    @VHSDVDBLURAY4K @Steam Anti-piracy is all about maximizing profits.. rather than fighting piracy.. Forcing 70$ games in your face that need patches from day 0.. to fix the game..

    @luizpqsim @jynxzi @Steam Jynxzi just posted "Hey Steam I need help!" then tagged valvesoftware and CounterStrike. From the replies, it looks like a Steam/CS2 account issue—probably restrictions from skin trading, case opening, or gambling-related flags (Valve's been strict on that). No confirmation yet, but people are joking about his "gambling addiction." Hopefully Steam sorts it quick!

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam I guess that's why i choose to play on xbox series x, i set mine as my home xbox and even if there is an internet outage i can still play my games offline

    @cloudiziac @Steam same issue I'm facing, I've been trying for days now. has it been resolved?

    I'm fed up with services that requere banking payments. every time, every ******* time you pay there is some new bullshit that you have to handle. I just want to buy games for my kids on @Steam which i use more than 10 years and have solid collection of games. And i cant ;-( Burn in hell. The fundamental problem is that conventinal system endorse to treat us as ownership of some country. That is, its not that you have some right there, stupid. Its that your country own you and can say what you can and what you cant. I think given current state of technology that obviously allow to bypass that **** its NOT RESPONSIBLE for app developers to play this game. Why? because this game will be eventullay played against you and you kids. Think about that before choosing the force

    @Steam your community hub has some SERIOUS theft issues and this keeps happening. may I suggest you require an external source for artworks for verification purposes or something.

    Hey @Steam, I’m unable to log into my account because of mobile authentication issues. It’s getting really frustrating and I can’t access anything. Please help me fix this ASAP!

    @sid_rpg @Steam I'm using a PS5 controller, but the character feels really heavy and unresponsive—like it's sticking or dragging. The movement isn't smooth at all. Is it my control issue, or is something else going on?

    @Steam So apparently your service can be hacked via cookies. My compromised account then is your fault and you should be liable for security negligence.

  • ThePuddingKing

    for a company like @Steam under the leadership of Gaben, he has really made gaming fun. I've been playing Counter Strike and Half Life 1 ever since I was around 5 years old, and have been with Valve in general ever since. *I'm 26 now* Only critique of everyone there, is there needs to be more Pudding! Butt in all cerealsness (i'm coining that term, silence), i've had nothing but good things when dealing with Support for Steam when i have issues, *minus the part when i tried to refund Helldivers 2 after their whole requiring PSN to play, but that's not that cereal.*

    @Steam @valvesoftware Please fix the @DOTA2 bug in Hero Stats Kills, Assists, Death average calculation. The average is calculated wrong for historic data.

  • cranberryclock

    @DalaranCrater @Steam It was a nightmare, but it got solved. If I used desktop browser it would ask for my steam guard to login, totally fine, then I would scan and it would be like: Now use the app to Confirm…. No notifications, nothing in confirmation. So then I made my way after 20 attempts to a mobile version which allowed me to get to the next screen which required my mobile app, which when it went to the page would just load the page in the app the ask me while in the app to swap screens to verify the number, resulting in a loop restarting the process.

    @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.

    Sydney Louw Butler (@GendoWasRight) reported

    @TankeryChan @valvesoftware @Steam Just FYI, Amazon pulled out of SA temporarily because of how much theft there was in the postal service. It came back after establishing a private shipping network, and clearly is happy with the risk level because Amazon is building a local warehouse here now.

    @Steam get your purchase **** fixed, I've been trying to purchase vampires all day and all I've done was run into problems because of my address which everything is correct. Give me my money back I'm done. Every time I try and purchase this game you're chipping off my money, I want all of my money back I paid $17.88 for this game and I'm not getting that back. You can't charge me for a refund, or get sued it's your choice

    Today was my last Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remaster live stream. I did a /reload command to potentially fix a graphic issue and it permanently disabled my achievements on Steam. @bethesda @Steam #oblivion #steam #twitch

    Honestly players should not be allowed to write reviews on Steam Games until 1. The game has been out for X amount of time and 2. They've actually played an X amount of the game. Most games fail not due to server issues or launch days but due to negative reviews @Steam #Steam

    @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.

    @valvesoftware @Steam Dear @valvesoftware . We stopped playing cs until you fix our issues with the bots. Nowadays, you can't play it anymore. We all know you make billions from bots but still if you made the game only for this and not pure passion, why should we play it?

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Have u try to disconnect your PC from internet for a day, then try run Steam and play games there.

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam It was mis-reported. Everyone gets a 30 day offline license, which converts to a permanent license after you login on the 15th day or later after purchase. All is good.

    I’m noticing a serious issue with cheating and steam is the absolute biggest culprit! They have a system that is tracking bans from multiple games yet they are allowing these accounts to still exist purchase games family share and continue to cheat. @Steam needs to absolutely permanently ban any offender from using the service purchasing games or having access to multiplayer games. This should be standard. If you ******* cheat your banned and you lose your account steam step ******** up! Publishers need to hit steam with lawsuits if they don’t handle business.
