    @Steam any idea when going to address 🤔 this outage you have with customers

  • ArtbyYutami

    @Zoroarts @Steam I am so sorry this happened and Im glad that person commented as a way for you to see your game isnt the issue, even if they are part of the problem. I hope they change this for smaller games.

    @BryceGuilbert @Zoroarts @Steam For me the test is for those who can only think with dichotomies and blame "If we changed things to accommodate you it might get worse in general so you should stop being so selfish. Go suffer in silence." No compromise? This problem isn't unique and complex

    @MeringueRouge @Zoroarts @Steam The issue is proving it. They could beat it say I did not enjoy the time I spent playing it and the window was still open so the refund is not abuse. Hell even in this case they gave a 👍 but if they did not like it was short the refund is still not abuse. Do better work.

    @WastingSanity @Zoroarts @Steam But that would be a problem for certain genre of games, no? For example, certain puzzle genres are fundamentally not replayable, especially if the idea/solution to the puzzle requires planning and thought - and not merely some random generation.

  • RedBeardedJoe
    RedBeardedJoe (@RedBeardedJoe) reported

    @Mikeparkerz @Zoroarts @Steam The issue is thought if you drag it out for too long and people notice no thought into it or its the same as before people go im done anyways you didnt add anything of Value to it too extend it so we should have a Smallish game Refund system and the 2 hour limit one

    Hey @Steam, I'm having trouble reporting a developer who slipped DLC for their pixelated game behind a $31/month pay wall on Patreon behind your back. Your help site is a little outdated and I've wanted a ticket on this topic for months.

    @Zoroarts @Krazerack @Steam I hate people do that.. unless got issues game really bad i understand....or unplayable.. well some people abuse it ... this gonna be problem later

  • TAW_Odoq

    @Zoroarts @Steam seems like a sinple fix... have a steam achievement when you beat the game. If you get the achievement you can't refund the game...

    @monteslu @Steam_Support @Steam controller issues are rough

  • TheTeaVirus
    The Tea Virus (@TheTeaVirus) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Sorry no. Just make your game take longer than 2 hours to beat. You're not the first one with this issue but this is a great policy for consumer rights. I'll never buy a game from someone trying to change that.

  • jcrain1991
    Jim Crain (@jcrain1991) reported

    @Britdissonance @Zoroarts @Steam Thanks for answering that yes you are a simpleton. The average person doesn't beat it in 2 hours. Thats what "average time to beat is 3-4 hours" means. If its a refund for not liking it. Fine. That's perfectly acceptable. Problem is...HE SAID THE GAME WAS GREAT IN THE REVIEW!

  • willemt1981
    Willem (@willemt1981) reported

    @GamingCentral26 The subscription isn't the issue. It's ownership and recovery. Digital libraries only work if verified owners can regain access after a compromise. @Steam has shown this is possible for years.

    @Steam on browser its work fine problem in client

  • AllahingMutant
    AllahingMutant (@AllahingMutant) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Skill issue. Your game is the equivalent of a fat chick that puts out on the first date and is a lousy lay on top of that. If people aren't coming back for seconds, that's on you.

  • ZehliaGaming
    Zehlia (@ZehliaGaming) reported

    @Maxim_Drw @Zoroarts @Steam "Its a ****** game, but fun" if you had fun, its not a ****** game. And if the game is ****, you cant have fun By that first sentence alone, you cant be taken serious and are part of the problem

  • Terkelfisk
    Carrot King 👑 (@Terkelfisk) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam It is weird to refund a game that they liked. But if they didn't like it, then I don't see a problem with them refunding it, even if they completed it. A short game shouldn't be a work around the two hour refund mark that is Steam's policy.

  • FUCKJVLY

    @Steam One of the biggest online markets with millions of users needs a phone service. It’s ******* ridiculous I have to wait hours or days for a reply on a hacked account….. Especially accounts worth thousands.

  • TheWarTank_YT
    TheWarTank (@TheWarTank_YT) reported

    @nogal909 @Zoroarts @Steam I don't have problems with refunds, either. I'm against abusing the refund system, however. But genuinely enjoying the game and refunding is immoral. You are screwing someone else's time and effort, which I find to be an awful attitude and a bad use of the refund system.

  • JustAGamer929
    JustAGamer (@JustAGamer929) reported

    @Steam you need to figure out your download speed throttling. I have fiber and just cannot use it for your games. Battlenet doesn’t have this issue. The same 38 gig update there finished in 12 minutes. Yours took an hour. Unacceptable

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

    @TheDailyGamer86 @PlayStation @Steam Hi there 👋🏾 What's seems to be the problem with your PlayStation account?

  • dingoman5001
    Dingo Love Simulator (@dingoman5001) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam I'm sorry but that is your problem for making a game with barely a triple-digit minute runtime

  • pikachufrankie
    pikachufrankie (@pikachufrankie) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Portal 1 is roughly a little over an hour long, yet has never had this issue. Limbo is only a few hours long, and also never had this issue. You can make short games that people won’t want to refund. If people are mass refunding your game, it’s because it isn’t worth the price.

  • watamelon23
    わためろん (@watamelon23) reported

    @Maxim_Drw @Zoroarts @Steam The problem is that a lot of the time the ways devs add extra playtime to get over 2 hours is just by adding pointless padding. I'd rather just have the great 60 or 90 minute game instead of one that is made worse by padding. Thank you friend.

    Hey @Steam Will you delete my account if I'm not login for 10 years?

  • zynnachin
    Zynner (@zynnachin) reported

    @Shinogi_Trench @BasedBickle @Steam Wow, the game has some glaring issues that it takes playtime to figure out? Because they didn’t adequately playtest it? And I don’t get to speak about it? You are a spiritual slave

  • Ladybug_bu
    👾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.
