Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Rodead (@ProgramRodead) reported@Pirat_Nation good for them, still not removing it from my ignore list. which admittedly still doesn't mean much as @Steam's store page is still broken. fix your store damn it! @Steam_Support
-
Tuna (@Tiny_Tuna) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Doesn't seem like it would be very hard for them to fix. If you get a game completion achievement, then no refund. Ezpz.
-
Gaurav Kakaria (@kakaria) reportedI am not able to sign in to my steam account even after changing my password 3 times successfully. And there is no option to reach out to steam for issue on the website. It only leads to same landing page for changing the password. @Steam @Steam_Support
-
Posh Indie (@PoshIndie) reported@Zoroarts @Steam The problem here is "Your expected playtime" is not "Their expected playtime", and dishonest developers will pad those numbers just to erase the possibility of refunds on short games. The best solution is to just make the game longer, unfortunately. Everything else is abusable.

๐ฎ๐๐๐๐๐ (@crismu17) reported@ArmaPlatform @Steam Game still broken on Xbox ๐ญ
-
Artofmusic (@ArttomusicYay) reported@Zoroarts @Steam You have 1 level what do you expect.... make a longer game can't expect everyone to play for an hour and keep it. Come on its not steams issue.. I have been making games for over 26 years alone. Can't complain if someone beats it in the 2 hours. Thats on you not @Steam
-
HowlingHenry (@HowlingFord) reported@gaersstapa @Zoroarts @Steam He can complain about the system being unfair for short games (it is) but the system is inherently better regardless due to the fact that anyone with tech problems or other limitations can always get their money back after buying a game on steam
-
Thiz (17-3 2x SUPERBOWL CHAMPS) (@Thizlam87) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I think the fix to this is to not make a game that is under 2 hours long. Steam shouldnโt change the 2 hour limit for refunds, I personally think it should be 3 hours.
-
Tom (@tommyownzall) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I found the problem. Make your game have some content so people play it for more than 2 hours.
-
Kiika (@IIKiikaII) reported@Steam FIX YOUR SERVERS PLEASE I CANT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING. CANT PLAY ANYTHING ONLINE. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO OR FIX THE SERVERS
-
Xenos (Ambassador Of Indie Games) (@WrenchOfChaos) reported@PotatoCrispDip @Steam But Steam is the biggest by far so you're losing an insane amount of money & exposure by not having your game on Steam, and there's no reason to keep the store hostile to short games when there's a simple fix. I don't understand defending keeping it that way.
-
N'Tsuki Tia (@NTsuki_Tia) reported@Zoroarts @Steam People will at times be trying to play, have some trouble and be trying to debug it, or just trying to play to see if they like or not, and run go 2 hours before they decide, or confirm if will not work really (specially games that need patching and so so).
-
goz (@gozfrt) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Anticonsumer ****** *** dev who lies about the numbers. Steams refund policy is the best and your slop of a game wont "fix" something that isnt broken. Next time make a effort to make the game longer than 1h 30mins
-
StockStackr (@VeganCatBounce) reportedThe actual problem is I got a new phone # and steam will not let me log in with a password, an email, they are forcing me to give that phone # I can not play war of rights because I refuse to let steam farm me. **** off @Steam
-
ARKS Angel (@arks_angel) reported@Steam is everything okay? First I was having issues downloading from the Chicago CDN, and now getting a bad gateway error when viewing my wishlist?
-
Average Mortis Enjoyer (@MortisEnjoyer) reported@Daewolf @Zoroarts @Steam It is kinda scummy to refund a 5$ game if you enjoyed it, but still, that issue could have been completely avoided if the DLCs were part of the base game (which is lacking in content). A lot of people don't think 5$ is worth it for an hour long game
-
John (@TheCassiniGames) reported@Steam Fix your servers bro ๐ญ
-
Kellanisverycool (@Kellanisvcool) reported@Zoroarts @Steam lol make a game longer than 2 hours dumbass. I can't believe that's an actual issue you're having.
-
JustAGamer (@JustAGamer929) reported@Steam you need to figure out your download speed throttling. I have fiber and just cannot use it for your games. Battlenet doesnโt have this issue. The same 38 gig update there finished in 12 minutes. Yours took an hour. Unacceptable
-
Dani boy (@Daniboy07dani) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Who gives a ****? Take your bullshit and get out of here steam has the best refund policy and the best customer service of all gaming and you want to ruin it because people do a any% speed run of a indie game? Get tf out of here with that
-
Pyr0mander (@Pyr0Mander) reported@BenderFondue @Zoroarts @Steam Also you can't even try to refund a game if you played over 2 hours, so just make the game longer. Also from what he said in the thread its only speedrunners that can play it under 2 hours, so a minority of gamers. Seems like a non issue to me
-
Dee Man Blanco (@TriniCreamHD) reportedhey @valvesoftware @Steam don't tell me to reset my password just for you to deny my login. fix this **** QUICKLY (e84/87)
-
Marokano (@Marokano8888) reported@Zoroarts @Steam That's not a Steam issue, people are just pieces of ****, also you could make game a little longer.
-
Apex Autist (@galaxygash) reported@Zoroarts @Steam absolutely no problem. I'm sorry if that caused/causes you any issues, if anyone cites it or makes the claim, tag me and ill clarify I was mistaken and why.
-
AureusCrush (@AureusCrush) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Idk man feels like you could just idk, make a slightly longer/more challenging game and your issue would be resolved.
-
Caribouwu (@karibuwu) reported@Kijara42 @Zoroarts @Steam We aren't talking about valid returns here though. We're talking about people abusing the return system to get the game for free like the case in the screenshot. If this were a legitimate pricing problem, then reviews would reflect that and call it out as a bad value. (1/2)
-
Lord Tech (@mts_22natoo) reported@TheDailyGamer86 @PlayStation @Steam Hi there ๐๐พ What's seems to be the problem with your PlayStation account?
-
Ets (@ets_vn) reported@Steam please how do I get in touch with your support. I cannot login into my account as it has been stolen and I cannot reset my password. I have tried everything on the support websites but no success please help.
-
Xenos (Ambassador Of Indie Games) (@WrenchOfChaos) reported@PotatoCrispDip @Steam The problem is that you can return any game through steam within 2 weeks and played under 2 hours, and many devs who have made critically acclaimed but very short games have made this same complaint about people beating & returning the game. It's a a problem steam needs to fix
-
Jarad The Sovereign (@bestabyssdad) reported@Zoroarts @Steam cry about it honestly, your niche issue is not going to get in the way of a very good refund policy. make a better game.
