    @LinuxElitist__ @Steam I have too many games with Steam to just walk away so they need to fix this issue

  • ClearCarbon Chris Hunt (@ClearCarbon) reported

    Hey @Steam can you please stop selling games that actually just launch in origin. I wouldn't care if origin actually worked but every time I either get an error about EA Desktop not being able to run at the same time or asked to sign in again. Its making Steam look bad.

  • harmon_jayy Jay (@harmon_jayy) reported

    @jdrakonius @Steam Had exactly the same issue but i was helped by a hacker called HintCrack on Instagram he's the best. Text or WhatsApp him +14144854707

  • sheturtle mika jr. (@sheturtle) reported

    @N26_Support Someone in the US used my card without my permission to purchase something on @Steam. I have requested a new card. Please look into the issue immediately.

  • A350100B A350100BA (@A350100B) reported

    @Steam Hiya i've been having issues with making a purchase over the past 2 days? I've called up my bank and they've said there isnt a issue but when I attempt to purchase the game it says that my card was declined, any idea why?

  • robchannels Robert (@robchannels) reported

    @jbxclusive @Steam Wanted it to be great but was just so broken when it came out

  • clintonduncan Clinton Duncan (@clintonduncan) reported

    @Steam Of all the software on my computer, yours is the one I use most, and yet it is far and away the MOST ugly, with poor UX and embarrassing UI. Please fix.

  • WheelieOtter Wheelie Otterton🌻🦦 (@WheelieOtter) reported

    @Steam 23.5 hours later and the blame has shifted to the graphics driver. After being told that it's a USB problem. Color me skeptical. Why does it take a full day to get a response?

  • joanblu2 joanblu (@joanblu2) reported

    @Steam @Murugiah_ @MikeMirandi So since the Steam Deck is coming soon I'll let you know about a problem. When you switch a game from Windows to Linux, the save files are won't move to the Linux version. So that might be an incovenient that you might wanna fix for better user experience. Best wishes.

  • Dlharp2 David L. Harper (@Dlharp2) reported

    @Steam Hello all persons including Steam, my name's, Kawika, and I have desert manners. Recently, I completed my padoga of truth tables passing the Taj Mahal! Haha Anyway, that weird glitch where the password change doesn't register and support can't be contacted is happening.

  • klehtawn Clayton Tapp (@klehtawn) reported

    @Steam can we change our login names yet? you mentioned that was going to available soon.

  • _tuxedocat Tuxedo Cat (@_tuxedocat) reported

    @Steam is steam down? i can't login, can't change password, and steam guard isn't the name codes....i just want to play games tonight :(

  • Frislok1 Frislok (@Frislok1) reported

    @Ledo621 @Steam @valvesoftware no one knows you can actually pirate half life alyx to get workshop tools (s2fm too), but most of the models will be error

  • eddyrey63 Ed (@eddyrey63) reported

    My piece of advice: don't EVER think to buy Dangerous Waters through @Steam, there's something wrong with it, and the staff at customer service won't ever be helpful with you: they will always repeat the same script without bothering in having a meaningful conversation.

  • adamsco111 Adamsco (@adamsco111) reported

    @Bobveela @Steam Support never responds i tried so many times none responded, all I had to do was get an external support specialist who was able to resolve this whole issue of my account getting messed up and it worked out perfectly, his page is @toozfiz on Instagram I suggest you look him up

  • subbyshiarra Frisky Kitten {💉/BLM} (@subbyshiarra) reported

    @Steam I'm overwhelmed....by my inability to purchase any of my holiday gifts for my friends for over 24 hours due to only getting errors :D

  • daveloukola Dave Loukola (@daveloukola) reported

    @Steam I've bought games with Steam in the past, but it could use a UI update which makes me think it's a service of the past. Therefore when I had the option of services, I went elsewhere. Change my mind with an update for next time.

  • CerBerUs_IX Nicky? (@CerBerUs_IX) reported

    Has the @Steam store been broken for anyone else? I can't even put multiple things in my cart or complete an transaction. I reinstalled already.

  • _leenarosae Rosae (@_leenarosae) reported

    @Axox54604859 @Steam Send a message to klean_hacks on Instagram he is specialized in fixing hacked/disabled/suspended/locked account, also deals with scammed money issue, as long as you have a proof and account which money was sent

  • glennmetdubbeln Glenn Kleinwold (@glennmetdubbeln) reported

    Great service @steam @Steam_Support bought the f1 2021 game for €42 and start playing. And not even 6 days later you offer the game for €12? But because i pass the 2 hour mark i cant get any compensation? What a joke

  • esspeearr The Manager of The Festive Hotel Bastardos (@esspeearr) reported

    I don't know how they've done it but @Steam have taken a game that's worked for *years* (HL2 Ep1) and broken it, during the stage of evacuating citizens to the trains. *slow hand clap*

  • Axox54604859 Axox (@Axox54604859) reported

    @Steam Hi, When I run the Forza horizon 5 that I bought from Steam Store on my Windows PC it requires login if I press Enter or press X either way, so I can't log in to log in

    What the f.. is this sh*t "It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours. Please wait a while before trying again." @Steam First there is a problem with "unexpected error" and now you say I am buying a lot of stuff so I need to wait.
