    @Steam @Steam_Support I have no other means of contacting you, please see this. I am afraid that my account was stolen. I have exhausted my login and account retrieval attempts and so can't contact you on your support site. Please contact me, I can prove the account is mine.

    @Steam are your servers down?

  • heyykaty_ Katy (@heyykaty_) reported

    Why has it been two weeks since the last patch when the devs have been aware of this issue for the same amount of time? @HKdevblog I also can't get a refund via @Steam because I have played for almost 5 hours. I have been playing to try to find a way to fix this issue myself.

    @IsKitteb @Steam Hi, Legend! 👋 If you encounter any technical issues with the Steam release (hopefully not 🤞) please report them either to Customer Care or directly on our Discord in the #⌨-steam-issues channel. That being said, have fun on the racing track! 🔥

    @hev_war @pcgamer @Steam I've gotten lots of refunds from steam, and they probably have the best customer service out of any store other than Origin.

    .@Steam Trying to make an account but there's a glitch that won't let me prove i'm not a robot. And I can't find a support phone number to call. So I guess you don't want my money?

  • jd_fkm NaN (@jd_fkm) reported

    @Steam Can’t believe that I got a reject on a claim because it was more than 15 days since Ive purchased a game. If your game is certificate to work on deck with minor issues and THERE IS NO SOUND,that makes it a major blocker and it shouldn’t had the verification.I can…(1/2)

  • AgreedUpon *** stan (@AgreedUpon) reported

  • RSNTM3NT RESENTMENT (@RSNTM3NT) reported

    Dear god, @EA turning Origins into a subscription service is a **** copy-paste strategy I have ever seen! No wonder, some people who unable to play their games through @Steam has to ask Customer support, which didn't help.
