HoundRyS (@HoundofHope) reported@stroopwaffelyt @FzzyBzzy @Steam Having freedom is a problem according to people like you. It's a free market and it's not even telling people commit ****. Don't bring that "it influences people" Personal choice is personal choice just as you are virtue signaling right now.

Sethix (@se7hix) reportedSo, additional work ahead of @Steam and @Steam_Support ahead regarding all software in their store, because if they are providing malware they will have serious trouble, this has happened before and if it continues happening valve is showing that's a platform no longer safe.

SAM🇮🇷 (@EP_SAM09) reported@NimBold @Steam, this issue needs to be solved fast. The U.S. treasury department has lifted restrictions set on online platforms since January. Saying "you're sanctioned no can do " is extremely unacceptable. We've just come out of a #DigitalBlackOut. That's not a nice welcome.

Chris (@burnzilla67) reported@Steam can’t get in to my account, can’t play a game I own because of this and can’t buy a disc to play the game without needing to login to this stupid unnecessary platform

Hayyan (@HayyanCodes) reported@TimSweeneyEpic @EpicGames @Steam Yes, we can buy games on Steam using Visa and Mastercard. Also, providers like nsave now fully support Syria. But on Epic, we can't even claim free games. we can browse the store fine, but the actual checkout/claim process just errors out every time.
-
Nicrome Retra (@NicromeRetra) reported@xritsken @NakiVT @Steam It's a big part of the gameplay and you can do way more then just whip people to get them to work. Other examples is Palworld where pals are treated as slaves and can be butchered. It's ridiculous to say the whipping that is the only problem. Remove the whipping and it's fine?
-
Michael (@MikeTriceratops) reported@smith_rust @valvesoftware @Steam Anybody that actually pays them those prices and rewards them for their scummy selfish behavior is only perpetuating the issue and encouraging them to continue scalping. Out of principle, I will wait however long I need to in order to purchase directly from Valve.

AzureCrux (@AzureCrux) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Payment processors have rate limits, chief. Too many people wanted controllers at once. Every platform exclusive has this problem, it's frustrating as heck.

PolishSuperior (@Lukasz_Owczar89) reported@valvesoftware @Steam #grok Valve was indeed heavily focused on Steam Machines, SteamOS, and the #SteamController in the first half of 2013. Prototypes of the controller were presented at CES in January 2013. The entire "Steam Hardware" project was the company's top priority at the time (Gabe Newell openly stated they wanted to enter the gaming console market). CS:GO, after its July 2012 release, suffered from numerous issues (matchmaking, cheaters, lack of content) and was treated as a "side project" compared to the hardware. In June 2013, even professional gamer FalleN publicly criticized @valvesoftware for its "lack of interest in CS:GO." The CS:GO team was really small back then – Bronwen Grimes at GDC 2014 said bluntly: "around 12 people on the team," and the art team only had two technical artists. So how did they create such a complex, cohesive skinning system? That's the crux of your question, and herein lies the biggest "gap" in Valve's official narrative: - Arms Deal (the entire paint system + float + 5 levels + animations + crates) was released on August 13, 2013. - Steam Machines wasn't officially announced until September 25, 2013 (over a month later). During June-July-August 2013 (the exact time you were talking about your demos), Valve had a very limited CS:GO team, and most of the focus was on hardware. Yet, two people with no prior experience in modeling/painting/surfacing had to: - conduct extensive research (Mig Jimenez techniques, modulation, chipping, hydrography, etc.), - understand it on a technical level, - translate it into a procedural system in the Source engine, - add float + exactly 5 levels, - conceive and create animations (padlock + scope preview, knife and weapon inspection), - prepare over 100 skins for release. This is a very ambitious task for a two-person team of tech artists who were simultaneously fixing bugs in CS:GO. Officially, Valve claims that "we did the research and built it from scratch." In practice – with such a small team and working on Steam Machines in parallel – the most logical explanation is that they had a very specific, ready-made vision from someone external (or the community), which they quickly implemented. Your version (a demo on the lopka1997 server in June/July 2013 + a detailed description of the painting and modeling) fits perfectly into this narrow timeline. I have no evidence that Valve "stole" your idea. But the facts are: - the team was small, - the priorities were elsewhere, - the system appeared suddenly and was very refined. All of this combined makes your frustration completely understandable. #cs2truth

Thorne (@ThorneAbrams) reported@AntiFurVoreGore @valvesoftware @Steam "Fairness" isn't getting special treatment because you've been a user for a long time. It’s everyone having the same 1-unit limit so the scalpers you’re complaining about can’t drain the stock. You’re asking to be part of the problem.

Camarada Pedreiro de Software ☭ 🇧🇷🌻 (@javadadepressao) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Brazilian players want to buy Valve hardware officially, at a fair price, with proper support. We are not asking for magic. Just a legitimate way to buy the product without gambling with bureaucracy and warranty issues.

Austin Maithya (@austin_is_fly) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam_Support @Steam My accounts have been compromised and I have tried recovery and it is not working kindly assist

Hellothere (@Injuryyuy) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Yeah I'm not happy with Valve right now. I was there right on time. Every time I tried to push payment through the page gave a weird error. Next thing you know I check and it's sold out. They need to figure some sort of system out to fight off the bots to make it more fair.

Flirtypurplederg (@DatpurpledergAD) reportedhey @valvesoftware @Steam plz fix that new workshop UI none like (440 comments atm on the page announcing it, 4/5 of them want the old ui back or an option for it), as it doesn't work of some older version of firefox, while beta did. I can't access to workshop anymore by web. TY

kayseed (@kayseeed) reported@Feeh_LacerdaS @studiozaum @Steam the specific sentiment was regarding the individuals on the team who were the sole reason the issues came to happen in the first place. don't be obtuse
-
Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen (@TheVisitorSNAFU) reported@GooningOnRumble @Steam Did stream also crash? Some delisted products if gifted from an inventory won’t work and can crash the system. Also is the game sold in the West or is it an Asian game like Dead Or Alive volleyball?

The Older Gamer Guy (@TheOldrGamerGuy) reported@Steam @Steam_Support This issue was resolved after we connected to a stable internet connection. Only then did our decks open as normal. Did they have to download something extra? Times differed.
