Tappin (@t4ppin) reportedFix your game please add elo rollback for cheater games. The amount of cheaters is disgusting and your killing your game by allowing this to happen. Just played against two blatant hackers and lost -450 cause of it. @valvesoftware @Steam @CounterStrike

Whozae ✨️ (@whozae) reported@EA @Steam Like yeah makes sense to Ban the customer when THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY TO REACH A ******* HUMAN BEING NOR SUBMIT A FORM FOR AN ISSUE THATS "Invalid license. We're sorry, an error has occurred." DAWG! THIS ISSUE HASNT BEEN FIXED FOR SO MANY YEARS! @FTC need to start fine-ing you *******
-
Machete Paul (@Machete_Paul_) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I've put 5 hours into A Webbing Journey and most of that was before they added real stuff to do. Just ******* with the physics was entertaining enough to earn 3 hours from me. Sounds like a skill issue homie.

Rogue Wolf (@Spi3000) reported@ImCadeYT @Steam Despite positivities from Steam Customer Service, Valve (from my experience) takes time for E-Mail or Support Ticket claims, usually a day's time. If you sent the E-Mail today, give it time. Until then grab every document you can, especially purchase information.
-
Formal Gangster (@FormalgangsterK) reported@PlayApex I can’t buy apex coins for some reason. Steam won’t authorize. You might see if there’s a fix you guys could make with @Steam @Steam_Support I just want to support a game and a couple of companies I love 🫶🏻💙

Ojeyi victory (@vtory042) reportedGood evening.i have been trying to create an account with steam but it's not working. @Steam
-
Maxie 🎮 Bloodstained | Visions of Mana | ONINAKI (@maxieaftermdnyt) reported@ZirraTGK That’s me in a nutshell. If not physically, I’ll be getting those games on @Steam. At least Steam has good customer service even though they also sell digital licenses (@GOGcom doesn’t really sell their games in my country sadly)
-
Marty. (@martis_off) reportedNot a single mail nothing from @Steam and im trying for hours to fix this **** help me!!!!!!
-
โค้ชลงสนาม (@nicha1a) reported@MrPsychoWTF @Steam What does the screen look like when you click on the Store? Mine shows “Error code: -118.”
-
Whiteevo6 (@White_Evo6) reported@PlayStation Change the laws so we own digital games, movies and music we purchase If you want a digital future then we own what we buy and can trade it just like a disc and you’re forced to provide this service otherwise you, @XBOX and @Steam can all go to hell
-
Zynner (@zynnachin) reported@Shinogi_Trench @BasedBickle @Steam Wow, the game has some glaring issues that it takes playtime to figure out? Because they didn’t adequately playtest it? And I don’t get to speak about it? You are a spiritual slave
-
DougieDispenser@aspirin.jp (@Shinogi_Trench) reported@zynnachin @BasedBickle @Steam “glaring issues that it takes playtime to figure out” speak for yourself. Who ******** is “they” lmao. You don’t get to speak about it because your opinion is worthless. You also type like a retarded fat chick. Three questions in your reply because you’re unsure about everything
-
Jamie (@Jximiee) reported@martis_off @Steam I’ve had this problem before, try signing out of all devices after resetting your password that did the trick for me. Once you’ve done that reverse all the trades and you should be sweet.
-
Nekked Molerat (@nekkedmolerat) reported@Zoroarts @Steam The problem isn't Steams refund policy.
-
AureusCrush (@AureusCrush) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Idk man feels like you could just idk, make a slightly longer/more challenging game and your issue would be resolved.
-
BYYONI (@BYYONI1) reported@CombateMonero @Steam Actually, this isn't the first time they've let me down. I remember during one of the Next Fests, my game only appeared on the page 3 days after the festival started, because there was some kind of error in the system and the game was invisible to everyone.
-
Dont Askem Eh (@DontAskemeh) reportedI use to grind trophies back in the day, I will agree with the sound as it hits different & they're at least set in stone. Steam overall is better EXCEPT when they get ruined by devs adding random achievements years later. Categories for DLC would be an easy fix, js @Steam.
-
ragegun (@_ragegun) reported@Timebringer @Steam As it is, 2 hours is barely enough time to try and troubleshoot, if you have issues launching a game... and it already encourages you to refund if the game essentially isn't working properly on your machine.
-
Pankaj Indoria (@PankajIndoria1) reported@SteamSupport I'm unable to sign in to my Steam acc. After trying several times, I now receive an "Exceeded" error and can't access my account in the Steam client or browser.This issue is affecting my work. Please look into this as soon as possible. #Steam #SteamSupport @Steam

Mikodaud (@Mikodaud) reported@JagerBomba890 @ChibiReviews @Steam We migrate to the platforms that dont have this problem,you can stay and get goyslopped freely,i dont care.

Morgan Devreaux (@MorganDevreaux) reportedHe is the most evil of evil and the most overpowered annoying dumb and stank character ever. #victorisoverparty because there’s no reason for him to exsist the way he does in this damn game. Because WHY does he have stank aura!! @valvesoftware @Steam @IntelDeadlock FIX THIS

X|1MantisPhoenix (@1mantisphoenix) reportedSony should refund people that they take media away from, OR let them ultimately ∞ be able to access it like they paid for, when they bought it in the first place. Look at @Steam for good models of digital ownership. When a game leaves the store, it's no longer purchasable for new players. BUT< anyone that previously purchased that, can play it till they're sick of it. Blackouts will starve gamers, maybe even help them quit gaming... I doubt Sony is going to change their minds... but they can at least give 2TB/4TB nvme's for the prices they're going to expect in the future, and thanks to the size of games down the line too... There's too many sides to this to really bive one definitive solution or answer... but it should start with good online digital store etiquette to help counter the problem they're creating. Monopolies all suck. I hate publisher prices for my region on Steam, but Steam still lets me activate games that I get keys for outside of Steam. The grey market is my second home and steam is the platform to collect the achievements, the cards, the badges, etc. Thanks for that Gabe Newell

Desus Elba (@Black_L0tus_013) reportedI have a refund issue and i keep getting rejected. I am playing marvel tokon on pc and when i initially get fighting games i spend time in training first before exploring other modes. Im am over the 2 hours but the game crash when i play 2 other modes. I need a refund @Steam

Cogglesz (@ColinEspMusic) reported@Tardgrde @ImCadeYT @Steam Be careful buddy. Seriously. I noticed with the controllers my reservation was due November 26' So guess what? I've already got it in my hands, a week ago i checked the controller page again to see if my reservation was still active and it literally told me i had 2 days left to buy the thing or i'll lose my (Nov 26') reservation. You'd think, They'd email people who got pushed ahead yeah? No..Not one pop up, not one email telling me the controller was available for purchase. If it wasn't for me wanting to check my status on the controllers store page i'd have lost my reservation and been screwed into 2027. I'm absolutely positive this is happening with the hardware too. I put in a purchase request the same day they announced the steam controllers on the store page (and influencers already had reviews up day 1) So, Not only did i have to spend money prior to when i wanted to? I'm sure there are people who live paycheque to paycheque that can't just spend $100 on a whim. They didn't even notify me with an email or in-steam UI pop ups which they should do for things like this. I really advise everyone checks their hardware orders daily on steam or at least emails about reservations, it's the only way to prevent reservations slipping through our hands because we take a break or are too busy IRL. I've been with valve since 2007 and even bought the V1 controller & Steam Link back in 2015. The quality of service has severely been hampered by Valve selling these things on their own storefront which didn't give me a heads up at all. Be careful!!!!
