    "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance." yo, @Steam_Support @Steam Let me get a controller.

    @Steam Dear Steam Support, I have been trying to resolve an issue with my account for over a month now. Despite contacting your online support multiple times, I keep receiving a message that my account is tied to a sanctioned country.

    @RealMarcFoxx Okay👍 But I have to criticize @Steam @Steam_Support I have to perform a login to play offline. That's just wrong and have to change.

    @Steam are you using AI in your customer service now? Literally the worst experience I've ever had being locked out of my account! Definitely considering migrating off of this platform. About to tell everyone I know.

  • I_Am_Fred7
    Big Gamer (@I_Am_Fred7) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam Costwise it's feature packed, so I don't really have an issue with the price however the plastics used look a bit cheap. Also the Puck adds another dimension of friction, the controller might work without it but it adds clutter and a point of failure to the system.

  • NEHWind
    N.E.H.-Windzen (@NEHWind) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam Valve, are you shitting me right now? Yes, I've attempted a lot of the same purchase, you just refuse to process any of them. Now I'm locked out for who knows how long, on top of your server problems? Drop the ball harder, I'd love to see what that looks like.

    @Steam Excuse me, but are you having again issues with Visa? I'm trying to buy a game but it keeps saying that it gets rejected.

  • _Geotherma
    Geo Gaming (@_Geotherma) reported

    @Steam One of the big problems is that devs are often pushed to get a high metacritic score or steam rating off the bat for bonuses etc. And if they don't it's seen as a complete failure by the execs and stockholders, which is stupid. In today's gaming world, a game can grow/degrade.

  • ToroLeStrong
    ToroSLB (@ToroLeStrong) reported

    I am tired of needing accounts for every game company. I bought Rayman for my kid on steam. I paid for the game. i own the game, I should be able to click play and play the damn game. Instead I'm staring at @Ubisoft 's broken login system. @Steam should ban devs who require this.

    @valvesoftware @Steam Guys, seriously! what do you have against mexicans? Mexico is like right frikking there! right there, and still you wont ship to this frikking country. 😭 what is you problem? you ship to frikking Canada! for christ sakes 🙄

  • datsharkstrix
    Strix (@datsharkstrix) reported

    @ArmaPlatform @Steam its a waste of money for the console players as devs wasted nearly 8 months doing nothing to fix the game

  • skyshark88
    John Kennedy Peterson (@skyshark88) reported

    @Steam What is the major malfunction with your system? I’ve had to create new account. Try to sign into the old one give reset Passwords. What a ******* nightmare and still can’t sign in what what’s wrong with your system? Same thing happened to my nephew. What’s wrong with your system?

  • olafkswg
    olafkswg - Buying Skins 95% (@olafkswg) reported

    Is this a planned change with no announcement or a bug? Broken trade history suggests the other, @Steam support can't answer this question.

  • TehadmireChris
    Chris Thompson (@TehadmireChris) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam Tried to buy, checkout was broken, now sold out 😭

  • King_INF3RN0
    Adam Orand (@King_INF3RN0) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam Only took 50 minutes of spamming the continue button. Maybe some launch-day payment processing server allocation? Monday at noon pacific is a low time for gaming, might as well, right? Gonna need to fix this for the Machine and Frame...

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam dude, most of the time steam is not the problem but yours.

    @valvesoftware @Steam Already know this will instantly sell out or the site will crash despite people saying it cost too much.

  • 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.

  • Zamaszysty
    Przemek M. (@Zamaszysty) reported

    @TeeJayTheory @valvesoftware @Steam I guess it depends on your grip. I don't see any issues with it at all, but I have large hands and have no issues with reaching anything in any controller I've ever used so far. I don't think I'd have issues here either.

  • M00ncast3r
    MoonCast3r (@M00ncast3r) reported

    @Steam I have been trying to login to my account t through the app but it keeps saying my password or user is wrong when it's not I can change the password or the phone number due to the stupid authentication stuff and I can't receive the codes I've tried everything I wanna login

  • Deimos9119

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Lmao.. It had that error due to server overload.. FROM DEMAND.. You should've clicked more bud.

  • thatguysnipez
    Jordan (@thatguysnipez) reported

    now completely signed out of Steam because setting up an authenticator had me reset my password three separate times and now I can’t get in because it says unable to login due to too many long attempts from this location. @Steam thanks.

    @valvesoftware @Steam Sucks you were able to let me put in money no problem, but let the scalpers buy everything.

  • _the__Goat_
    The Goat (@_the__Goat_) reported

    @benheck @Steam You're not wrong. Yes, I'm fully aware of why Linux hasn't taken over. A major "problem" is bombarding potential users with too many choices (distro, partition scheme, filesystem, etc., etc., etc.) before they even get a login prompt.
