    @valvesoftware @Steam Hope it works in browser games, my Steam Deck had weird binding issues with that.

    Imagine harassing me 4 hours just sending me invites after invites like begging you wanna play with me, doing 3 different accounts on twitch, getting banned 3 times, changing your Steam name almost 5 times and THEN sending me this unban request?! @Steam your blocking system is not working btw.

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Apparently it’s not what we thought. PS4 hackers were stealing games. This was a response to that. Buy a game for the duration of the return period it’s a temporary license. After that login and get a new one that’s traditional.

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Why u blaming Steam? when 99% of the issues come from your stupid UPlay launcher and denuvo. the ******* nerve to tweet this...

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Most digital storefronts,including Steam, require a login to verify game licenses; it varies how often. That timer on newly purchased PSN games is to fix a loophole where customers were receiving refunds, but still had access. It'll go away once the 30-day refund window closes.

    **** @Steam and their broken website.

    for a company like @Steam under the leadership of Gaben, he has really made gaming fun. I've been playing Counter Strike and Half Life 1 ever since I was around 5 years old, and have been with Valve in general ever since. *I'm 26 now* Only critique of everyone there, is there needs to be more Pudding! Butt in all cerealsness (i'm coining that term, silence), i've had nothing but good things when dealing with Support for Steam when i have issues, *minus the part when i tried to refund Helldivers 2 after their whole requiring PSN to play, but that's not that cereal.*

    @valvesoftware @Steam Just bought mine had no issues. Im in australia if that makes a difference.

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Listen I had the same issue but if your gonna complain don’t use ai to ******* do it

  • IRISHANARCHY199
    CelticTiger (@IRISHANARCHY199) reported

    @KlassischeMann @valvesoftware @Steam I think the main reason for the frustration is the storefront collapsing under the pressure within the first second of the item going up for purchase. I wouldn’t have gotten one myself if I hadn’t brute-forced the continue button on the purchase screen that kept giving errors.

  • skyshark88
    John Kennedy Peterson (@skyshark88) reported

    @Steam What is the major malfunction with your system? I’ve had to create new account. Try to sign into the old one give reset Passwords. What a ******* nightmare and still can’t sign in what what’s wrong with your system? Same thing happened to my nephew. What’s wrong with your system?

    @valvesoftware @Steam To those getting the “transaction” error just keep spamming continue, it take a minute or two but it will go though!

    @Snowmobile2004 @Steam @OnDeck I'm glad it worked for you, but it looks like a lot of other people have the same issue and tried more times. The algorithm God blessed you

    @Steam @Steam_Support I’ve been trying to checkout the steam controller since it went live keep getting an error and now it’s sold out? I should’ve been able to purchase at 10am pct when I put it in my cart

    Yorks (@yorksoriginal) reported

    @SleepingFumo @Steam Glad someone understands the pain. It's gotten way worse lately too; always had issues but would maybe get 2x the actual playtime logged, annoying, but not the end of the world, but now I'm two hours into Higurashi and somehow already have over 200 hours logged!!!

    ViDEOGOMEZ (@videogomez) reported

    @Null1130250 @valvesoftware @Steam They've had YEARS to fix their international supply problems, I had to buy my Steam Deck from a third party just because I live a few kilometers below Texas.

    @Steam Fix steam support Pretty Pretty Please, I need to refund four sims packs.

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Just make it so your games can be played directly through steam and these problems would cease to exist for people, your launcher IS the problem

  • Zamaszysty
    Przemek M. (@Zamaszysty) reported

    @TeeJayTheory @valvesoftware @Steam I guess it depends on your grip. I don't see any issues with it at all, but I have large hands and have no issues with reaching anything in any controller I've ever used so far. I don't think I'd have issues here either.

    Bigdaddywoodlin (@NotWoodlin94) reported

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Hahahaha wtf are you on about, it doesn’t effect anyone. If you don’t have internet for 30 days that’s your issue not there’s hahaha

    @MatthewJPipoly @valvesoftware @Steam It wasn't sold out with that error. The servers were slammed. If you were smart, you would have kept hitting refresh until you got in.
