-
Steward (@wolfybbad) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck You just had to keep clicking continue. There was a bajillion users all trying to buy at the same time, no system can handle that its basically a DDoS attack lol.
-
Frank🇺🇸 (@C50_FC) reported@fr33thytweaks @Steam If the problem is the hardware, a firmware update isn’t gonna change anything lol
-
Jamil (@dick_face242) reported@valvesoftware @Steam @valvesoftware you guys do grateful work but the scalpers have made the lanch of the steam controller impossible to buy. I hope there is solution/fix for the controller and for whenever you release the steam machine and the steam frame
-
PhilTheStampede (@PhilTheStampede) reportedGetting sick of this ****. @valvesoftware @Steam @Steam_Support How do you justify this? How are you fixing the issue? Tell BlackRock to kick rocks. Your users will pay you any way you come up with.
-
Kyvlash (@Kyvlash) reported@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.

EVEILCHARM (@EveilCharm) reported@ChibiReviews People should be losing their **** over the fact that payment processors wouldn't dare touch a game this big that will drag their asses to court if they tried to deny service. Wish @Steam would step up for the games on it's platform too.

Henry F (@HFirely) reported@luvk8e @Moonie__OS @Steam Funny how basically all races in USA have no problem with each other except blacks . Why is that ?

ANONXRT-ARCH (@XRTARCH) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Hey tech community, I have a serious question. What if we started a real global movement for affordable hardware? Not just for gaming. Not just for consoles. I mean PCs, laptops, GPUs, CPUs, phones, development machines, networking gear, repair parts, and everything people need to enter the modern digital world. Because right now, the global hardware market is extremely unfair. In some countries, people earn very low monthly wages, but the price of technology is still close to Western pricing, or sometimes even worse because of import taxes, bad local markets, retailer markups, shipping costs, weak availability, and lack of competition. For example, in the Philippines, the average monthly income can be around a few hundred dollars, yet a PS5 or a decent PC build can still cost nearly a full month of income or more. That is not just expensive. That is a wall blocking people from opportunity. And this is not only about entertainment. Affordable hardware gives people access to: Gaming Programming Cybersecurity AI development Content creation Streaming Digital art Engineering Online education Remote work Open source development Repair businesses Tech communities Local startups . A person in a lower-income country could be extremely talented, but if they cannot afford even a basic machine, how are they supposed to compete with someone who has easy access to modern hardware? That is the problem. The world keeps talking about “digital opportunity,” but opportunity means nothing if the tools are locked behind impossible prices. We need better global hardware access. We need fairer regional pricing. We need less abusive import markups. We need stronger refurbished markets. We need more official availability in lower-income countries. We need companies to care about actual local purchasing power. We need right-to-repair support so people can maintain and upgrade what they already own. We need affordable entry-level hardware that is actually useful, not outdated trash sold at inflated prices. This could help millions of people enter the cyber world properly. More developers. More creators. More engineers. More security researchers. More students learning real skills. More gamers building communities. More small businesses. More competition. More innovation from countries that are usually ignored. There is probably a massive amount of talent being wasted worldwide simply because hardware is too expensive. Imagine if more people from the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Brazil, Poland, Romania, Nigeria, Vietnam, and other countries had fair access to proper hardware. The tech world would grow faster. Gaming communities would grow. Open source would grow. Cybersecurity would grow. AI development would grow. Education would improve. Local economies could benefit. Cheap global hardware is not just a consumer issue. It is an education issue. It is a development issue. It is a fairness issue. It is a future economy issue. Technology should not be locked behind broken markets. If we want a real global digital future, then we need to fight for hardware access that actually matches the reality of each country. Fair hardware pricing worldwide would change lives.

Ignyte (@DJignyte) reported@Steam @discord @Windows The CLOSEST thing I got to it working the way I want, is by launching steam or discord via powershell. Which half works (does for Discord). But I launch steam by right-clicking on the icon and selecting 'Friends' so the friends list appears. Which the powershell thing doesnt fix.
-
The Digital Archaeologist (@TheDataTomb) reported@Moonie__OS @Steam It’s a game that teaches about history. I don’t see the problem.
-
William (@WilliamTimeMage) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Just bought mine had no issues. Im in australia if that makes a difference.
-
Emmanuel Kant (@EmmanuelKant4) reported@luvk8e @Moonie__OS @Steam The only reason you would have a problem with it is if you’re a traitor.
-
Chauncey (@chauncey_NYC) reported@studiozaum @Steam Any idea if this will address some of the other sound/voiceover issues? I’ve encountered issues with both the guy at the top of the pylon and the music seller guy in the bazaar, halfway through a conversation the dialogue voice over will just stop playing.
-
Vesper+ Expansion🎈 (@deepvesperplus) reportedLets be real here @valvesoftware has no ***** in this @Steam should be treating the Steam Deck as a loss leader. You're not beholden to investors every quarter. You can afford to eat some margin and make hardware that actually moves the market. Where's the $299 Steam Deck? Where's the $499 Steam Machine? You really think people wouldn't jump on that in a heartbeat? Gaming hardware prices are so messed up right now that Valve could practically own the budget market if it had the nerve to try. @valvesoftware fix it.
-
Vladyslav Rezohlazov (@heavilof) reported@valvesoftware @Steam fix vac, it's false banning people 24/7 but not banning people with very famous pellix
-
Stephen McHugh (@longshotmagoo) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck I knew the controller would sell out fairly quick like but 30 mins is insane haha. Valves biggest problem is filling demand, that's a great problem lol
-
HoundRyS (@HoundofHope) reported@stroopwaffelyt @FzzyBzzy @Steam Having freedom is a problem according to people like you. It's a free market and it's not even telling people commit ****. Don't bring that "it influences people" Personal choice is personal choice just as you are virtue signaling right now.

Dana percefull (@DanapStevep) reported@CaptHardii33600 @Steam @Steam_Support Report your issue to EliXyber here on X

Levi ✨ (@FlockMasterLevi) reported@Slayer_Int777 @Moonie__OS @Steam That’s the problem ********
-
𝓢𝔀𝓪𝓷 ୨ৎ (@1Lelur) reported@Parafolkmore @Steam @ParalivesGame Oh hm, if the cpu temp is higher than recommended then yeah that is an issue. But if the temp is fine I don't think you need to worry about it too much & I find that the "huge" mods get a bit heavy on my pc, but "small mods" such as for costume or optimization aren't as demanding
-
KV12 (@KnightVision12) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck “That’s not demand, that’s a broken purchase system.” ok clanker
-
Maddocks (@fn_maddocks) reported@WeArePlayground go **** yourselfs useless ***** @Steam **** ***** aswell had major problems trying get on fh6 now fixed it all and new problem stuck loading then error message tryed everything **** you I want a refund now !!

transphobic racist (@nodanteowo) reported@Moonie__OS @Steam Everything in order, see no issues
-
Dalanar (@DalanarTV) reported@valvesoftware @Steam I'll just be happy if it doesn't crash or freeze when I try to make my reservation
-
CelticTiger (@IRISHANARCHY199) reported@KlassischeMann @valvesoftware @Steam I think the main reason for the frustration is the storefront collapsing under the pressure within the first second of the item going up for purchase. I wouldn’t have gotten one myself if I hadn’t brute-forced the continue button on the purchase screen that kept giving errors.
-
Josue Roberto (@rsencion) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Guys, seriously! what do you have against mexicans? Mexico is like right frikking there! right there, and still you wont ship to this frikking country. 😭 what is you problem? you ship to frikking Canada! for christ sakes 🙄

Star Scream (@StarScream7wj6) reported@Fen0505 @valvesoftware @Steam Prioritize people who bought and played games on their accounts, this with long service badges, and older than 6 months to a year

Richard (@RichardvH) reported@Moonie__OS @Steam Don’t see an issue?
