    @EpicGames ypu really need to optimize your website and launcher. My older laptop has trouble loading your site, and can't run your launcher at all. @GOGcom and @Steam have no problems with this, so it's obviously not my old system.

  • EmjBaker0603 Elbo Visuals. (@EmjBaker0603) reported

    My New World uninstalled itself and then I was also logged out of my account, I think this is a steam problem because it happens with Fallout 76 for me as well. @Steam

  • Needlesscape Jake (@Needlesscape) reported

    @Steam really annoyed with you guys right now. I tried to purchase a game and you system told me there was issues with my card and couldn't go through. I come to find out I did get charged. So now I'm out $100 and don't have a game to show for it.

  • MowrysMotors Jake (@MowrysMotors) reported

    @Steam please it has been 5 hours can you please fix my issue

  • NovaKhronos NovaKhronos | CF HXH | (@NovaKhronos) reported

    @ImthejokerTV @Steam Idk wtf happened to your steam but a sure fix would be to unstall steam. Restart your pc. Then reinstall it and it should be fixed.

  • MowrysMotors Jake (@MowrysMotors) reported

    Goddamit @Steam I deleted some saves from a game I don’t play to clear up space and you just out them back. You’re a game service not my mother.

  • keerthan_bhat_ Keerthan Bhat (@keerthan_bhat_) reported

    @RishiAlwani @madhavbanka_ @Steam I got the same error a few months back and it had deleted my whole game library. Hope they fix this soon.

  • James85962607 James (@James85962607) reported

    @Steam Go **** yourself steam refusing refunds for a broken game.

  • AMechasis ArchMechasis (@AMechasis) reported

    @PCGamesN @Steam Steam already has a feature to counter what you're complaining about: "Recent Reviews". I don't think the New World reviews complaining about queue times are invalid. It's a debilitating issue that makes the current experience bad and can cause users to miss the refund window.

  • vomont_twitch vomont_twitch (@vomont_twitch) reported

    @Zeno40046643 @TonyHawkTheGame @Steam I don’t think we will see it on steam. Being it’s from activision. What surprises me is the fact this game is not on blizzard. But crash 4 is. And also to the fact there is still no crossplay. Like. Wtf. This game needs it so everyone can play together. It shouldn’t be hard.

  • HeadsnapTV HeadsnapTV.com (@HeadsnapTV) reported

    Want to do more random tilting & unscheduled content between Headsnap_TV shows on 2nd account “HeadsnapTV” Even Completely disconnected from Steam trying to purchase PbP coins thru mobile app & ERROR @Steam says dev issue but @PixelbyPixelStu says not. Does anyone know a fix?

  • PaulTHFCMurton Paul Murton (@PaulTHFCMurton) reported

    Trying To Login On New PC @Steam Nothing But Problems!

  • samtrevino Sam Trevino (@samtrevino) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam I want to buy a friend a gift of one of your systems but it requires I log in. Dies that mess up his login credentials? Or can he login and keep his game library?

  • HenSt1985 HenrySouth (@HenSt1985) reported

    @Steam I haven't been able to run my steam client today, it kept saying "Unable to connect to steam network". Although, I can "bypass" it by directly running any game, that'd kinda "force" steam client to run and login normally. Any help with that?

  • StanExclusive Stan (@StanExclusive) reported

    @MergeGamesLtd @Steam @DwarfHeim Did y'all fix monster harvest? I wanna play but it's a super buggy game
