  • Oophaga2 Oophaga (@Oophaga2) reported

    @Halo @Steam Please please please, for the love of Master Chief….fix the terrible issues with the campaign on PC. It is terribly optimized and nearly unplayable.

  • bersealia Bersealia Dreamheart (@bersealia) reported

    @TalesTori @Steam Well, ****. I have no idea what to do. I have a Steam but don’t socialize on it, so I’ve never had to deal with this problem. I’m sorry, but I don’t know how to help you. 😰

  • mighty_m_k Mighty_MK (@mighty_m_k) reported

    @Steam I was wondering if it's possible to add brightness control for Guide Button for @Xbox controller (mainly #XboxSeriesX controller). You added compatibility with Share Button (which is still not working in official Xbox Accessories app on Windows 10) so maybe it's possible.

  • PPirate27 Fae_Wolf_ (@PPirate27) reported

    @Steam Managed to fix the Europa and Naruto series 0% off discount bug why can't the Final Fantasy and Dark souls ones be fixed its been 3 days 3!! FRIIICKING days!!

  • BadgerWThumbs Possible Bad Influencer (@BadgerWThumbs) reported

    Anyone else have issues with @Steam voice chat requests immediately cancelling out right after you click to connect? #Steam

  • shinmai Cute Notman MGS boss "coder 🇸 🇭 🇮 🇳 🇲 🇦 🇮" (@shinmai) reported

    Platforms who can't send SMSs reliably ******* stop using SMS as part of your 2FA systems. I'm looking at you @Steam. I'm not "having trouble receiving text messages from Steam", you're having trouble sending SMS messages to me, literally every other sender can reach me fine.

  • ditsky_gaming Ditsky_Gaming (@ditsky_gaming) reported

    @MoonglowBay @Steam @MoonglowBay xbox fix? Or least give us a mini patch just so we can free ourselves and keep playing! PLEASE! I totally understand it's difficult but just do a mini patch so we can least keep playing?

  • MishiY10 Mishi Y (@MishiY10) reported

    @JadePrincessMew Check my posts for the full info and proof this person has NOT called the police because they are actually the one harassing and slandering people with libellous and out of context "name & shame" attempts which breaks @Steam Terms of Service and is illegal.

  • DanielJia15 RandomUser (@DanielJia15) reported

    @Steam Please help Tf2 the game has bots that can practically ban you from casual, casual is broken as hell im begging you Valve help

  • SpawnSlayers brandon (@SpawnSlayers) reported

    @playrust @Steam yesterday my steam account got hacked. I havent played rust for months. my account tells me I played it yesterday. NOW im banned on rust for using cheats. I'VE NEVER PLAYED RUST. I played it around 3 or 4 times. someone fix these issues

  • ftlof702 Connor Elliott (@ftlof702) reported

    @Steam hey, based on the precedent set by Steam refunding a customer for battlefield 2042 bugs and issues, in that case after 24hrs playtime, I made a request that has been rejected? Please advise

  • kaso_frank Frank Kaso (@kaso_frank) reported

    @Steam Hi guys, something's gone wrong with your support site, I'm trying to open an account support query, and I always receive this error message: We had trouble verifying your captcha, please try to complete the captcha again.

  • Mikaela40691870 Mikamatic (@Mikaela40691870) reported

    @Steam Hi, I'm trying to send a gift card to a friend in a different region and I am unable to do so, is this a temporary error or something by design?

  • coma_the_one sil be (@coma_the_one) reported

    @Steam can't start sea of thieves, service not available

  • MishiY10 Mishi Y (@MishiY10) reported

    All the aforementioned rules were broken by @JadePrincessMew and if police were actually called by @JadePrincessMew they would correct their false claims and tell them this, as I'm sure @Steam has already.

  • Hamster3468 Hamster (@Hamster3468) reported

    @Steam Your support is so biased they can't issue refunds for 2042 thats sad 90% want a refund so where the refund when this game is worse then Cyberpunk so why not have an exception for that you fools

  • cschoefter Cory Schoefter (@cschoefter) reported

    @madrugaworks Don't buy Dawn of Man! It is highly broken and the development team has issued zero updates and apparently abandoned the project. I've submitted a refund request from @Steam and if you bought this game you should also request a refund because this game is definitely not worth it.

  • AriRupusu Ari (@AriRupusu) reported

    @Steam let us change our login credentials you absolute pieces of ****

  • AsneeLamon Asnee Lamon (@AsneeLamon) reported

    @nojams_nohams @Steam You’re just wasting your time with them, their support takes forever. I had similar issue and lost about $53k until I sent a request to techofficer_gary on Instagram. He help me retrieve my account and funds. You can send him a request for assistance

  • PPirate27 Fae_Wolf_ (@PPirate27) reported

    @Steam Figured out a fix yet for games not showing a discount despite being on the featured franchise list????? Its been a whole day nothing by silence. This sale doesn't last all year you know? Despite the name of it.

  • KojoPhoenix Kojo (@KojoPhoenix) reported

    Hey, @Steam your Android app is broken. It logged me out at some point for some reason and I can't log in again due to endless captchas.

  • MishiY10 Mishi Y (@MishiY10) reported

    At what point does speaking like this to someone who claims a friend of yours on @Steam is being offensive and poses a risk to minors, then posting broken up screenshots to twitter with insults about them become you being harassed across multiple accounts @JadePrincessMew

  • lts_Krisz Villás Kifli (@lts_Krisz) reported

    @Steam Hi steam! Im trying to buy security breach but i dont get any gmail or bank notification. I tried it 2 times but its still not working

  • LeHighburyFC MitJ (@LeHighburyFC) reported

    @Steam pls make the perennial "Updating Stream" stop. Fix the issue asap pls. Looks like everyone is reporting it. #Steam #Update

  • RadVen3 RadVen (@RadVen3) reported

    @BandaiNamcoUK @Steam Taiko fix patch on PC?

  • Ky_Cosplays Trash_Panda (@Ky_Cosplays) reported

    @TalesTori @Steam Which is so stupid, as for someone who went for IT and didn’t finish but knows it it’s not that hard to go into the code and do a look over. It’s the time part that they don’t want to do, and that things that they would look for could create errors if not don right. But it’s dumb

  • MishiY10 Mishi Y (@MishiY10) reported

    At what point is speaking like this to someone who claims a friend of yours on @Steam is being offensive and poses a risk to people, then posting broken up screenshots to twitter with insults about them become you being harassed across multiple accounts? 🧐 @JadePrincessMew

  • Jonnytron Jonny (@Jonnytron) reported

    It's dumb that games like #AssassinsCreedVallhalla can't be played without constant updates. I notice this problem from games in my @Steam collection less because starting steam queues up updates for everything. It still seems like the "always online" addiction is bad for users.

  • jesseballzy Ballzy (@jesseballzy) reported

    @Steam what’s the point in your steam sale if your check out is so messed up that by the time you get the funds in your wallet, your treated with error to many purchases, and restricted for 72 ******* hours from spending the funds you loaded onto the account.

  • LeHighburyFC MitJ (@LeHighburyFC) reported

    @Steam pls make the perennial "Updating Steam" stop. Fix the issue asap pls. Looks like everyone is reporting it. #Steam #Update
