    @Steam Your vac ban appeal service is aids. My friend just got truly false banned for trying to revisit an old classic. I was watching his screen over discord and he wasn't cheating. The fact you can not appeal is bullshit. Thanks for the ****** ****** service

    Hey @Steam & @DyingLightGame I’ve got a despondent 11 yr-old here who spent the entire day yesterday building up his new game, but when he logged in today, ALL of his progress had completely disappeared. Any clue how to find it? Or how to avoid this issue happening again? Thanks!

  • TheIkeHill Ike Hill (@TheIkeHill) reported

    @Steam @OnDeck I think if you pre-order and purchase a steam deck you should let people finally change their login username. We shouldn't be bound by the bad choices from our youth forever.

    I understand that support for Team Fortress 2 has dried up in recent years, but it still rakes in huge player numbers (63,224 in only the past hour alone, according to Steam Charts) and @valvesoftware / @Steam / @TeamFortress still has a responsibility with these issues.

  • Mischiefing_ Mischief (@Mischiefing_) reported

    @ChrisO04834529 @Steam I believe Steam are having server connection issues currently. Experiencing a similar problem
