    @mighty_claw If theres nothing in Community -> Home -> Dota 2 -> Guides >"Favourited" -> "Subscribed items" and theres also nothing left in your steamcache, then it's not something you´ll be able to fix yourself. In that case, try a Support Ticket at @Steam_Support 's page. Sry Longears :/

    @Steam_Support Your customer support is broken or you don't give a rat's *** about accuracy. I've submitted three requests for a refund for a product and your "people?" keep auto denying it using your broken game stats data.

    @Steam_Support your customer service is terrible

  • judohurley Bryan Hurley (@judohurley) reported

    @Steam_Support Give me a human being to review the request or expect to lose my business. I'm within my term of service to request the refund, and your automated system is broken.

  • TThunderowl Yellow Owl (@TThunderowl) reported

    @Steam_Support Every time I try setting up my controller, pressing "button 1" exits the controller setup page in the app. How do I fix this? It recognizes the button, but doesnt save since its acting like I said "cancel"?
