    @Steam Im more of a fan of being allowed to login to the account I own with my games without being dicked around, too bad steam can't do that it seems

    @EatPantGames It unfortunate that @PlayStation idiocy is causing problems like this for small indie teams and games. Obviously not everyone can do physical release. @Steam has proven they are trustworthy with digital for decades. Hope people support you over there. I will 👍

    @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.

    @ImCadeYT @Steam Despite positivities from Steam Customer Service, Valve (from my experience) takes time for E-Mail or Support Ticket claims, usually a day's time. If you sent the E-Mail today, give it time. Until then grab every document you can, especially purchase information.

    @Steam Hello steam, why is it so troublesome to change a password when you want to login to a new device? I managed to change it somehow. However i cannot login with this new password? Wtf is up with this?

  • zaphraud

    I installed it on a different phone, a spamsung with the latest android instead of the LG, and was able to log in using that and my email. Then fix it. Think that thru. App-based 2FA is worse than nothing. @steam

    @Steam and @FrameworkPuter 's 3rd parties being hacked days apart - exposing all my personal details is just great. Thank you both for your concern regarding the incident. I feel really valued as a customer. /s "Expect fake messages - email, SMS or phone - that mention your hardware order and appear to come from Steam, Valve or a delivery company. They may quote your address back to you to prove they're genuine. They may ask you to confirm a delivery, pay a small customs or redelivery fee, or sign in somewhere to “verify” your order. Treat all of them as fake."

    @PlayStation Change the laws so we own digital games, movies and music we purchase If you want a digital future then we own what we buy and can trade it just like a disc and you’re forced to provide this service otherwise you, @XBOX and @Steam can all go to hell

    Sony should refund people that they take media away from, OR let them ultimately ∞ be able to access it like they paid for, when they bought it in the first place. Look at @Steam for good models of digital ownership. When a game leaves the store, it's no longer purchasable for new players. BUT< anyone that previously purchased that, can play it till they're sick of it. Blackouts will starve gamers, maybe even help them quit gaming... I doubt Sony is going to change their minds... but they can at least give 2TB/4TB nvme's for the prices they're going to expect in the future, and thanks to the size of games down the line too... There's too many sides to this to really bive one definitive solution or answer... but it should start with good online digital store etiquette to help counter the problem they're creating. Monopolies all suck. I hate publisher prices for my region on Steam, but Steam still lets me activate games that I get keys for outside of Steam. The grey market is my second home and steam is the platform to collect the achievements, the cards, the badges, etc. Thanks for that Gabe Newell

    @adredev @Steam "don't trust this man with an self service upload page.... please"

  • 1mantisphoenix
    X|1MantisPhoenix (@1mantisphoenix) reported

    @Masterchiefin21 the problem is that @Steam allows publishers to treat gamers based on where they are from, whereas they should PROMOTE treating ALL GAMERS equally on the steam platform. The very same game above is 1/2 the price because someone lives in China VS South Africa. WTF is the reason for needing more from us Africans?!

    @Steam_Support you really are the GOAT. @Steam usally pulls though. so many years and any problem they do their best. Even if it did not work out they go above and beyond .

    My @UpholdInc card seems to not be working at more and more places since it's been renewed. Didn't work at @Steam and now not working with @DisneyPlus despite putting all the new details in. 🙄

    Is anyone having issues loading into Apex on Steam? I can't get passed the initializing stage. @PlayApex @Steam

  • Witchmaster

    @ConanExiles So @steam forced my game to update , despite being hidden. Will you be fixing any of the broken mechanics brought on by this Enhanced con? Let's start small, give me back farenheit temperatures. Oh, and the ability to change mod layouts from the launcher that no one wanted.

    @AnOutlawPatriot Yeah I do trying to get the game to work. I just restarted my computer think it’s a @Steam issue

    @Steam I understand security but I will not digit code press your captchas. I guess I can't play War of Rights cause you are more intersted in farming my data than providing me a service?

    @CombateMonero @Steam Actually, this isn't the first time they've let me down. I remember during one of the Next Fests, my game only appeared on the page 3 days after the festival started, because there was some kind of error in the system and the game was invisible to everyone.

    @ManthosLappas This is why @valvesoftware and @Steam desperately need to revamp the review system. It's so broken, and the binary up or down leaves no room for truth. This reviewer is also weak, just don't leave a review if it's not your kind of game. "I hate seafood, and I really didn't like the lobster dish that I chose to order" is absolutely worthless to everyone. We need a neutral button for reviewers who think they're helping the devs with feedback (you should join their discord instead), and people like this that just want to hear themselves talk.
