-
Machete Paul (@Machete_Paul_) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I've put 5 hours into A Webbing Journey and most of that was before they added real stuff to do. Just ******* with the physics was entertaining enough to earn 3 hours from me. Sounds like a skill issue homie.
-
Priya Sharma (@priyasharmiyi) reported@monteslu @Steam_Support @Steam controller issues are rough
-
Foresight20/20 (@Foresight20_20) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Lack of replay ability is the problem here, if your game is good people will keep it to replay it. Or make it longer, you will always find people that abuse the system but doesn't mean we should ruin it for everyone else.
-
Mikodaud (@Mikodaud) reported@JagerBomba890 @ChibiReviews @Steam We migrate to the platforms that dont have this problem,you can stay and get goyslopped freely,i dont care.
-
Azzys Design Works (@AzzyDesignWorks) reported@ntbrown01 @Steam I have a 2nd gen MS Surface that I want to turn into a portable steam machine. Problem is going to be cracking it open to replace the battery.

Loathinq | ♡ M ♡ (@ImLoathinq) reportedIs anyone having issues loading into Apex on Steam? I can't get passed the initializing stage. @PlayApex @Steam

oNo_The_Gamer 🇵🇷🏙️🎮 (@ono_the_gamer) reported@UbisoftSupport there wouldn't be a problem if it was offered for free on @Steam. hope this helps 👍🏽
-
𝕮𝖗𝖎𝖘𝖒𝖚 (@crismu17) reported@ArmaPlatform @Steam Game still broken on Xbox 😭
-
RedBeardedJoe (@RedBeardedJoe) reported@Mikeparkerz @Zoroarts @Steam The issue is thought if you drag it out for too long and people notice no thought into it or its the same as before people go im done anyways you didnt add anything of Value to it too extend it so we should have a Smallish game Refund system and the 2 hour limit one

PaLM AI - $PALM (@palmaierc) reportedMajor Announcement - Fall 2026 This fall, our local AI harness that rivals everything else currently on the market, root, is going to be shipped as a software product over to @Steam. 1) Publishing the application on Steam will remove the need for a separate signature on the executable. 2) Steam has become the go-to for gaming & creativity related software tools, which goes hand-in-hand with root. 3) Wide accessibility. You acquire it once, and it is yours forever. The Steam Version will not support any cryptocurrency features and all sales revenue will be registered to the Web2 side of our business. It will also be restricted and controlled according to the Terms of Service of Steam and other agreements that the company may become liable to, including a refund policy. We will keep the community updated on the status of the publication. Expect it to happen within a few months. Thank you for your support.

Levi Benoit (@lildeviousdude) reported@Steam @Steam_Support Steam is inaccessible in the profile selection screen without a mouse. Can you guys fix this? I can use spacebar AND enter to select the options bar and even remove the account, but I can’t sign in. Actual L right here
-
CatMan (@Epik_S07) reported@Steam on browser its work fine problem in client
-
Apocalypse (@SE_Apocalypse) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Have you ever thought to find other devs with similar nice and short games and release them as compilation instead? You avoid that 2 hours issue that way. 21% refund rate ... still sounds like most people who enjoy the game do want to give you money for it. 11% goes to charity.
-
cracinlac (@burnme121107) reported@Chriss_m @Zoroarts @Steam do you watch a movie and then demand your money back because it was only an hour and a half long? and clearly the quality of the game isnt a problem because people are literally saying they enjoyed it but still refunding it. its bad for the developer who is a person with needs
-
Witchmaster (@Witchmaster) reported@SurvivalGN @ConanExiles For me, the move to UE5 sounded like a bad move. While I do use @Steam to play this, I'm also on Linux which has had a history of issues running Unreal 5 content. I decided to try it out and it just would not run. I restored to the UE4 version frustrated.

👾アイリーン👾 (@Ladybug_bu) reported🫵😡 @grok @Steam @Steam_Support I made an account on EA App and another on Steam — everything went super smooth and easy. But on Steam I’ve got a problem: it won’t let me log into my account, saying I need to close my mom’s session, even though hers is already closed. I’m not sure if the issue is because I’m using my mom’s PC. When I try to log in on Steam from my phone, it says the password is invalid 😩🔒. I’ve already changed it three times through Steam Help Center and still nothing.
-
Cezary Kruszewski (@CezaryKruszews1) reported@KagutsuchiHeika @Pirat_Nation Actually issue is with @Steam as it was clearly stated by them that accounts cannot be passed on.
-
Dilshad Subramanian (@imdilshad03) reported@Steam my steam ID had suddenly lost all my friends list. It shows 0. Is there any way to fix it ? ID: dilshad003
-
StockStackr (@VeganCatBounce) reported@Steam you want to spam in the background, but when I go to log in to my account you have been spoofin, now we have a password issues? you pukes!
-
johnny utah (@vinnychase1764) reported@Steam your support sucks. You won’t refund a game that has under 4 hours of play time. You see all the reviews. It’s broken.
-
Michael Eskenasy (@ItsChefreyOS) reportedHey @Steam people…I’ve been saying this for weeks, your coordination is broken…
-
Formal Gangster (@FormalgangsterK) reported@PlayApex I can’t buy apex coins for some reason. Steam won’t authorize. You might see if there’s a fix you guys could make with @Steam @Steam_Support I just want to support a game and a couple of companies I love 🫶🏻💙
-
Dani (@sqronce) reported@Zoroarts @nieyter19 @Steam Some would believe evidence, and some wouldn’t. Receipts help with claims. While you’re trying to prove claims, I’m still waiting on evidence of all the reviews boasting of refunding after completing in under 2 hours, showing that this form of refund was a wide spread issue.
-
Joseph (@Josephshandle) reported@Steam I was needing assistance with my steam deck, unsure how to fix an issue I am having with it.
-
Pryn Nea (@prynneahroth) reported@KazuoSergal @Zoroarts @Steam retard. this isnt a fix. imagine a cashier hands you a cookie and its delicious and you go "im not paying because it was too small'
-
Indieanos Gaming (@Indieanos) reportedA serious issue especially for indie developers that @Steam needs to take seriously into consideration. If the player finishes the game, should he have the right to refund it? On the other hand, if this change is made and the game is short on purpose, the player is not protected.
-
pikachufrankie (@pikachufrankie) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Portal 1 is roughly a little over an hour long, yet has never had this issue. Limbo is only a few hours long, and also never had this issue. You can make short games that people won’t want to refund. If people are mass refunding your game, it’s because it isn’t worth the price.
-
Robert Stephenson (@CrakaLakaGetSum) reportedHey @Steam fix your stuff! I have funds in my wallet but can’t utilize them? Why? I’ve done all the steps listed but still won’t work. @Steam_Support
-
Mike Steel 💵🥩🥃 (@mike_steel_) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Skill issue. Make your game last 3 hours.
-
Makmao😭💢 (@MakoMakmao) reported@Zoroarts @Steam adding more content to the game so people would not refund it after playing this once. This is entirely on you, but i would't be surprised if you are an industrial plant just to attack Steam over thing that isn't broken. Learn some accountability for your bad actions, don't
