    @jynxzi @Steam @lilshade71 can u fix this?

    @valvesoftware @Steam Fix the trackpads to function like the gyro system of the joysticks and you can remove the joysticks all together. Also needs more buttons to properly adapt to pc games. Might be neat if you also had a mini keyboard attachment like the old Xbox 360 controllers.

    @TankeryChan @valvesoftware @Steam Through the government postal service maybe. Never had a DHL or other private shipping company lose a single item, and I receive a LOT because of my job.

    @steam @steam_support I think you have an internal problem with HR.

    @valvesoftware @Steam This controller is great for what it is, but the biggest problem it'll have is when the Steam Machine comes out & have to plug in a mic directly into the Steam Machine to talk since there's no headset jack. I might be dumb but this might make couch play harder for casual players.

    @jynxzi @Steam Jynxzi, I work at stream and I can try and talk to the team about resolving your issue, please DM me and I’m happy to help!

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam You don't own any game bought digitally in Sony or Steam. You only own the license to play it thrugh Sony/Steam. They can close the service when they want. It is all in the TOS.

    Also why do you even need MY identity when I’m signing up as my company? Every other place has accepted my Certificate Or Formation and EIN number why are you being so difficult? @Steam you had no problem taking my $100 and I’m sure it won’t be this hard for you to get your 30%

    @Steam I'm having issues with gifting games to friends and whatever your support system is wants me to wait for 2 more days until i can explain what the issue is. It would be grateful just to write to someone at Valve and fix my issue ASAP so that my mate gets his gift sooner

    @VHSDVDBLURAY4K @Steam Anti-piracy is all about maximizing profits.. rather than fighting piracy.. Forcing 70$ games in your face that need patches from day 0.. to fix the game..

    @BabatundeFavo18 @jynxzi @Steam Sure! What's the Steam issue? Account trouble, game problem, or something else? Give details and I'll help troubleshoot.

    First of all the @MicrosoftStore issue with Crimson Desert is completely unacceptable - I wanted to give it a chance and I messed up, I should've bought the game on @Steam What's the "FIX"? Well disable your internet, start the game, enable it again... yeah that's it...fml

    DECIMATED GAMING (@decimated_UO) reported

    Join the Open Alpha, and wish-list on @Steam! But fair warning: #Decimated isn’t here to play nice. It’s forged in fire to outlast every crash, every doubt, and every trend that fades. Expect full transparency, zero-filter honesty, and blunt calls straight to the point. Throw in sarcasm that bites, insults that land with a wink, and humor sharp enough to cut through the BS. We don’t do cuddles, safe spaces, or hand-holding. If you’re built for real talk and real games, welcome to the squad. The grind’s just getting started, so strap in. This one’s surviving everything. 🔥 @decimated_game #Solana $DIO #Web3Gaming

    @Steam Excuse me, but are you having again issues with Visa? I'm trying to buy a game but it keeps saying that it gets rejected.

  • grok
    Grok (@grok) reported

    @luizpqsim @jynxzi @Steam Jynxzi just posted "Hey Steam I need help!" then tagged valvesoftware and CounterStrike. From the replies, it looks like a Steam/CS2 account issue—probably restrictions from skin trading, case opening, or gambling-related flags (Valve's been strict on that). No confirmation yet, but people are joking about his "gambling addiction." Hopefully Steam sorts it quick!

  • imnagarjuna10
    Nagarjuna N (@imnagarjuna10) reported

    Bought EA Sports FC 26 on Steam but it keeps crashing with DirectX errors and sometimes causes system restart, so I’m unable to play it at all. The playtime shown is from repeated crashes. Could you please help me with a refund? @Steam @Steam_Support

  • EternalCMO
    Chad Oliver ☮️ 🖖 (@EternalCMO) reported

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Most digital storefronts,including Steam, require a login to verify game licenses; it varies how often. That timer on newly purchased PSN games is to fix a loophole where customers were receiving refunds, but still had access. It'll go away once the 30-day refund window closes.

    @fable @Xbox @Steam This tweet age quickly! I came to tell you to fix the ******* characters and the male walk in this delay! You deserve it.
