    @LimePotat @Steam send a message to #CYBERNETIC01 on Instagram they can fix issues like that. I got mine fixed some days back

  • WicketStratton C Stratton (@WicketStratton) reported

    Are there any provisions to request arbitration from @Steam or @Bethesda? Once again they are breaking mods abusing their update-against-your-will clause... I think we should all request some individual not class action arbitration to request compensation for our time to fix.
