Calli Tahmo (@BrokenSerenity) reported@ToanChan_ @Steam yeah ive had this problem for awhile now, and they literally dont give a damn when you ask them why, just spout the usual nonsense about always looking for new ways to make things easier to do then not actually using any of the better methods to age verify...like you account age.

Brenten Smith (@Brenten007) reported@EGOSOFT @Steam @GOGcom Another problem is that one bad mod for a old ship scadia just crashes the game. This is so annoying!!! I love that ship.
-
Galen Valdrof (@GalenValdrof) reported@MaekaAmaya @Steam While I have zero issues with AI used....as long as it is up front, and I don't care if it was used or not, this is still a good idea and feature. AI is just a new brand of potato chips, allow people to filter it out if they want.

Blademan Unit Pi (@blademanunitpi) reportedTurned on #XboxMode on my original ROG ALLY (@ASUS_ROG) — docked with no eGPU — and it completely fixed the disconnection issues I was having with #MarvelRivals and @Steam remote play. Setup: ROG ALLY docked → streaming via Steam Remote Play from my Mac Mini M2 to play on the big screen, using an Xbox controller. Before Xbox Mode it was pretty iffy with random disconnects. After simply rebooting into Xbox Mode, everything ran way smoother and more stable. Honestly the best I’ve ever gotten it to perform. @LinusTech video didn’t really touch on edge cases like this, but just enabling Xbox Mode turned my experience from frustrating to really solid. Anyone else using weird setups with their Ally?

Recep Yılmaz (@fx_tradercp) reported@upgradepcfr @Steam Had same issue @KarenVault resolved it quickly.
-
Abort, Retry, Fail? (@ruinah) reported@1981Graf @NakiVT @Steam For promoting and glamorizing slavery and human abuse. If that's not obvious from a quick glance, that's your problem not mine.

ReaperX7 (@reaperx7gaming) reported@LundukeJournal @Steam wayland is broken trashware. Nobody wants broken trashware. X11 or ****.

Antonio (@AvisadorMtrMdrd) reported@Steam I want to Work with this company, send me the most bored thing and I will fix it
-
AnimeKing18 (@King18Anime) reportedFound an issues with Steam VR when ether trying to load Steam VR or trying to load a VR Game. @Steam and/or @SteamVR would crash. I thougt it was my dying Hard Drive (because sometimes it causes issues) but no, the solution was to unplug my PS5 controller. IDK if its a issue in Steam or Steam VR given I haven't left my PS5 controller plugged in in a while. Also I'm using Linux (CachyOS) and the headset I'm using is the Quest 3 (sadly) @valvesoftware #Linux #VR #Gaming

Aegis of Avalon (@AegisOfAvalon) reported@Pirat_Nation @Steam @valvesoftware In an ideal world yes, but it's more to the effect of a grandfathered in aspect. Roughly 75% of everyone is there, other options are almost moot, as a cult following talks about convenance, and then complains about every aspects it creates. If one want's to be able to refund any game, expect that game to be 100 dollars, especially when purchasing it from a 3rd party store front. Don't mistake the issue. This is not a "Steam" issue, it's an informed consumer issue. So what Gabe Newell says is technically true, but the users are on auto pilot to the next fad, not proper investment. It is the consumer that makes Steam a "monopoly", not Steam/Valve itself. #StopKillingGames #DirectSupport #FundAllocation

myXCuriosity (@myXCuriosity) reported@Pirat_Nation piracy IS proof that demand exists and that the product or service isn't being sold or priced in a way that the customer thinks is worth the effort to pay. piracy is a service issue. a distribution issue. a sales issue. go ask Gabe at @Steam . he's the expert on this.
-
inf (@infirms_re) reported@Steam TBH: Task Bar Hero distributes unfair bans due to poor cloud implementation without proper explanation, obviously people are unhappy having 0 day(s) since last ban. Please force game developers to solve this issue. If they doubt their vibecoded detection code, unban *all*

Javokhir Sindarov (@GMJSindarov) reportedHi X/Twitter Sorry to not speak about chess today, but I have an emergency problem I would need some help from any @Steam / @Steam_Support employee regarding my counter-strike 2 account Please mention anyone I could contact to discuss this matter Thank you !
-
グリム 楓 (@Grim_Maple) reportedSometimes I just want to gift my friends a game on steam, but somehow I can't because of my region. Heck, I'm down to pay whatever it is in their region, just give me an option to! @Steam fix pls I'm begging you
-
Oldman Joey (@OldmanJoey77) reported@PlayStation Most of your customers will just go to @Steam. They have better service and the games don't get removed. Good luck with this idea.
-
Richard (@RichardvH) reported@Moonie__OS @Steam Don’t see an issue?
-
Warren Harris (@Skippytmg) reported@khaliltooshort we should pressure @steam to add a new service to allow customers to order a physical copy of their game.
-
plutogam3r (@beestinging7) reported@DigitalActOfGod @Moonie__OS @Steam Steam does allow these. Also I need to say people publish all sorts of games every single day, I bet it is hard to keep up with how much gets published on the platform. Bringing up any issues with a game is one step in the right direction though before automatically thinking
-
Javokhir Sindarov (@GMJSindarov) reported@Steam @Steam_Support Message from Javokhir's agent and manager : Javokhir didn't get banned, he's not cheating nor anything, He just has a problem with his inventory, and we know steam support could be slow, so he wanted to use his X account as he knows some cs2 people follow him
-
Tim Sweeney (@TimSweeneyEpic) reported@HayyanCodes @EpicGames @Steam Can you make purchases in Syria on Steam? Are any international digital stores in Syria restored? We have unblocked access since the sanctions were lifted, but haven’t found a payment service provider that offers service directly for Syria.
-
Brenten Smith (@Brenten007) reported@EGOSOFT @Steam @GOGcom Now the game keeps ******* crashing, damn it!!! I was flying to the first gate and crashed the game just as it closed. Tried to get the error message and nothing!!!
-
🖤 seph ✨ (@psefonie) reportedso apparently if you have 2fa on your steam account and everything but someone still manages to hack your account and buy games off it steam wont refund you even when it's their fault their 2fa system is clearly broken @Steam !! just so everyone knows
-
Bob "The" 𝔻𝕌₡𝕂 🪔 (@punished_bobda) reported@Moonie__OS @Steam it teaches you empathy for black people so thay you do not whip them too much. what is the problem with this?
-
HorrorAmorata🌌🦑✨The Abysmal Critic (@HAmorata) reported@ServiusTheBear @Steam ... that wasn't my point at all. I think it's hilarious and have 0 issues with it. There's absolutely no reason to remove such a silly nothing.
-
Daniel Ericksen (@Erickdanielson9) reported@Steam @Steam_Support I need help, I can't sign into steam support to enter a ticket because I'm encountering a log in error. I attempted to change my password but have no gone over the attempts. Every PW change kicked me out to an error. Can't find any other way to contact
-
USW444 (@UniversalSWave) reportedHey @Steam. We got a problem.
-
Vesper+ Expansion🎈 (@deepvesperplus) reportedLets be real here @valvesoftware has no ***** in this @Steam should be treating the Steam Deck as a loss leader. You're not beholden to investors every quarter. You can afford to eat some margin and make hardware that actually moves the market. Where's the $299 Steam Deck? Where's the $499 Steam Machine? You really think people wouldn't jump on that in a heartbeat? Gaming hardware prices are so messed up right now that Valve could practically own the budget market if it had the nerve to try. @valvesoftware fix it.

Leo 🥸 (@Bristian_Flores) reported@Steam @IOInteractive Please fix the collectibles achievements 😓😭
-
HeroGamer (@herogamer0108) reported@ShiroSaints777 @Steam What's the error showing?

Renki, The floof that stare at your paws. (@RenkiFloof) reportedHey @Steam , Could you please fix your ****? I"m tired to have friend trying/wanting to gift a game, but due to region, or them being overseas, they just can't freaking do it. YET.. I CAN do and send gift to them, make it make a dang sense. Literally can't get games from friends.
