    I was skeptical about @Steam's controller costing an outrageous $100, $30 more than a Nintendo Pro controller. However, I now know you can open it to maybe fix it yourself and if you drop it, it Wilhelm screams. Such humanity is worth it. Our household will have 2.

    The Older Gamer Guy (@TheOldrGamerGuy) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support This issue was resolved after we connected to a stable internet connection. Only then did our decks open as normal. Did they have to download something extra? Times differed.

    @Fen0505 @valvesoftware @Steam Prioritize people who bought and played games on their accounts, this with long service badges, and older than 6 months to a year

  • hide_X666
    J. Ilmari (@hide_X666) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam Would've been nice if your servers would've let me purchase it. Got errors 30 mins straight and then it was sold out

  • dick_face242

    @valvesoftware @Steam @valvesoftware you guys do grateful work but the scalpers have made the lanch of the steam controller impossible to buy. I hope there is solution/fix for the controller and for whenever you release the steam machine and the steam frame

  • minkrov
    Vlad Oreshkov (@minkrov) reported

    @greg_opera @Anaya_sharma876 @Steam Yeah, but some very popular multiplayer games I've heard are not compatible with Linux, so I was suggesting that AI could solve that problem yk?

  • FireFlyTroy
    Echoes of Troy (@FireFlyTroy) reported

    What is with @Steam support and never looking at tickets & just a generic replies? 3rd ticket, same issue, same replies!! Arghhhhhhh

    @Slayer_Int777 @Moonie__OS @Steam That’s the problem ********

    Anyone else having issues with Cloud Syncing on @Steam the last couple days? Eventually it works but takes forever and since i often switch between devices it is really annoying.

  • M4xRe4lWell
    Chudley Max (@M4xRe4lWell) reported

    @Moonie__OS @Steam I fail to see an issue.

  • PhilTheStampede
    PhilTheStampede (@PhilTheStampede) reported

    Getting sick of this ****. @valvesoftware @Steam @Steam_Support How do you justify this? How are you fixing the issue? Tell BlackRock to kick rocks. Your users will pay you any way you come up with.

    @UmbrellaFight I'd say Steam's only real issue is discovery, but this is a problem on every platform (and not just for games). I want to see new games, but it's kinda hard to find them. Imagine if @Steam and @X accounts could be linked so Twitter could show games similar to those I like.

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam_Support @Steam My accounts have been compromised and I have tried recovery and it is not working kindly assist

  • voidyfrown
    Voidy 🏳️‍⚧️🖤 (@voidyfrown) reported

    @itsmja00 @Steam I put in a refund request and they gave me an error lol I’m not even really expecting anything I just don’t morally agree with how they’ve conducted themselves. If the game was still running and being updated I wouldn’t request a refund, and I haven’t opened it in years

  • casto1378
    TheCastoPrime (@casto1378) reported

    @Steam please help, this is terrible. Your login recovery is trash, I'm locked out for very stupid reasons. Then I started a new account to work around, and I was immediately locked out on the new account.

    @Snowmobile2004 @Steam @OnDeck I'm glad it worked for you, but it looks like a lot of other people have the same issue and tried more times. The algorithm God blessed you

    @Moonie__OS @Steam this looks like a fun game what’s the problem?

    @Steam I was sent a gift from your website but I can’t claim it cause it says error while claiming your gift try again later @steam

  • Kyvlash
    Kyvlash (@Kyvlash) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam I’m fine with a reservation system. But this is honestly ridiculous. This is a controller, not a Console. There is no Pandemic. This is normal Supply/Demand. And limiting customers to one reservation is a little silly imo. The demand for the Steam Controller exists, but it’s not going to rival its Console competitors. The outrage is mostly due to the payment system failures rather than people raging out about a non-existent scalper problem.

    Hi X/Twitter Sorry to not speak about chess today, but I have an emergency problem I would need some help from any @Steam / @Steam_Support employee regarding my counter-strike 2 account Please mention anyone I could contact to discuss this matter Thank you !

    @Steam So fed up, having to log into those UNNECESSARY gaming-platforms (even f offliners)! Let's look at the consumer-perspective: you are forced into being monitored and exploited! I remember much better user-service as long as developer/publishers managed servicing all by themselves.
