Steam Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Shenkay (@shenkay) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Introduce more content extend the gameplay time, problem solved.
-
Xenos (Ambassador Of Indie Games) (@WrenchOfChaos) reported@PotatoCrispDip @Steam I agree that's on them for submitting a short game and acting surprised when they happened, you really just shouldn't submit a short game to Steam in it's current state if you don't want returns, but that doesn't mean it's still a problem that Steam should (and can) fix.
-
The Tea Virus (@TheTeaVirus) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Sorry no. Just make your game take longer than 2 hours to beat. You're not the first one with this issue but this is a great policy for consumer rights. I'll never buy a game from someone trying to change that.
-
valerian tea enjoyer (@platqr) reported@SSameerHRizvi @Zoroarts @Steam No, it’s actually more lenient. You have a month to issue a refund, and playtime doesn’t matter.
-
Xoey (@Xoey80239413) reported@Zoroarts @Steam The problem is there are a million reasons to refund plenty of games hours and hours into playing them, and two hours is the lowest they can make it practically. Honestly I think it should be 10-20 hours, and isn't because people could do that with Call of Duty.
-
𝐁𝐒𝐏𝟑 (@RealBSP3) reported@Zoroarts @Steam They might be falling under some play requirement limit. Maybe that limit is two hours. I've returned two games. I played both for half an hour, and realized one was broken, and the other departed too far from a franchise I loved to keep playing.
-
Balrog🇲🇽 (@SirBalrog23) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Company loses 100% so its not problem for steam
-
Dingo Love Simulator (@dingoman5001) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I'm sorry but that is your problem for making a game with barely a triple-digit minute runtime
-
Atomic Brick Studio (@Bitbybrix) reportedHello @Steam, I bought Sunset Overdrive and Undertale today, but an error occured through my purchase when I bought it. The money was deducted from my card but the Steam app said that the purchase failed due to an incorrect address. I had to redo my purchase for it to work.
-
Raion 🏳️🌈 (Busy Bee Mode) (@MattWilliamson9) reported@Zoroarts @Steam ....no? Look I'm sorry there are *** holes out there doing this to your game, but that doesn't mean the refund policy is the problem, it's just dumb asses abusing the refund policy (which is against T&C). When someone causes a car crash in their BMW, you don't blame the BMW?
-
Todd (Fox) (@Fox_Todd0370) reported@Scorcagon @Zoroarts @Steam No, it called a skill issue, making a game doesn't entitle you to people money because they tried it, if the makers had confidence in this game they would had released a demo. People can determine what they value their time and money, it's not up to the developers.
-
gfodor.id (@gfodor) reported@OlexGameDev @Zoroarts @Steam I don’t need to provide a solution to avoid concluding there isn’t one. I’m pretty confident it can be solved, it’s rooted in a classification problem. I have like 5-10 ideas just sitting that I would try if I worked at Valve and cared enough to try to fix it.
-
Posh Indie (@PoshIndie) reported@Zoroarts @Steam The problem here is "Your expected playtime" is not "Their expected playtime", and dishonest developers will pad those numbers just to erase the possibility of refunds on short games. The best solution is to just make the game longer, unfortunately. Everything else is abusable.
-
🚫👁️Reckless-Unicorn | Demitrieus Kahn (@RecklesUnicorn) reported@Zoroarts @Steam maybe the problem isnt STEAM MAYBE the problem is the amount of content in your game.... MAYBE if it had more gameplay people wouldnt be able to FINISH IT under refund time.... did you think about THAT
-
Thiz (17-3 2x SUPERBOWL CHAMPS) (@Thizlam87) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I think the fix to this is to not make a game that is under 2 hours long. Steam shouldn’t change the 2 hour limit for refunds, I personally think it should be 3 hours.
