    @Steam @Steam_Support do you have a random shipment generator for orders as it seems you are shipping the steam controllers randomly. I ordered at 57 just before, and my wife's at 18 past because you were broken for her. It's Def not in any kind of order which seems unfair. :(

    @TankeryChan @valvesoftware @Steam Through the government postal service maybe. Never had a DHL or other private shipping company lose a single item, and I receive a LOT because of my job.

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Rainbow Six Siege is asking for an activation code even though it's free-to-play. The game shows as owned on both Steam and Ubisoft Connect. Steam ID: 76561199701512544. This is a license sync issue on your end, please escalate to your technical team

  • BlueXcoat

    @valvesoftware @Steam Just keep selling controllers at the same price till scalpers give up buying, infinite money glitch and then it could be available to all of the customers right now. Would advise for everyone to not even buy the reselling options from ebay. @valvesoftware

  • ThorneAbrams
    Thorne (@ThorneAbrams) reported

    @AntiFurVoreGore @valvesoftware @Steam "Fairness" isn't getting special treatment because you've been a user for a long time. It’s everyone having the same 1-unit limit so the scalpers you’re complaining about can’t drain the stock. You’re asking to be part of the problem.

  • EternalCMO
    Chad Oliver ☮️ 🖖 (@EternalCMO) reported

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Most digital storefronts,including Steam, require a login to verify game licenses; it varies how often. That timer on newly purchased PSN games is to fix a loophole where customers were receiving refunds, but still had access. It'll go away once the 30-day refund window closes.

  • longshotmagoo
    Stephen McHugh (@longshotmagoo) reported

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck I knew the controller would sell out fairly quick like but 30 mins is insane haha. Valves biggest problem is filling demand, that's a great problem lol

  • casto1378
    TheCastoPrime (@casto1378) reported

    @Steam please help, this is terrible. Your login recovery is trash, I'm locked out for very stupid reasons. Then I started a new account to work around, and I was immediately locked out on the new account.

    @Null1130250 @valvesoftware @Steam They've had YEARS to fix their international supply problems, I had to buy my Steam Deck from a third party just because I live a few kilometers below Texas.

  • logincrash
    Colin Archer (@logincrash) reported

    @itsmeepui @UbisoftSupport @Steam I've looked for a solution to this problem and all I got is a bunch of people saying **** like "Just don't log out." or "Write down your password." Like, *****, the Remember Me tick is there AND IT DOESN'T ******* WORK. It's not on me to fix this. Your launcher ******* SUCKS!

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck I was met with that error and just spam clicked the link until I got a different page to finally populate!

  • Golden_L2
    Golden L (@Golden_L2) reported

    @0bscuratea @valvesoftware @Steam The problem is that for import purposes, this means a higher price than the DualSense, and it's not that competitive, even though it's pretty cool.

  • torelethain
    Torelethain (@torelethain) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam Seriously guys, why did you not roll this out like the Deck to prevent scalpers? You already had this problem solved. Big disappointment, guess I'll have to wait now.

  • torelethain
    Torelethain (@torelethain) reported

    @KlassischeMann @valvesoftware @Steam **** off ****, there is plenty of reason for criticism, scalpers are an issue they had figured out and solve on the Deck launch, this was failed roll out. If it genuinely was sold we would be more understanding and happy for Valve. This was a mistep **** sucking fanboi.

  • DalanarTV

    @valvesoftware @Steam I'll just be happy if it doesn't crash or freeze when I try to make my reservation

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Steam isn't the problem lmao.

  • 135dotx

    @pcgamer Ppl say he's nitpicking but I can't wear clothes if the tag touches me. I think companies will release mods to fix issues & ppl will buy it @Steam is my favorite company but... I do worry about those details. The Elite Series 2 is almost ideal

  • CapnSlipp
    Cap'n Slipp (@CapnSlipp) reported

    Dear @Steam, the useful Verification Code From E-mail feature in iOS/iPadOS doesn't work with e-mails from Steam. I believe this is because iOS only looks at the notification, not the whole e-mail. Please move the code further up (text-wise) in your e-mails to fix this. #UXBug

  • Huckleberry3716

    @valvesoftware @Steam Good. Hopefully the reservation queue doesn’t crash Steam again tomorrow

  • 135dotx

    @Pirat_Nation Don't care. Microslop had years➕ to fix @Windows & are only doing it now bc losing ppl to Linux & @Steam. These companies will never learn – I hope gamers finally do. Money is voting power & I haven't spent any since "Xbox One (won)".

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Fine for me. User error.

  • IRISHANARCHY199
    CelticTiger (@IRISHANARCHY199) reported

    @KlassischeMann @valvesoftware @Steam I think the main reason for the frustration is the storefront collapsing under the pressure within the first second of the item going up for purchase. I wouldn’t have gotten one myself if I hadn’t brute-forced the continue button on the purchase screen that kept giving errors.

    @lichqueenie @UbisoftSupport @Steam I tried to play Far Cry 3 but it kept crashing constantly. Ubisoft launcher was the issue and best way to fix it was pirating it because it avoids ubi launcher lol
