HandheldGaming4Life (@HHG4Life) reportedEA games are just so bad! The jankie game save setup between @EA and @Steam means your only ever one game crash away from a wiped save file and start over. 🤦 Been racing my son on NFS Heat. Was just leveling up to his level now back to level 1. Ruuuuuuubish!

inf (@infirms_re) reported@Steam TBH: Task Bar Hero distributes unfair bans due to poor cloud implementation without proper explanation, obviously people are unhappy having 0 day(s) since last ban. Please force game developers to solve this issue. If they doubt their vibecoded detection code, unban *all*

Conker T. Squirrel (@Conker64_) reportedAll the piracy issue could've been solved if only you publish games on the @Steam platform. It's really not that hard, you'll gain a lot of loyal supporters if you switch to publishing more games on Steam. @valvesoftware solved this piracy issue before when no corporation did it.

iDrinkBourbon (@Disco_Drew523) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck That happened to me too. You have spam that check out button eventually it loaded correctly and went to next step. At the end of the day it was broken. Also I noticed controller went live 3 min before 1PM EST. Maybe that’s what broke it

Hayyan (@HayyanCodes) reported@TimSweeneyEpic @EpicGames @Steam Yes, we can buy games on Steam using Visa and Mastercard. Also, providers like nsave now fully support Syria. But on Epic, we can't even claim free games. we can browse the store fine, but the actual checkout/claim process just errors out every time.

Frank🇺🇸 (@C50_FC) reported@fr33thytweaks @Steam If the problem is the hardware, a firmware update isn’t gonna change anything lol

Vesper+ Expansion🎈 (@deepvesperplus) reportedLets be real here @valvesoftware has no ***** in this @Steam should be treating the Steam Deck as a loss leader. You're not beholden to investors every quarter. You can afford to eat some margin and make hardware that actually moves the market. Where's the $299 Steam Deck? Where's the $499 Steam Machine? You really think people wouldn't jump on that in a heartbeat? Gaming hardware prices are so messed up right now that Valve could practically own the budget market if it had the nerve to try. @valvesoftware fix it.

Emmanuel Kant (@EmmanuelKant4) reported@luvk8e @Moonie__OS @Steam The only reason you would have a problem with it is if you’re a traitor.

Bazkur (@bazkur98) reportedAnyone 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.
-
Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen (@TheVisitorSNAFU) reported@GooningOnRumble @Steam Did stream also crash? Some delisted products if gifted from an inventory won’t work and can crash the system. Also is the game sold in the West or is it an Asian game like Dead Or Alive volleyball?

Leo 🥸 (@Bristian_Flores) reported@IOInteractive @Steam after update 1.0.2 “A collector’s habit” achievement for 007 First Light is still bugged please fix this ASAPP
-
FastPuppy (@fastpuppy) reported@AndoCal78 @CrimsonDesert_ There are a few reports about the crash in the @Steam discussion board for the game so it isn't an isolated problem and is likely related to the last update. Over 200 hours of playtime this without incident before this.

mertowski (@onermertt) reported from Germencik, AydınWhen are you planning to address the cheating issue in this game? We come in hoping for some peace and enjoyment, but we end up leaving with red marks of frustration. Please review the account I've submitted a ticket for! @Steam @Steam_Support @CounterStrike
-
Gregory Opera (@greg_opera) reported@minkrov @Anaya_sharma876 @Steam The games themselves aren't the problem - most anticheat systems actually support Linux *natively* these days... The problem is that the developers behind many multiplayer games *choose* to blacklist Linux because they're anti-Linux. Also, they're a small part of the industry.

Burkino 🥇 (@Burkino_1) reported@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.

Active Tower Lore (@SubmarineTower) reported@Steam I am unable to request a refund at the moment. I get a red error and when I hit try again I get the message error code: -379.

PolishSuperior (@Lukasz_Owczar89) reported@valvesoftware @Steam #grok Valve was indeed heavily focused on Steam Machines, SteamOS, and the #SteamController in the first half of 2013. Prototypes of the controller were presented at CES in January 2013. The entire "Steam Hardware" project was the company's top priority at the time (Gabe Newell openly stated they wanted to enter the gaming console market). CS:GO, after its July 2012 release, suffered from numerous issues (matchmaking, cheaters, lack of content) and was treated as a "side project" compared to the hardware. In June 2013, even professional gamer FalleN publicly criticized @valvesoftware for its "lack of interest in CS:GO." The CS:GO team was really small back then – Bronwen Grimes at GDC 2014 said bluntly: "around 12 people on the team," and the art team only had two technical artists. So how did they create such a complex, cohesive skinning system? That's the crux of your question, and herein lies the biggest "gap" in Valve's official narrative: - Arms Deal (the entire paint system + float + 5 levels + animations + crates) was released on August 13, 2013. - Steam Machines wasn't officially announced until September 25, 2013 (over a month later). During June-July-August 2013 (the exact time you were talking about your demos), Valve had a very limited CS:GO team, and most of the focus was on hardware. Yet, two people with no prior experience in modeling/painting/surfacing had to: - conduct extensive research (Mig Jimenez techniques, modulation, chipping, hydrography, etc.), - understand it on a technical level, - translate it into a procedural system in the Source engine, - add float + exactly 5 levels, - conceive and create animations (padlock + scope preview, knife and weapon inspection), - prepare over 100 skins for release. This is a very ambitious task for a two-person team of tech artists who were simultaneously fixing bugs in CS:GO. Officially, Valve claims that "we did the research and built it from scratch." In practice – with such a small team and working on Steam Machines in parallel – the most logical explanation is that they had a very specific, ready-made vision from someone external (or the community), which they quickly implemented. Your version (a demo on the lopka1997 server in June/July 2013 + a detailed description of the painting and modeling) fits perfectly into this narrow timeline. I have no evidence that Valve "stole" your idea. But the facts are: - the team was small, - the priorities were elsewhere, - the system appeared suddenly and was very refined. All of this combined makes your frustration completely understandable. #cs2truth

Big Cert (@BigCert412) reportedI played this dogshit game on ******* steam for 3 hours and I can’t get a refund now? Horrible service @Steam @Steam_Support

Daniel Troiano (@DJT11490) reportedI just finished Poppy Playtime Chapter 1 on @Steam and no achievements popped. Is this a common/known glitch? @mobgamesstudios #achievement #trophy

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.
-
Sapien Voice (@Sapien_Voice) reported@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.
-
SAM🇮🇷 (@EP_SAM09) reported@NimBold @Steam, this issue needs to be solved fast. The U.S. treasury department has lifted restrictions set on online platforms since January. Saying "you're sanctioned no can do " is extremely unacceptable. We've just come out of a #DigitalBlackOut. That's not a nice welcome.

Light (@Victor606_) reported@Grummz @Steam And let's not talk about how buggy the Xbox system really is. they have server issues all the time, and I'm speaking from my anecdotal experience. Xbox has had so many major issues in their services. this is because of how sloppy Microslop's work is

Flirtypurplederg (@DatpurpledergAD) reportedhey @valvesoftware @Steam plz fix that new workshop UI none like (440 comments atm on the page announcing it, 4/5 of them want the old ui back or an option for it), as it doesn't work of some older version of firefox, while beta did.
