    Hey @Steam & @DyingLightGame I’ve got a despondent 11 yr-old here who spent the entire day yesterday building up his new game, but when he logged in today, ALL of his progress had completely disappeared. Any clue how to find it? Or how to avoid this issue happening again? Thanks!

  • FlyingDropBear FlyingDropBear (@FlyingDropBear) reported

    @Steam - you can ******* after 18 years of service. This is the one and only refund I've ever requested in that time.

  • BlissMelly Bliss :D (@BlissMelly) reported

    Wow **** @Steam , their new update made my Civ 6 expansion unplayable. It crashed, game won't open after having the expansion for like two days, and they expect me to troll boards and external sites to fix it myself. They refused me a refund on an expansion their update ruined

  • Listenx2speakx1 Barry (@Listenx2speakx1) reported

    @Steam someone is attempting to use my email address without my permission to sign up for your service. I have attempted to contact you via email, but this has been unsuccessful. I need to get this account deleted as it is fraudulent.

    @Steam @OnDeck I think if you pre-order and purchase a steam deck you should let people finally change their login username. We shouldn't be bound by the bad choices from our youth forever.
