Manthos Lappas | ASTHENIA-GAMESCOM (@ManthosLappas) reported@notskillo @stan_banatan @Steam Honestly, I don't have anything against such reviews, which I do get and always try to fix technical issues to the best of my understanding and abilities. I fully welcome those. Its the other kind of reviews I gotta realize that are part of the "game" and not worry much about.

CC (@bullzwool) reported@InternetH0F I’m sure they’ve had a problem with @Steam all this time… maybe I just haven’t heard abt it 🤔

Rogue Wolf (@Spi3000) reported@ImCadeYT @Steam Despite positivities from Steam Customer Service, Valve (from my experience) takes time for E-Mail or Support Ticket claims, usually a day's time. If you sent the E-Mail today, give it time. Until then grab every document you can, especially purchase information.

PaLM AI - $PALM (@palmaierc) reportedMajor Announcement - Fall 2026 This fall, our local AI harness that rivals everything else currently on the market, root, is going to be shipped as a software product over to @Steam. 1) Publishing the application on Steam will remove the need for a separate signature on the executable. 2) Steam has become the go-to for gaming & creativity related software tools, which goes hand-in-hand with root. 3) Wide accessibility. You acquire it once, and it is yours forever. The Steam Version will not support any cryptocurrency features and all sales revenue will be registered to the Web2 side of our business. It will also be restricted and controlled according to the Terms of Service of Steam and other agreements that the company may become liable to, including a refund policy. We will keep the community updated on the status of the publication. Expect it to happen within a few months. Thank you for your support.

X|1MantisPhoenix (@1mantisphoenix) reportedSony should refund people that they take media away from, OR let them ultimately ∞ be able to access it like they paid for, when they bought it in the first place. Look at @Steam for good models of digital ownership. When a game leaves the store, it's no longer purchasable for new players. BUT< anyone that previously purchased that, can play it till they're sick of it. Blackouts will starve gamers, maybe even help them quit gaming... I doubt Sony is going to change their minds... but they can at least give 2TB/4TB nvme's for the prices they're going to expect in the future, and thanks to the size of games down the line too... There's too many sides to this to really bive one definitive solution or answer... but it should start with good online digital store etiquette to help counter the problem they're creating. Monopolies all suck. I hate publisher prices for my region on Steam, but Steam still lets me activate games that I get keys for outside of Steam. The grey market is my second home and steam is the platform to collect the achievements, the cards, the badges, etc. Thanks for that Gabe Newell

SwimmingLink (@SwimmingLink) reported@Steam The Steam Mobile App crashes upon pulling up the 2FA prompt making it impossible to log in. Please fix.

Mona Roy (@Mona__Roy) reported@monteslu @Steam_Support @Steam that error sucks
-
X|1MantisPhoenix (@1mantisphoenix) reported@Masterchiefin21 the problem is that @Steam allows publishers to treat gamers based on where they are from, whereas they should PROMOTE treating ALL GAMERS equally on the steam platform. The very same game above is 1/2 the price because someone lives in China VS South Africa. WTF is the reason for needing more from us Africans?!

Manthos Lappas | ASTHENIA-GAMESCOM (@ManthosLappas) reported@Kakourakakou @stan_banatan @Steam I totally am fine with such negative reviews, so everyone knows. And we always look into such issues if they occur. And I find those logical, justified reviews that do help us.

👾アイリーン👾 (@Ladybug_bu) reported🫵😡 @grok @Steam @Steam_Support I made an account on EA App and another on Steam — everything went super smooth and easy. But on Steam I’ve got a problem: it won’t let me log into my account, saying I need to close my mom’s session, even though hers is already closed. I’m not sure if the issue is because I’m using my mom’s PC. When I try to log in on Steam from my phone, it says the password is invalid 😩🔒. I’ve already changed it three times through Steam Help Center and still nothing.

Gordon G. Hicks Jr. 🔞 (@Gordon_GHIII) reported@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.

PwrPak (@PwrPak) reported@Steam So you eliminate Nascar Heat and other Nascar base games to promote New Nascar 25 with subscription service , game doesnt allow older PC users to use keyboard, mouse !

Mücadele'ye devam (@yigido50sekiz) reported@Steam I can't connect to the voice room; nothing about your system is stable. Whenever there's an update, a host of problems follows—when will a solution be found for this?

Levi Benoit (@lildeviousdude) reported@Steam @Steam_Support Steam is inaccessible in the profile selection screen without a mouse. Can you guys fix this? I can use spacebar AND enter to select the options bar and even remove the account, but I can’t sign in. Actual L right here

Aaron Li (@polymorpher) reported@Steam Minor issue: audio is choppy with Studio Display via HDMI - USB-C cable, hopefully it will be fixed with software updates / DP cable

الباز (@ALBAZ64) reported@Steam I can't create a Ubisoft Connect account — every attempt fails with "An error occurred while trying to send your request" — so I can't play the Ubisoft games I bought on Steam. Ubisoft has ignored my DM and public post since July 11. Am I eligible for refunds?

how to talk to your dog about doomscrolling (@theangrylisas) reported@GabeNewell @valvesoftware @Steam DoD:S was probably my favorite game ever. The leaked source has a bug in it. The overhead achievement loop breaks on the first unlocked badge, meaning anyone who gets them all is locked to the rifleman badge. Give me repo access and I’ll fix it.

silver Black (@SILVERDEIMONSBL) reported@Steam I have a question: when are you going to launch your own cloud gaming service? I would really love to be able to play the games I buy on my mobile phone, since I don't have a computer. I really miss having a cloud gaming option that lets me play on my phone without needing a PC.
