    @valvesoftware @steam @CounterStrike please fix

    @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.

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam It's your ****** launcher that's the problem

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam This thing is blown way out of proportion. I do not see a problem with it, nor a reason for it. No internet for 30 days, your game is disabled until you re-connect? Ok lol

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Remove the mandatory Ubisoft Connect login for games bought on Steam and things would already be so much better. Even better, just get rid of Ubisoft Connect entirely.

    @valvesoftware @Steam Just keep selling controllers at the same price till scalpers give up buying, infinite money glitch and then it could be available to all of the customers right now. Would advise for everyone to not even buy the reselling options from ebay. @valvesoftware

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck It is server overload, dummy. Nothing was broken. You are just retarded.

    @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?

    @valvesoftware @Steam Brazilian players want to buy Valve hardware officially, at a fair price, with proper support. We are not asking for magic. Just a legitimate way to buy the product without gambling with bureaucracy and warranty issues.

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Had this issue as well, truly unfortunate they didn't let cart holders hold onto their spot. This error eventually went away after 30-40 mins, and just got a sold out notification at check out. truly cooked.

    @CharlieFlufboi @valvesoftware @Steam Yeah, looks like even people trying to buy it on Steam are running into errors and can’t purchase it lol

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck That is a broken system. Valve knows the base, how you not ganna make enough.... Wut.

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Bro, is this a late April fool? You have perhaps one of the shittiest launchers ever made in pc history. Every ******* time I open Uplay I have to resyinc some **** or login again. Just do yourself a favour, close that Cloaca Maxima and bring your games on Steam already.

  • SigmaTheFox
    Sigma The Fox (@SigmaTheFox) reported

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam clearing steam's download cache does not fix "games not starting" issues at all, ubisoft. it only deletes what is currently being downloaded... Why would a game that relies on your useless launcher not start because of a download happening on steam, when it's ready to play?

  • RGB_MIDAS
    hombo (@RGB_MIDAS) reported

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Actually the issue usually lies within your launcher and not Steam's. There is absolutely no reason why I need to enter my password every time for *some* games but it works fine for others. There has never been a single day where uPlay/Ubisoft Connect has been good.

  • Lucoa_Star65
    Lucoa's Husbano (@Lucoa_Star65) reported

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Here's an easy solution: Delete your ****** DRM Launcher from existence. That will solve the problem.

    Imagine harassing me 4 hours just sending me invites after invites like begging you wanna play with me, doing 3 different accounts on twitch, getting banned 3 times, changing your Steam name almost 5 times and THEN sending me this unban request?! @Steam your blocking system is not working btw.

    @ThisOldGuy3 @Steam @grok I've never played. Is it good? I need a good game to fix my brain.

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck I had no issue. It likely crashed do to high traffic

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam @UbisoftSupport the source of the problem is ur own goddamn launcher and not steam so don't spread misinformation .
