    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Apparently it’s not what we thought. PS4 hackers were stealing games. This was a response to that. Buy a game for the duration of the return period it’s a temporary license. After that login and get a new one that’s traditional.

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Payment processors have rate limits, chief. Too many people wanted controllers at once. Every platform exclusive has this problem, it's frustrating as heck.

  • Scare_29_Crow
    ScareCrow (@Scare_29_Crow) reported

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam It was mis-reported. Everyone gets a 30 day offline license, which converts to a permanent license after you login on the 15th day or later after purchase. All is good.

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam The only problem is your trash launcher.

    @JoeReeves40 @lotfgame @Steam I only have issues with lords of the fallen. No other game.

    @valvesoftware @Steam When will it be back in stock I tried like 20 times to purchase it and I kept getting an error. 😭

  • EldritchBoggart
    Eldritch Boggart (@EldritchBoggart) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam Fix your system, given that everyone was getting a transaction error, this has to be one of the biggest console hardware launch debacles in the last decade. Guess people who wanted one are out of luck because you can't handle payment transactions properly during a blitz.

  • logincrash
    Colin Archer (@logincrash) reported

    @itsmeepui @UbisoftSupport @Steam I've looked for a solution to this problem and all I got is a bunch of people saying **** like "Just don't log out." or "Write down your password." Like, *****, the Remember Me tick is there AND IT DOESN'T ******* WORK. It's not on me to fix this. Your launcher ******* SUCKS!

    @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..

    @yorksoriginal @Steam Doesn't it fix itself once you close the game?

  • TacoMaestro_

    @ajshpprd @Steam Same here. I even preloaded my steam wallet to try to avoid any issues

  • cjbkiller98
    Carl Brown (@cjbkiller98) reported

    @Steam can we have more ways to verify age in the uk? Barely anyone I know own credit cards to prove we are adults. Yet Xbox and PlayStation I’ve verified with no issues.

  • Zalzarrquack

    Imagine harassing me 4 hours just sending me invites after invites like begging you wanna play with me, doing 3 different accounts on twitch, getting banned 3 times, changing your Steam name almost 5 times and THEN sending me this unban request?! @Steam your blocking system is not working btw.

  • thatguysnipez
    Jordan (@thatguysnipez) reported

    now completely signed out of Steam because setting up an authenticator had me reset my password three separate times and now I can’t get in because it says unable to login due to too many long attempts from this location. @Steam thanks.

  • CapnSlipp
    Cap'n Slipp (@CapnSlipp) reported

    Dear @Steam, the useful Verification Code From E-mail feature in iOS/iPadOS doesn't work with e-mails from Steam. I believe this is because iOS only looks at the notification, not the whole e-mail. Please move the code further up (text-wise) in your e-mails to fix this. #UXBug

  • LuieeSkyWalker

    @Steam @Steam_Support I’ve been trying to checkout the steam controller since it went live keep getting an error and now it’s sold out? I should’ve been able to purchase at 10am pct when I put it in my cart

    @0bscuratea @valvesoftware @Steam The problem is that for import purposes, this means a higher price than the DualSense, and it's not that competitive, even though it's pretty cool.

  • jfinkelstein
    Jeff Finkelstein (@jfinkelstein) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact Support for Assistance.

    Red (@redre1ated) reported

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Many will have you believe this was a sort of bug, glitch, accident...I think ive read all sorts of damage control nonsense in the last 36hrs. Sony consoles had DRM. And the only reason WHY they didn't use it fully was due to the backlash of the 2013 Xbox One E3 conference.

  • PospichalColton
    Colton Pospichal (@PospichalColton) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam Fix your storefront so people can actually make transactions or stock enough so people can purchase them.

  • evandesjardins
    Evan Desjardins (@evandesjardins) reported

    @PlayStation support is pathetic and a scam. I can't wait for the @Steam Machine to come out, as I've had nothing but excellent customer service from @Steam_Support in the very few times I've needed it.

    @valvesoftware @Steam Brazilian players want to buy Valve hardware officially, at a fair price, with proper support. We are not asking for magic. Just a legitimate way to buy the product without gambling with bureaucracy and warranty issues.

  • King_INF3RN0
    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...

    Warrior_Nation (@BWarrior76) reported

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam This thing is blown way out of proportion. I do not see a problem with it, nor a reason for it. No internet for 30 days, your game is disabled until you re-connect? Ok lol
