ANONXRT-ARCH (@XRTARCH) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Hey tech community, I have a serious question. What if we started a real global movement for affordable hardware? Not just for gaming. Not just for consoles. I mean PCs, laptops, GPUs, CPUs, phones, development machines, networking gear, repair parts, and everything people need to enter the modern digital world. Because right now, the global hardware market is extremely unfair. In some countries, people earn very low monthly wages, but the price of technology is still close to Western pricing, or sometimes even worse because of import taxes, bad local markets, retailer markups, shipping costs, weak availability, and lack of competition. For example, in the Philippines, the average monthly income can be around a few hundred dollars, yet a PS5 or a decent PC build can still cost nearly a full month of income or more. That is not just expensive. That is a wall blocking people from opportunity. And this is not only about entertainment. Affordable hardware gives people access to: Gaming Programming Cybersecurity AI development Content creation Streaming Digital art Engineering Online education Remote work Open source development Repair businesses Tech communities Local startups . A person in a lower-income country could be extremely talented, but if they cannot afford even a basic machine, how are they supposed to compete with someone who has easy access to modern hardware? That is the problem. The world keeps talking about “digital opportunity,” but opportunity means nothing if the tools are locked behind impossible prices. We need better global hardware access. We need fairer regional pricing. We need less abusive import markups. We need stronger refurbished markets. We need more official availability in lower-income countries. We need companies to care about actual local purchasing power. We need right-to-repair support so people can maintain and upgrade what they already own. We need affordable entry-level hardware that is actually useful, not outdated trash sold at inflated prices. This could help millions of people enter the cyber world properly. More developers. More creators. More engineers. More security researchers. More students learning real skills. More gamers building communities. More small businesses. More competition. More innovation from countries that are usually ignored. There is probably a massive amount of talent being wasted worldwide simply because hardware is too expensive. Imagine if more people from the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Brazil, Poland, Romania, Nigeria, Vietnam, and other countries had fair access to proper hardware. The tech world would grow faster. Gaming communities would grow. Open source would grow. Cybersecurity would grow. AI development would grow. Education would improve. Local economies could benefit. Cheap global hardware is not just a consumer issue. It is an education issue. It is a development issue. It is a fairness issue. It is a future economy issue. Technology should not be locked behind broken markets. If we want a real global digital future, then we need to fight for hardware access that actually matches the reality of each country. Fair hardware pricing worldwide would change lives.

Meatball545 (@meatball545) reported@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

Daniel Troiano (@DJT11490) reportedI just finished Poppy Playtime Chapter 1 on @Steam and no achievements popped. Is this a common/known glitch? @mobgamesstudios #achievement #trophy

Barry Ticks (@BarryTCks) reported@valvesoftware @Steam just a friendly tip for my favourite company of all time, due to the controller issue recently, limit the steam frame and machine 1 per household, and a similar process to the new controller protocol you just announced. To stop trolls. So we don’t miss out.

-
Netleaf 🇺🇸 (@netleaf2) reported@Steam Will you please fix the damn steam client? I just had to redownload a 100GB game because I couldn't move it due to a 'content lock file' error. That is total nonsense, total bullshit. If I had moved the files manually it would have worked fine. But I'd rather cost you money.

Alex Stanger (@alexstanger1993) reportedCan someone please tell me how to deal with a @Steam update glitch? I've been stuck with one for @TheSims 4 for a while (probably on and off for most of the time since I last played in April 2023), so your help would be appreciated 🎮
-
plutogam3r (@beestinging7) reported@DigitalActOfGod @Moonie__OS @Steam Steam does allow these. Also I need to say people publish all sorts of games every single day, I bet it is hard to keep up with how much gets published on the platform. Bringing up any issues with a game is one step in the right direction though before automatically thinking

Chauncey (@chauncey_NYC) reported@studiozaum @Steam Any idea if this will address some of the other sound/voiceover issues? I’ve encountered issues with both the guy at the top of the pylon and the music seller guy in the bazaar, halfway through a conversation the dialogue voice over will just stop playing.
