Royal Ryoto (@royalfort100) reportedI had my account hacked by some random guy on steam a while back around 2024, Well i contacted steam and they got me my account back within a day but also gave me a free 100 dollars for the trouble I just wanted to make this post because steam is awesome @Steam yall are goats!
-
Zenzen (@zenzen65935550) reported@Moonie__OS @Steam Just consider it a historical game. Problem solved.
-
Ylliaster (@Ylliaster) reported@BeatSaber Worst case scenario: @Steam , @Steam_Support if whoever made Beat Saber have broken their game so it's unplayable on older hardware, how do I refund the gifter of the game?
-
Pathos (@DreamRemnants) reported@EA @Steam probably should have extended refund period if this is a known issue.
-
Jeremy Wood (@excitedpixels) reported@Steam @Steam_Support do you have a random shipment generator for orders as it seems you are shipping the steam controllers randomly. I ordered at 57 just before, and my wife's at 18 past because you were broken for her. It's Def not in any kind of order which seems unfair. :(
-
mr orange (@streamingdeluxe) reported@Tyretes @valvesoftware @Steam Not helpi g with error
-
Vedant Kalore (@VedantKalore) reported@choehau_ara @Steam @Steam_Support So then they should fix it.... As their consoles run Linux afterall
-
Eldritch Boggart (@EldritchBoggart) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Fix your payment system. Broken system so everyone missed out on the pathetically low quantity of controllers you provided for purchase.
-
RarelyBarelyGaming (@Barelygaming0) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck That is a broken system. Valve knows the base, how you not ganna make enough.... Wut.
-
Austin Maithya (@austin_is_fly) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam_Support @Steam My accounts have been compromised and I have tried recovery and it is not working kindly assist
-
Frank🇺🇸 (@C50_FC) reported@fr33thytweaks @Steam If the problem is the hardware, a firmware update isn’t gonna change anything lol
-
Powercheif (@Powercheif) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck I was able to get through the error message and purchase it.
-
Adam Orand (@King_INF3RN0) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Only took 50 minutes of spamming the continue button. Maybe some launch-day payment processing server allocation? Monday at noon pacific is a low time for gaming, might as well, right? Gonna need to fix this for the Machine and Frame...
-
Thorne (@ThorneAbrams) reported@AntiFurVoreGore @valvesoftware @Steam "Fairness" isn't getting special treatment because you've been a user for a long time. It’s everyone having the same 1-unit limit so the scalpers you’re complaining about can’t drain the stock. You’re asking to be part of the problem.
-
Patrick (@Judokast) reported@Smthingedgy I've never once had a problem with @Steam . From refunds to technical problems whatever and do you know what other company I can say that about these days? NONE, the ******* answer is NONE! Gabe fulfilled the social contract. He gave us what we need and want, he gets a yacht.
-
Conker T. Squirrel (@Conker64_) reportedAll the piracy issue could've been solved if only you publish games on the @Steam platform. It's really not that hard, you'll gain a lot of loyal supporters if you switch to publishing more games on Steam. @valvesoftware solved this piracy issue before when no corporation did it.
-
RetroGamingish (@RetroG96187) reported@litteralyme0 @Steam support is excellent. I had a problem once and they went above and beyond to fix it for me. Legends.
-
Sigma The Fox (@SigmaTheFox) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam clearing steam's download cache does not fix "games not starting" issues at all, ubisoft. it only deletes what is currently being downloaded... Why would a game that relies on your useless launcher not start because of a download happening on steam, when it's ready to play?
-
Stephanie George (@GeorgeStep18720) reported@OKarma_OK @Steam @Steam_Support Just a heads up MillerNerd1 can fix this.
-
Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen (@TheVisitorSNAFU) reported@GooningOnRumble @Steam Did stream also crash? Some delisted products if gifted from an inventory won’t work and can crash the system. Also is the game sold in the West or is it an Asian game like Dead Or Alive volleyball?
-
transphobic racist (@nodanteowo) reported@Moonie__OS @Steam Everything in order, see no issues
-
Chris Thompson (@TehadmireChris) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Tried to buy, checkout was broken, now sold out 😭
-
ViDEOGOMEZ (@videogomez) reported@Null1130250 @valvesoftware @Steam They've had YEARS to fix their international supply problems, I had to buy my Steam Deck from a third party just because I live a few kilometers below Texas.
-
Samuel Williams (@SamuelWill64467) reported@OKarma_OK @Steam @Steam_Support I had this issue and ADCGSECURE took care of it.
-
PatriotCentral (@patriot_central) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck It is server overload, dummy. Nothing was broken. You are just retarded.
-
titan.holo (@TitanHoloCS) reported@nobullet4u @Steam no problem 🙏
-
Creo (@Creo_exe) reportedAlright I need to talk about the customer support over at @valvesoftware and @Steam That **** goes SO HARD. Like, idk what y'all are teaching your employees, but keep that going. EVERY time I've needed ANYTHING you've always been a great help. This is why I use your service.
-
Vista Larga Games | ᯅ (@VistaLargaGames) reported@GiveMeBanHammer @Steam needs to fix this
-
kayseed (@kayseeed) reported@Feeh_LacerdaS @studiozaum @Steam the specific sentiment was regarding the individuals on the team who were the sole reason the issues came to happen in the first place. don't be obtuse
-
Cobalt ಠ_ಠ Azurean (@CobaltAzurean) reported@PlayWarframe It's probably not you, it's probably the @Steam problems that got reported earlier
