    @Zoroarts @Steam If the dev makes a game you can finish under 2 hours it's their problem, either add more content, remove the game from steam or live with it.

    @Zoroarts @Steam You made a 4 dollar rage bait game about paddling with your friend you can beat under 2 hours without even trying to. Of course people are gonna refund it, you're not gonna keep an empty burger wrap after eating the bruger. Problem is with the game, not the system.

    @Steam my steam ID had suddenly lost all my friends list. It shows 0. Is there any way to fix it ? ID: dilshad003

  • Reiiz6
    okay (@Reiiz6) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Idk what game you do but adding new game+ with new ending or bad ending or different ending, unlockable skin/item/achievement through multiple run can fix this problem to certain extend

    Carrot King 👑 (@Terkelfisk) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam It is weird to refund a game that they liked. But if they didn't like it, then I don't see a problem with them refunding it, even if they completed it. A short game shouldn't be a work around the two hour refund mark that is Steam's policy.

    @Steam is everything okay? First I was having issues downloading from the Chicago CDN, and now getting a bad gateway error when viewing my wishlist?

    I have gone many years (more than 3yrs) not going on my @Steam account and you know what? I never lost any game or service that I had paid for. They are still there! Eat that @Sony @PlayStation

    @Zoroarts @Steam Anticonsumer ****** *** dev who lies about the numbers. Steams refund policy is the best and your slop of a game wont "fix" something that isnt broken. Next time make a effort to make the game longer than 1h 30mins

    @2K @mafiagame Fix input glyph being blank on steam deck and steam machine? For this and mafia 1 definitive, please? @Steam

  • john_baker7
    Sammy Snivels (@john_baker7) reported

    @flatspritehits @QNDZYcom @Steam Thats because steam doesnt own the game either, once a game is unavailable or shut down steam can only issue you a refund out of their pocket, they cant charge the developer. The main reason is not because they want to keep you money, but because bots buy shut down games to scam

  • Witchmaster
    Witchmaster (@Witchmaster) reported

    @ConanExiles So @steam forced my game to update , despite being hidden. Will you be fixing any of the broken mechanics brought on by this Enhanced con? Let's start small, give me back farenheit temperatures. Oh, and the ability to change mod layouts from the launcher that no one wanted.

  • DamJPaco

    @Steam Hi, I need help to modify my email address. Former email address is unavailable but I get a "error 2" everytime I put the code I received to change my email... Please help !

  • spoocle
    SpoocleMacBoogle (@spoocle) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam This is so stupid, I just can't. With one tweet, he decided to screw over both buyers and short-game developers at the same time. Your refund rate is tied exclusively to your game! I've been making short games for years, and all of my decent games have a refund rate of 5–7%. Games that are less interesting or worse have a much higher rate. It has nothing to do with length. This is not a widespread issue like you're trying to make it out to be — and you only have ONE such review, after all. Moreover, God forbid Steam listens to you or anyone like you in the future. That would immediately hit short games first. So you want a buyer to take a risk buying a short game from an unknown developer, and on top of that, also have to deal with some refund hassle? Well, congratulations — now they'll think twice before buying such a game. And this is despite the fact that, I repeat, this is not a widespread problem. But I'm sure you know that, and you stirred all this up just to boost your sales, just like other devs did before you. Buddy, you've already made enough money, okay? Why act like evil buyers are exploiting the Steam system and ruining a poor developer with hundreds of thousands of sales? You've made small games yourself before. What, not enough money? Why turn into an AAA company and attack people who have the right to refunds? What's wrong with you? @Zoroarts

    @Steam I understand security but I will not digit code press your captchas. I guess I can't play War of Rights cause you are more intersted in farming my data than providing me a service?

    @Steam any idea when going to address 🤔 this outage you have with customers

    @Steam if my vanish worked both the Dragon Ball Z fighter games would be the best with a few issues in the 2D where it becomes like an FTK fighter. they blame me for their mechanics.

    @Zoroarts @Steam Portal 1 is roughly a little over an hour long, yet has never had this issue. Limbo is only a few hours long, and also never had this issue. You can make short games that people won’t want to refund. If people are mass refunding your game, it’s because it isn’t worth the price.

    @Zoroarts @Steam if your game can be finished in 2h its not a game you should add more content then you dont have this problem

    @Steam please how do I get in touch with your support. I cannot login into my account as it has been stolen and I cannot reset my password. I have tried everything on the support websites but no success please help.

    @BryceGuilbert @Zoroarts @Steam For me the test is for those who can only think with dichotomies and blame "If we changed things to accommodate you it might get worse in general so you should stop being so selfish. Go suffer in silence." No compromise? This problem isn't unique and complex

    @TheDailyGamer86 @PlayStation @Steam Hi there 👋🏾 What's seems to be the problem with your PlayStation account?

  • YawenCh69
    Yawen (@YawenCh69) reported

    @Vetrix22 @Zoroarts @Steam $1 for an hour of fun? Yeah- that’s a good deal. No one said games like that are at risk here. I haven’t done that to an indie developer- that’s cruel. Games like MiSide are fun. Worth the money. Not gonna refund. (Although it was beaten in like an hour) Games that charge AAA title prices that end in under an hour or two is unacceptable- I will refund. I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again with a cute smile. Money isn’t the problem- the principal of the situation is.

    @MattyDanner @Steam Hello @MattyDanner, I have a question, if Jose and Panchito have a angry issue and sent there near the water. Will there be 2 Big Reflections of Jose and Panchito's counterparts or just the same reflection as the same order to Devil Donald as he splits himself into a few devils.

    I think with all this bad @PlayStation news I'll keep adding games to my @steam account just in case they really don't fix any of this. Lol but I'ma still play & get games on both. & See what happens when next gen consoles comes out & see if they really will be a ghost town
