    Can someone please tell me how to deal with a @Steam update glitch? I've been stuck with one for @TheSims 4 for a while (probably on and off for most of the time since I last played in April 2023), so your help would be appreciated 🎮

    My night is going so well tonight… @Steam : “You need to change your password because it’s the one we set for you.” Me: resets password Steam: “that’s not the right password” Me: *goes through the “forgotten password” dialogue* Steam: “Too many login attempts. Try again later”🙃

    @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.

    @obakepam @Steam AI is not a problem. Shovelware predates AI by years.

    @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.

    @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

    @__Amber_Lynn_ @ToanChan_ @Steam it’s uk law, sites with adult content require age verification. there’s been pushback about facial scans and id scans so some some sites have opted for credit cards. problem is credit isn’t as popular over here, i don’t have one either, means ur locked out of 18+ games

    I had my account hacked by some random guy on steam a while back around 2024, Well i contacted steam and they got me my account back within a day but also gave me a free 100 dollars for the trouble I just wanted to make this post because steam is awesome @Steam yall are goats!

  • deepvesperplus
    Vesper+ Expansion🎈 (@deepvesperplus) reported

    Lets 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.

    @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

    @OKarma_OK @Steam @Steam_Support I had this issue and ADCGSECURE took care of it.

  • HHG4Life
    HandheldGaming4Life (@HHG4Life) reported

    EA games are just so bad! The jankie game save setup between @EA and @Steam means your only ever one game crash away from a wiped save file and start over. 🤦 Been racing my son on NFS Heat. Was just leveling up to his level now back to level 1. Ruuuuuuubish!

  • fastpuppy
    FastPuppy (@fastpuppy) reported

    @AndoCal78 @CrimsonDesert_ There are a few reports about the crash in the @Steam discussion board for the game so it isn't an isolated problem and is likely related to the last update. Over 200 hours of playtime this without incident before this.

    @Grummz @Steam And let's not talk about how buggy the Xbox system really is. they have server issues all the time, and I'm speaking from my anecdotal experience. Xbox has had so many major issues in their services. this is because of how sloppy Microslop's work is

    @DragonSnow4 @obakepam @Steam As for government's punishment, failure to disclose AI use should result in the permanent destruction of all their copyright with the inability to file new copyrights until they fix it. Anything created during the time of their lie should be free from copyright too.

    Galen Valdrof (@GalenValdrof) reported

    @MaekaAmaya @Steam While I have zero issues with AI used....as long as it is up front, and I don't care if it was used or not, this is still a good idea and feature. AI is just a new brand of potato chips, allow people to filter it out if they want.

    @Steam What are you doing??? You allow soo many early access that many games become just scams! What is with this release a game and fix it later, the game industry is a disgrace!

    @Altair_laahad @obakepam @Steam All of those are annoying. The one I hated the most from back in the day is finding a old as YT tutorial look at the comments and seeing some reply "I fix the issue" and then not explaining how they fixed everybody would be under the comments ask how and they never replied lol

    @Steam, why does this error occur? Error There was a problem trying to follow this Steam Curator. Possible reasons: You cannot follow a curator that you are already ignoring. You can only follow up to 100 curators at the same time. Limited accounts cannot follow a curator. OK

    @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.
