  • MyGeekJam Jaymondo 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇸🇯 (@MyGeekJam) reported

    @Steam Maybe fix yer store so people can buy stuff!!!!!!

  • BuckTotal TotalClusterBuck (@BuckTotal) reported

    @Mar2ck @Steam I don't agree with you - If you can have two completely different games, then you can have a VR Alyx and a non-VR Alyx. You just need twice the resources. That's the real issue, But it isn't really an issue because twice the games give, are both twice the cost & twice the profit

  • Jampie85 Jan-Willem (@Jampie85) reported

    @NGmusic100 @hell_let_loose @Steam I dont like cod and i do play hell let loose also on pc. I can easy get like 40/50 kills to sit behind arty. But for now teamplay is far off on console because no comms and markers. They need to make it better / more friendly to use. And fix aim before release.

    @MyGeekJam @Steam @Steam_Support The problem comes from steam itself I think : when I rebooted my pc earlier it was impossible to connect to steam with the automatic connection...and I didn't even try on purpose! ( I didn't have time to play ESO for a month I think)

  • UsernameOneTwo Good (@UsernameOneTwo) reported

    @AerosoftGmbH @Steam Another game made for mobiles like or this time the graphics won't be straight from 2010? hire some game developers or something. Aerosoft you never do real sales, your games are buggy, ugly, you abandon them and refuse to fix them.
