    @Respawn I cannot close Apex after the last update, reinstalled both @PlayApex and @Steam did not fix it, task manager won't even let me kill the process. I have to restart my computer every time I finish playing the game just to stop it.

  • RealMarcFoxx Marc Foxx (@RealMarcFoxx) reported

    How long until Steam implements a monthly game subscription service? For better or worse, subscription models seem to be the future for digital content. @Steam

  • IncredibroH Incredibro Hulk (@IncredibroH) reported

    @Steam I can't sign into my account because I lost my authenticator, and changed my phone number, and can't remember the email either apparently. Also the website won't let me make a ticket because I can't sign in. Help :(.

  • Kidult66255488 Kidult (@Kidult66255488) reported

    @SteamDeckHQ @EA @Steam Yeah, so it switches to ‘playing’ then hangs without booting anything before closing automatically. Like it can’t initialise the game. After installing it in desktop mode I’ve had no issues until today. Frustrating as it’s one hell of a trilogy!

    @Steam @OnDeck I love this deck but this wifi issue is getting out of control. Why would a 700$ device be failing to connect to my internet when no other device in my house does? I can even connect my iPod 3rd gen perfectly fine (yes that sucker is in my storage unit) plz fix it

  • vvsor_ru Viacheslav Sorokov (@vvsor_ru) reported

    @Steam - the most disrespectful customer service I have ever encountered: incredibly long responses, not reading my messages and, worst of all, probably doing it on purpose.

  • WillyG_21_ Wilson 🏁 (@WillyG_21_) reported
