  • JoshsArtwork Josh (@JoshsArtwork) reported

    @Ki11ersix @M669669669 @Steam Borderlands 2, Pre Sequel, and Tales (the good one) all had decent stories Heck, the ending of the pre sequel with Jack getting scarred and truly becoming evil still lives rent free in my head The problem is that now Gearbox doesn’t take the story seriously at all anymore

  • UpdateManager1 Update Manager (@UpdateManager1) reported

    @fbpns @JakeSucky @Steam I see the issue. The description says you can “? dinosaurs”. Steam doesn’t promote cross-species mating. Still looks fun though!

  • iqbalnabeel nabeel ahmed iqbal (@iqbalnabeel) reported

  • Halotitee Halotitee (@Halotitee) reported

  • Adam_Trevor70 Adam Trevor (@Adam_Trevor70) reported

    @Steam why can’t steam ever remember my pc login? This is win11, biometric signin and steam still prompts for password and a guard code.

  • Chimerat1 Chimerat (@Chimerat1) reported

    Did @Steam remove the old page where you could view the list of Achievements (which I could of sworn was there yesterday) or is this an Xmas glitch?

  • VoidRidden Moss Ridden Void Bellower (@VoidRidden) reported

    @WBGamesSupport hi! The most recent update to MK11 for pc has broken it for me. @Steam refused a refund. Can WB games provide any advice on getting it running or requesting a refund?

  • MasterCalvin94 Calvin (Gamer/UltimateHope) (@MasterCalvin94) reported

    I like to use @Steam, but they really need to fix the Steam Chat app for @Android because I can't even log in due to it keep saying "Failed to connect to Steam"

  • JarekMilorad Jarek Milorad The NPR Tiger 🇵🇷 (@JarekMilorad) reported

    @Steam is your store down or the payment portion of it? getting errors when trying to buy a game.

  • iqbalnabeel nabeel ahmed iqbal (@iqbalnabeel) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support need help as your support is not working. Requested refund for a game that is not working and since the game has a free to play content now it shows playtime of 28hrs and rejecting my request. Game Call of duty modern warfare 2 multiplayer. #refund #help

  • toottooot90 Toot Terri🐈 (@toottooot90) reported

    @cchellii @Steam I think you should write to @andauthor just like I did to get your issue resolved

  • CThecog o.c (@CThecog) reported

    @40k_Inquisitor @Steam Having issues to log into my account too. Just made one after purchasing it and it always says "Server error".

  • kairoeder Kai Röder (@kairoeder) reported

    @robertSPD @Steam To be fair: even with relatively slow Internet the update won't take longer than a couple of minutes. Also, having multiple versions of e.g. friendlist might cause more issues than having everyone on the same version. Steam packs regular UI updates but at least runs stable for me

  • killzone0997 O glo (@killzone0997) reported

    Epic game launcher is not working properly I got log out from everywhere @EpicGames @Steam

  • AngelusWannabe Carolina Ontiveros (@AngelusWannabe) reported

    @Steam please fix issues with buying games. I never have problems getting your games but now, whenever I want to buy, says there’s a problem or that I’ve tried for an hour to buy them which is not true… thing is I can’t buy games in your winter sale…

  • gieonly1 gie (@gieonly1) reported

    @Pussy_OG @40k_Inquisitor @Steam I was also having this same issue too, after waiting on support system so long without any real help. I got recommended to this genius hacker, He got mine perfectly fixed with everything still intact, you can try him out too IG: Megahackz12 Whatsapp: +1(708) 586-7947

  • ivorociouz Ivorocious (@ivorociouz) reported

    @FurryDoot @j_bull_ @Steam Hardwood is such an issue… you get the same +10 per level from 1836 to 1936

  • shych1vette Shych1vette - Nvde Neighborhood 🖤 (@shych1vette) reported

    @TwoBrooklyners @LocusChain @Steam Definitely true, this proves it can be done, and is out there for companies to use if they dont want to go through the trouble of creating a chain themselves i guess

  • SirStraub The Strauberson (@SirStraub) reported

    @VoxCaster Don't you ever get tired of ****** game developers making you look bad with half baked games? @Darktide40K is hot ******* garbage. It won't even launch after the last week's update, I get no support from @Steam , who won't issue me a refund on a game that wont even run
