    @steam why can't I download Inscryption anymore? I purchased it. I played it yesterday. But today when I try to start it, I just get an error saying the executable it missing. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I tried clearing download cache. I tried changing region.

  • t0iletphish t0iletphish (@t0iletphish) reported

    @deathgroundgame @Steam Since Capcom wants to lag on a new Dino Crisis so hard for remakes of already good games, I figured this was a chance to get my fix. Kickstarted and wishlisted.

  • Anthony62914233 Pimpachu (@Anthony62914233) reported

    @screenrant Good luck with this. I have submitted 4 requests for a refund. Two from today and get the same automated message from @Steam saying I played over 2 hours. They should issue a statement and a universal refund to those who want it.

  • Nqths Nythvn PR 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@Nqths) reported

    @Steam fix your servers

  • Skeebadoobop Brian The Spice Goblin, Geologist Extraordinaire (@Skeebadoobop) reported

    @Steam You have no problem installing whatever the hell you want onto my device, but I need a password every month on the sole device I've ever used you on? How about asking to install **** you fuckboys!

  • ChadAltDelete ChadAltDelete (@ChadAltDelete) reported

    @Steam Won't refund my BF 2042 purchase because I spent over 2 hours trying to fix the most broken BF game in history. It doesn't matter that I have been a loyal customer for YEARS. If you want to treat customers like garbage, you will get the BF/EA treatment too.

  • Heart_attack32 Heart_attack23 (@Heart_attack32) reported

    @Steam hey steam we got a problem what happened to the your playtime's and recently added in the workshop

  • Cassand84410230 Cassandra Cooper (@Cassand84410230) reported

    @KalebPatrick_ @Steam I was recommended to @jetfixcare. He was able to recover my hacked account in less than an hour. He is legit and highly recommended for the service. Go contact him now to get your account back

  • bibikola bibi kola (@bibikola) reported

    @Steam so am waiting to have my account login sorted. After creating a ticket and steam having to most complicated customer support ever. *** the hell do I recover my account

  • s3vens1x helicopter pilot. (@s3vens1x) reported

    @Steam How come it’s impossible to contact @Steam over email? I’m having an issue with battlefield, a completely broken and incomplete product being sold on your store, and it keeps auto-closing.

  • GabrielJijonT Gabriel Jijón (@GabrielJijonT) reported

    @sjfostersound @Steam I think that is a good game, but it have many graphic issues.

  • N_O_1988 N_O_88 (@N_O_1988) reported

    @Steam I need help with purchasing a gift game to my friends but I have an error says :An unexpected error has occurred. Your purchase has not been completed. today is the third day i keep geting this error. Steam wallet is my payment method.

  • MattinMiddletwn Matt in Middletown (@MattinMiddletwn) reported

    @DrizzintahL @Steam Friend of mine way back got hit with the "steam update" deleting their games bug. Got sorted, but the steam update game deletion bug did become an early meme back then. My issue, sometimes Steam won't let you move a game from one drive to another and gives no indication why.

  • yeyosahega USYA (@yeyosahega) reported

    @FatBoyyNate @Steam I have smilar issue but I was recommended to scothack_3 on Instagram he did my few minutes ago you can message him for help

  • ChadAltDelete ChadAltDelete (@ChadAltDelete) reported

    Ive never felt robbed from buying a video game before but @Steam @EA and @Battlefield managed to pull this off. Steam won't refund my $$ because I spent over 2 hours trying to fix a buggy disaster called BF2042. It still is unplayable btw. Great job!

  • fiatmustbedead Umpsumpts (@fiatmustbedead) reported

    @Steam you guys need to reevaluate your refunds policy. @EA_DICE @EA sold me a fundamentally broken product. An only online shooter with no Voip ? please explain with clarify how thats a full and complete working project. no scoreboard? no squad man?

  • mimikakiaddict Seiso Ears (@mimikakiaddict) reported

    @beenu212 @Steam Hey Suha This sounds like it is your card issued by your bank, or your paypal, whichever you used. Steam issues the refunds right away and it's usually up to whoever is processing your payments to put it back in your account.

  • ParthJindal01 Parth Jindal (@ParthJindal01) reported

    @Steam @steam i bought jump force game from steam but the game is not downloading there is an issue, disk write error please help me run my game

  • actuallyadamo ADAMO (@actuallyadamo) reported

    Steam has hit a new concurrent user record of 28.2 million! How long do you think before this record is broken again? #Steam @Steam

  • TabaxiHasWares Oli (@TabaxiHasWares) reported

    @Steam can i get some support for refund requests that keep getting denied, my playtime is outside of 2 hours but the issue i have with the game has been unable to be fixed by game support so i have a broken product that i can't fix or return :)

  • AishaColon14 Aisha Colon (@AishaColon14) reported

    @deathgroundgame @Steam Since Capcom wants to lag on a new Dino Crisis so hard for remakes of already good games, I figured this was a chance to get my fix. Kickstarted and wishlists.

  • rouxrice Rouxrice (@rouxrice) reported

    @Steam servers down AGAIN is a good reminder why physical collecting is still superior. Remind me again why I can't play a game I payed for and have downloaded right now?

  • WalterKarloff Walter (@WalterKarloff) reported

    @beenu212 @Steam This is strange. Refunds happen almost automatically. But i think they only send money back to visa cards. But even if there were a problem with a card, they would just put the money on your steam account. I can only advice you to specifically fill in the ticket on steam support

  • TheDreadlok 💀bigal1775☯️ (@TheDreadlok) reported

    I swear to God, if I get a disconnect penalty cuz @Steam kicked me out of a match for the weekly maintenance.... @DeadByBHVR

  • Jakey_UwU ThatJakeyPlays (@Jakey_UwU) reported

    @KentWeebz @DeadByBHVR @Steam The game is just so glitchy. Every time I open the menu I get a glitch where I question my existence, lose motivation, and wonder if there’s more to life than being tunneled. THATS BEFORE THE GAME STARTS.
