    @Activision your call of duty games are on sale on @Steam but after installing the game or dlc the games dont load or keep crashing after trying to play them, whats going on here? its only happening during this sale, we need a fix or we're forced to refund broken games.

  • kenhoagland Ken Hoagland (@kenhoagland) reported

    Nearly 1,000 posted in the last 48 hours that an expensive game--XCom2--no longer works because of a launcher problem on @Steam by @FiraxisGames. They are either on vacation or don't much care about bad branding. Crickets. Is "sorry; we know, a fix is coming" asking too much?

  • HypeLevels HypeLevels (@HypeLevels) reported

    @Steam + wiped my computer TWICE and didn't install any of the known apps to cause VAC errors... I would appreciate if what is described as "Gameplay or Technical issue" would actually help you fix the issue instead of redirecting you to the nearest PC Technician...

    @TRDSgame @EpicGames @Steam To comments criticising you, because most of them are right! So yeah, you have made a lot of old fans mad, probably made yourself lose money, scammed old players, traumatised my cousin, ruined your game and lost a lot of your fan base! Fix your game or give refunds.

  • HypeLevels HypeLevels (@HypeLevels) reported

    @Steam Did I really open a ticket, wait, only to get a generic answer that does not help me fix the issue whatsoever? How is me getting disconnected DURING my matches, NOT BEFORE, DURING (eventually causing game bans to which I cannot appeal) caused by one of my apps if I have +

  • sundaywaters2 sunday (@sundaywaters2) reported

    @TRDSgame @EpicGames @Steam It doesn’t feel like the game that me and my friend would have fun on anymore, why would you fix graphics that weren’t broken? I hate them, And don’t get me started on the wizard, why would you make it so that you have to pay to do deliveries? I am able to becasue I (3/?)

  • Cent88318164 Cent (@Cent88318164) reported

    @lairro @Steam I had the same issues....so I contacted support services with hope I could get it back but I didn't get it back then I lost hope until was referred to global_protect_security on Instagram first I thought they were scammers until they recovered it.

  • Rothii2 Reach Around Yuh Rothii (@Rothii2) reported

    Love how @DeadByBHVR because "disconnected from host" and not by my choice I get penalized yet didnt do anything to provoke a disconnect and here we are. Why cant there be a "leave the match" penalty instead of a overall penalty when @Steam goes down and the likes?

  • LaserSharkDFB LaserShark (@LaserSharkDFB) reported

    @Steam "Sounds good, I love me a good management sim, let's just open the steam page and..." Overall Reviews: Mixed (2,636 reviews) Recent Reviews: Mostly Negative (62 reviews) "...ohhh. Oh, noooo..." Sounds like the game has potential but the Devs are trash and refuse to fix bugs.

  • richardsmith300 Richard Smith (@richardsmith300) reported

    @Steam This is a bit of joke isn’t it?You put this on sale but the launcher has been broken for 2 days so it’s effectively unplayable. Why is there no reference to this or update as to what’s being done about it? @2ksupport
