270) reported

    Hey @DisneyDLV - why is @Steam asking me to agree to install the game when I played earlier today? Is there a glitch on your end or theirs? I am loving this game so much, I want to play!!!

  • EmpirePortugal RetroGajo, o fundador do DaniEmpire (@EmpirePortugal) reported

    @Steam Good afternoon, I get Access Denied Refference Code 18. I tried to enter Steam website and I was given with this code. Please solve this issue.

  • BrittTheFurry BrittTheFurry (@BrittTheFurry) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support HOW tf does a knock-off cheap PS4 controller without a firmware, or any software at all, manage to crash Steam so hard that SteamVR get's disabled and a key component breaks???

  • Elmsnare Elmsnare (@Elmsnare) reported

    @Steam Fix the badge please, the new discovery queue feature is bugged for many people.

  • phoenixn91 Dracullaeus Crimson 👑 | 🎧 Project Harmonize 🎧 (@phoenixn91) reported

    @Steam Actually considered buying it, but damn it if the store would freaking let me buy it, and not give me a damn error message each time I try buying it (sadly changing payment methods won't work either, not like it should even matter what someone uses as long it has money on it)

    @EAHelp @Steam @Steam_Support I spent $120 on Fifa 23 Ultimate Edition on PC and can't even launch the game because of the EA anti cheat errors. I have done all troubleshooting methods but nothing works. Just want my money back, I have not redeemed any DLC I purchased.

  • ThyBeastKing ThyBeastKing (@ThyBeastKing) reported

    @Steam my account got hacked into, went to try to go sign in to change the password, can't read my email or my password. So i did the natural thing and tried to go through the "can't sign in?" Stuff and now apparently my email doesn't exist, and I haven't been getting any emails-

  • Smegging_Hell The Doctor (@Smegging_Hell) reported

    I'm really disappointed in FedEx's service. I wish that @Steam would stop using them to deliver Steam Decks. They are unreliable, and cannot keep posted delivery dates. Also, with reports of stolen Decks, I'm even more uncomfortable. It was supposed to be my birthday gift.
