    @Nope2112 @Supa_Pat @Steam It's been busted all week at this point. I literally just logged in... and it had me login again.

  • FireflyFirefly7 Retro (@FireflyFirefly7) reported

    @Steam I've been a member of Steam for 17 years and i am leaving the platform. They don't care, never address issues that are reported to them. Never take care of the trolls and creeps. They only care about $$$. Well you will get no more of mine.

    @Steam oh hey look at us, we don't want to pay to have a support staff so let's just make this awful unnavigable help center that doesn't actually cover half the problems that can happen

  • ubercoo Ubercoo (@ubercoo) reported

    Hey @Steam I'm having trouble installing on W10. I've downloaded .exe from your website & reinstalled 3x. Each install automatically goes into the wrong registry directory & only sees OS as 32. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Valve I've used adm cmd to double check OS 1/n

  • Arbnvr Arb (@Arbnvr) reported

    @Steam can we get refunds for NEW WORLD as there are server issues, and its not playable now? Played it for a few hours and now you cant play the game if you work 9-5

  • Nope2112 Nope (@Nope2112) reported

    @Supa_Pat @TheChrisGlass @Steam Sometimes that happen, just wait half an hour or so and it will work again (maybe a day just to be safe), or sometime the client is just wonky, a restart will fix it

  • DragonsouLx5356 DragonsouLx5356 (@DragonsouLx5356) reported

  • _partdeux_ Sloth (@_partdeux_) reported

    @Steam Valve Index = Absolute waste of money. In 2 years Valve have exchanged 1 x controller, 1 x base station, headset due to wiring issue, headset due to display issue. The replacement headset arrived with a differant disply issue. CS almost as shite as the Hardware itself!

    @Steam_Support @Steam Good afternoon I have a problem with steam, it turns out that I bought a game and when I give it to play it appears that it is running but then it always goes away and the game does not start the bad thing is that I spend 3 more I need a solution ☹😔

  • yograj_pandeya Yograj Pandeya (@yograj_pandeya) reported

  • D4N_SP00K D4N_SP00K (Commissions Open) (@D4N_SP00K) reported

    OH, thank god. One of my friends (@TylerSm69572228 ) said that cloud error for TF2 is a glitch and it does nothing....phew. Which means if I skip it it'll do nothing wrong, just a false alarm. Sorry for complaining, Steam! @Steam @Steam_Support

  • Nope2112 Nope (@Nope2112) reported

    @TheChrisGlass @Supa_Pat @Steam Nothing happen on my side, same as always except if I somehow logout, login back will be a pain in the ***

  • Brandon79295430 Brandon (@Brandon79295430) reported

    @MergeGamesLtd @Steam Advertising a broken game? Just so everybody is aware monster harvest does not work! As in literally can’t be played. It’s on the level of cyberpunk and nothing is being done. Multiple people have asked for refunds but merge ignores them. Merge I such a scumbag company

  • jotmaster Julián Olmos Tomeich (@jotmaster) reported

    @Steam Hello! I'm having a technical issue, I can't gift a digital card to a friend's account and for some reason support is refusing to dig more into this issue. Is there any way to escalate this to the developers or technical support?
