    @Moonie__OS @Steam What's the problem? Thre's plenty of games where you can shoot all sorts of people. Do you think that black people need to be shielded from fictional depicted violence in videogames?

    @Steam this better not go through, this is literally the only way i can buy games on steam. terrible move. scammers aren't the problem, the idiots buying from them are since they lack a frontal lobe.

    @greg_opera @Anaya_sharma876 @Steam Yeah, but some very popular multiplayer games I've heard are not compatible with Linux, so I was suggesting that AI could solve that problem yk?

    @Steam TBH: Task Bar Hero distributes unfair bans due to poor cloud implementation without proper explanation, obviously people are unhappy having 0 day(s) since last ban. Please force game developers to solve this issue. If they doubt their vibecoded detection code, unban *all*

    @ChibiReviews People should be losing their **** over the fact that payment processors wouldn't dare touch a game this big that will drag their asses to court if they tried to deny service. Wish @Steam would step up for the games on it's platform too.

    @valvesoftware @Steam This is a ****** service! I reserved one minute past 10 pacific and I’ve been waiting 15 days for a chance to buy it! I could understand if I took my time reserving! Valve you need to do better!

    hey @valvesoftware @Steam plz fix that new workshop UI none like (440 comments atm on the page announcing it, 4/5 of them want the old ui back or an option for it), as it doesn't work of some older version of firefox, while beta did. I can't access to workshop anymore by web. TY

    @UmbrellaFight I'd say Steam's only real issue is discovery, but this is a problem on every platform (and not just for games). I want to see new games, but it's kinda hard to find them. Imagine if @Steam and @X accounts could be linked so Twitter could show games similar to those I like.

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

  • 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.

  • SavageRedCrow
    Alec (@SavageRedCrow) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam I'm glad to hear you guys put some restrictions on the reservation. i hope the steam frame and machine have the same. to be clear i did get a controller during that first round, i could have used 2 but out of fairness i only ordered 1 to let others have a chance. while i literally waited "a min" before trying again i looked at X and saw everyone was having a problem and that spamming worked. i mean it wasn't just like clicking when the button reappeared, i spammed the hell outta that screen for like 10 min.

  • Kyvlash
    Kyvlash (@Kyvlash) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam I’m fine with a reservation system. But this is honestly ridiculous. This is a controller, not a Console. There is no Pandemic. This is normal Supply/Demand. And limiting customers to one reservation is a little silly imo. The demand for the Steam Controller exists, but it’s not going to rival its Console competitors. The outrage is mostly due to the payment system failures rather than people raging out about a non-existent scalper problem.

    @Judokast @Smthingedgy @Steam There's problems with Steam. The review filter is a big one for me. They applied an off topic review bomb filter to a game that rightfully deserved it for censorship.

  • DreamRemnants

    @EA @Steam probably should have extended refund period if this is a known issue.

  • King18Anime
    AnimeKing18 (@King18Anime) reported

    Found an issues with Steam VR when ether trying to load Steam VR or trying to load a VR Game. @Steam and/or @SteamVR would crash. I thougt it was my dying Hard Drive (because sometimes it causes issues) but no, the solution was to unplug my PS5 controller. IDK if its a issue in Steam or Steam VR given I haven't left my PS5 controller plugged in in a while. Also I'm using Linux (CachyOS) and the headset I'm using is the Quest 3 (sadly) @valvesoftware #Linux #VR #Gaming

    @KalitoKalo @YoukaiNewsEN @Steam Do you have a problem with holding people accountable? Just because you like them doesn’t make them immune to the bare ******* minimum standard

    @Moonie__OS @Steam I fail to see an issue.

    RememberToHope (@RememberToHope) reported

    Will the MORONS at @Steam fix Dead Island 2? It's missing the "anti easy cheat" install files after the update, so it can't launch anymore if people uninstall then reinstall it. Your staff are abolute derps. This has been a persisting issue for months (since the last update).

    @NimBold @Steam, this issue needs to be solved fast. The U.S. treasury department has lifted restrictions set on online platforms since January. Saying "you're sanctioned no can do " is extremely unacceptable. We've just come out of a #DigitalBlackOut. That's not a nice welcome.
