  • AnOrdinaryCatto An Ordinary Cat (@AnOrdinaryCatto) reported

    @OkeDoke19915124 @Steam Not to mention you're comparing aftermarket parts to parts sold in the original market Like.. Of course its going to be cheaper? What did you expect, these drives are usually salvaged from broken laptops, they're not typical bought directly from the manufacturer

  • DemonEmperorV DemonEmperorVoid (@DemonEmperorV) reported

    @Zack_Bioptic @Steam @theRealJayDub2 It took me couple of hours on Friday before I managed to get my reservation in, for the 1st hour I was getting the account is too new error then server is busy error. I’ve had a steam account for a coupes of decades with 100s of games, last purchase was several years ago.

  • norkietiger 𝙉𝙊𝙍𝙆𝙄𝙀 (@norkietiger) reported

    @ThatMadMick @Steam Distribution of products at retail is not valve or steams problem, it is retailers not forcing customers to use a prifile or captcha to purchase products... learn how the world works before stomping your feet mate.

  • ZacharyHazelwo1 Zachary Hazelwood (@ZacharyHazelwo1) reported

    @Steam And where has this Holy Grail OpenCL interpolation been? This is 2021. The age of the Steam Deck, and the third coming of Gaben. It would be a brute force way to fix this stuttering nonsense short term. 15fps lock doubled to 30 isnt ideal but its a solution. Please?

  • norkietiger 𝙉𝙊𝙍𝙆𝙄𝙀 (@norkietiger) reported

    @ThatMadMick @Steam what was your context if you knew about it because bugger me mate you seemed to be sure scalpers were a valve/steam problem.

  • ChrisBlinker Chris (@ChrisBlinker) reported

    @thibaultmol @Steam God I made a error with HDD and SSD so use to HDD as term that's all

  • DJEvillincoln Abe. I don't speak in absolutes. (@DJEvillincoln) reported

    @Steam Of course Steam won't let me sign in & the emails to confirm won't come through. UGH.

  • samer459 Sam (@samer459) reported

    @defactoatheist @Dr_Scaphandre @Steam much better to have IGN reviewing a valve product, than one of these kickstarters that crash and burn. Plus it’s 5 dollars down and more info will drop on it before it’s launch lol.

  • hydral5 hydral (@hydral5) reported

    @Sylviiietwt @Steam Windows is not modifiable in addition to being greedy it is not made to be on a console that's why Linux is chosen, if the developers take the trouble to carry their apps they will be no problem with the steamdeck

  • wakecaine Wake (@wakecaine) reported

    @KroksCrocodile @Steam It is basically a deck with installed SteamOS on it, so you login like to Steam, yes they aim for all games to be playable(even the ones with anti-cheats as they are working with devs to do this) before Steam Decks will be released and sold to people that reserved them.

  • GambieG Gerardo Cartagena (@GambieG) reported

    @Steam MY ACCOUNT WAS HACKED AND I CANT SIGN IN HELP ME SUBMIT A TICKET PLEASE

  • ron_douchey Ron ******* (@ron_douchey) reported

    @Steam Yeah, but the reservation system was/is broken and support is a joke. Definitely makes me think twice about trusting this hardware, based upon my experience thus far. I have had a more competent customer experience at a truck stop Denny's. #SteamDeck

  • AName05990807 AName 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧 (@AName05990807) reported

    @Podbod10k @eurogamer @Steam I agree, shame you’ve had a bad experience with them. Personally overall I think Steam is one of the better support teams because they always fix the issue/respond in 24hrs (in my cases) the same can’t be said for EA Support or Ubisoft

  • haste132 Zappieroth (@haste132) reported

    @Steam Actually a really fun game, Played through it a couple times. Kinda just ignore the fan service I guess if thats not your thing, Combat/Gameplay is very solid.

  • ChadPrim3 The Chad (@ChadPrim3) reported

    @Steam Look, I love this idea, I really do, but so far its all hype and marketing. Focus on proving this console can keep its promises, will function in the long term without issue, and is worth the price tag before calling Nintendo out into the parking lot like you're doing.

  • catabridgee CataBridge (@catabridgee) reported

    @thexpaw @Steam I barely use Steam search anyway. It sucks. It's one of the worst search engine for video game store. There's no fuzzy search no typo check no auto grammar fix no nothing. For example, try search 'death loop' instead of'deathloop'.

  • VtrDenis DenisVTR (@VtrDenis) reported

    @Steam If this device becomes successful Restart Steam Machine with the correction of all errors Steam Machine 2.0)

  • OneSneekieBoi dog with the shades (@OneSneekieBoi) reported

    @LolindirLink @elnarvideo @Steam Yeah i honestly think they did their best with their given issues, i mean, they stuck their neck out more than most company’s would for a console release in todays day and age

  • RickSanchezD69 Rick Sanchez (@RickSanchezD69) reported

    @JustinRoiland @Steam JUST BUY #DOGE and ALLLLLL OF YOUR PROBLEMS WILL BE GONE

  • Podbod10k Paul Denning (@Podbod10k) reported

    @AName05990807 @eurogamer @Steam Yeah I did reserve it again. That's why I know I'm now q2 '22. Re: server issues. Many people complained about it. It's always the way when a preorder goes live and everyone hammers at the same time. I don't bemoan the issues but putting it right is just good customer service.

  • BoudhakaAudeles Sebastien SanJuan (@BoudhakaAudeles) reported

    @Steam I just had my steam account stolen, but no way to get someone from your support to fix it. The person who stole my account has already changed the address but account recovery, phone number and fired my stream guard.

  • DemonEmperorV DemonEmperorVoid (@DemonEmperorV) reported

    @ConvergencePact @Steam If you ordered today then it’s q3 2022, if you ordered yesterday then first batch(December) or possibly q1 2022. I wasn’t able to order till 1 hour after the preorders started yesterday as was getting the “account is too new” error, then took another hour due to busy server error

  • ThaKidDrizzy ThaKidDrizzy (@ThaKidDrizzy) reported

    destiny PVP is so bad i played against 6 hackers and got ddos-ed out of comms and the game lobby 🙃 thanks @Steam @DestinyTheGame for no anti-cheat

  • TimyTomyX Lord Alahambra the righteous! (@TimyTomyX) reported

    @compassion707 @defactoatheist @Steam Or you can wait, not pay 5 for nothing and buy it anyway afterwards. And when it sucks, you didn`t pay something for nothing. Buy the way, pc games suck most of the time on small screens. Even with good eyes you have problems seeing stuff made for 24"+ screens.

  • dirntbass human 📍 (@dirntbass) reported

    @steam fix your system for proving a user was falsely reported. ive spent 300 dollars trying to prove i own my own account and trying to ask for any other method of proof, i have been denied and ignored. this is super unprofessional behavior.

  • MarkWylde7 Mark Wylder (@MarkWylde7) reported

    @GordonF53611057 @RealPerfectLife @Steam Right? Switch is literally the only handheld system with detachable controllers. Steam Deck seems to have far better bluetooth capabilities, so wireless control won't be an issue.

  • JDtheHutt Supay (James Duffy) (@JDtheHutt) reported

    @eodayy @Isa16018607 @Steam Blizzard are odd as they do not support Linux but I have seen time and again their devs respond positively to bug reports on their forums purely affecting Linux users using Wine and make tweaks to sort issues out so long as it doesn't affect their Windows base.

  • sufyan_farid Sufyan Farid (@sufyan_farid) reported

    @Sylviiietwt @Steam I don’t want blue screen of death on my Steam Deck. Also what if I start facing driver issues like GPU driver or Wifi/Bluetooth driver, how will I revert back to Steam OS?

  • JuJuRage JuJu Rage (@JuJuRage) reported

    @Mr_Head_Glitch @Steam @InSilence_Game We just had this same issue with the same user. Reported him on steam, I guess the devs arent doing anything about this. Sad.
