Netleaf 🇺🇸 (@netleaf2) reported@Steam Will you please fix the damn steam client? I just had to redownload a 100GB game because I couldn't move it due to a 'content lock file' error. That is total nonsense, total bullshit. If I had moved the files manually it would have worked fine. But I'd rather cost you money.

-
Thorne (@ThorneAbrams) reported@AntiFurVoreGore @valvesoftware @Steam "Fairness" isn't getting special treatment because you've been a user for a long time. It’s everyone having the same 1-unit limit so the scalpers you’re complaining about can’t drain the stock. You’re asking to be part of the problem.

Aegis of Avalon (@AegisOfAvalon) reported@Pirat_Nation @Steam @valvesoftware In an ideal world yes, but it's more to the effect of a grandfathered in aspect. Roughly 75% of everyone is there, other options are almost moot, as a cult following talks about convenance, and then complains about every aspects it creates. If one want's to be able to refund any game, expect that game to be 100 dollars, especially when purchasing it from a 3rd party store front. Don't mistake the issue. This is not a "Steam" issue, it's an informed consumer issue. So what Gabe Newell says is technically true, but the users are on auto pilot to the next fad, not proper investment. It is the consumer that makes Steam a "monopoly", not Steam/Valve itself. #StopKillingGames #DirectSupport #FundAllocation

NRVDMG (@NRVDMG97) reported@CounterStrike dog **** game full of cheaters 🫠 Why can't @Steam make it that if you have a game ban of any sort you shouldn't be allowed to play online games And multie van bans. gee I wonder how low life this guy is. Fix your ******* game so I can just play against 5 legits!
-
Mr. Killeverything (@MrKillevrything) reported@GooningOnRumble @Steam Wtf? I don't believe that I have ever had this issue.
-
Jeremy Wood (@excitedpixels) reported@Steam @Steam_Support do you have a random shipment generator for orders as it seems you are shipping the steam controllers randomly. I ordered at 57 just before, and my wife's at 18 past because you were broken for her. It's Def not in any kind of order which seems unfair. :(
-
Emmanuel Kant (@EmmanuelKant4) reported@luvk8e @Moonie__OS @Steam The only reason you would have a problem with it is if you’re a traitor.
-
Cobalt ಠ_ಠ Azurean (@CobaltAzurean) reported@PlayWarframe It's probably not you, it's probably the @Steam problems that got reported earlier
-
JuLieMine (@juliemine_rus) reported@2_left_thumbs @JohnTit11284680 @Steam i ran into problem of some games not running well because they turned out to be made on unreal engine or unity. i dont have issues with 2D unity games, but a lot of 3D ones run very poorly. i think most other people dislike certain for proper reasons too.
-
Hayyan (@HayyanCodes) reported@TimSweeneyEpic @EpicGames @Steam Yes, we can buy games on Steam using Visa and Mastercard. Also, providers like nsave now fully support Syria. But on Epic, we can't even claim free games. we can browse the store fine, but the actual checkout/claim process just errors out every time.

Vinnie2004 (@Vinnie20041) reported@Steam Fix steam support Pretty Pretty Please, I need to refund four sims packs.
-
Barry Ticks (@BarryTCks) reported@valvesoftware @Steam just a friendly tip for my favourite company of all time, due to the controller issue recently, limit the steam frame and machine 1 per household, and a similar process to the new controller protocol you just announced. To stop trolls. So we don’t miss out.
-
Burkino 🥇 (@Burkino_1) reported@UmbrellaFight I'd say Steam's only real issue is discovery, but this is a problem on every platform (and not just for games). I want to see new games, but it's kinda hard to find them. Imagine if @Steam and @X accounts could be linked so Twitter could show games similar to those I like.
-
🖤 seph ✨ (@psefonie) reportedso apparently if you have 2fa on your steam account and everything but someone still manages to hack your account and buy games off it steam wont refund you even when it's their fault their 2fa system is clearly broken @Steam !! just so everyone knows
-
🇨🇦Toxic ChudLord Megabased Canadian ManBaby 🇨🇦 (@ToxicChudArtist) reported@Moonie__OS @Steam What's the problem? Thre's plenty of games where you can shoot all sorts of people. Do you think that black people need to be shielded from fictional depicted violence in videogames?
-
Frank🇺🇸 (@C50_FC) reported@fr33thytweaks @Steam If the problem is the hardware, a firmware update isn’t gonna change anything lol
-
CHRISTOPHER D. BRAND (AUTHOR) (@CHRISDBRAND) reportedAnd just to take the piss, I had Invisible War as I bought the two together but that game just crashes on start, which turns out is a well known bug without a fix. So again @Steam cheating me out of a purchase. If they don't refund it I'm not buying from Steam any more. **** 'em.

AnimeKing18 (@King18Anime) reported@Pirat_Nation I love the @Steam support team. Out of all of them Steam support was always there to help and always found a solution to a problem no matter if it's hardware or software. The last time I had to contact Steam support was with a out of warranty Index Controller. They were out of stock at the time and I wanted to see how much they would charge to fix it. After some troubleshooting steps they offered to replace the controller for free (and this was around 2 to 3 months out of warranty). For me I'll buy from Valve before I buy from anyone else, I'm looking forward to the Steam Controller and Steam Frame. @valvesoftware
