  • marluv_21 Maria Luz O.Bation (@marluv_21) reported

    @Iyeetyou1 @Steam I couldn’t log in to my account, I have changed my mobile phone number when I try to log in to the app with my old registered phone number with my original passcode I get an error message. Till I reached out to Unitech_Support on Insta and they assisted me in getting my account.

  • MarcusKesh Marcus Kesh (@MarcusKesh) reported

    So @Steam allows me to download Final Fantasy 14 while on a Mac, then gives me an error message when I try to open it saying "platform not supported", then when I request a refund, it says "this game not eligible for a refund"? Right... thankfully Visa will say otherwise.

  • TurboLucius TurboLucius (@TurboLucius) reported

    @Tyler_McV @valvesoftware @Steam not to mention the "reboot steamvr and try again" error at launch that happens randomly, which shows up... on desktop or the random crashes or the blinking eye glitch during loading screens or the translation errors in the french version (one in the 1st min of dialogue lmao)

  • L_beneficia Naitsirhc (@L_beneficia) reported

    @Steam This game should be free. Ubi can suck my tiny little nuts if they think imma buy a game and all 30 of their broken $10 character additions

  • doc_system doc (@doc_system) reported

    I already have @Steam why would I want *another* gaming service to play *one* game, @EA? I'm grateful Steam has a good refund policy.

  • V1echa V1echa (@V1echa) reported

    @14nLach @Steam thats ******* FUN when you going and clicking every option, you can get to pick, nice ******* error from #steam #csgo #stockholmmajor , lovely :(

  • rheimbrother Richie Heimbrock (@rheimbrother) reported

    I guess @Steam going down seconds after I was making note of how it's been really having more and more issues than usual is on brand at least

  • kapLockwood kirstie lockwood (@kapLockwood) reported

    I mean I would still really, really like it if @Steam_Support would get in touch as this is obviously a problem that is not isolated and it's not good pr to ignore your customers @Steam

  • Efruz_mali Mehmet Ali (@Efruz_mali) reported

    @4caharacters @Steam Hello it also happen my account for 2 months and I tried contacting their service but they always gave me a robot reply so i got in contact with recovery_recovery_account1 on instagram I saw his advert on tv he was the one who got me back into my account he should hlp you

  • MacDrevid Also Dave (@MacDrevid) reported

    @markusmjansson @Steam @ultra_io Pt 1) On steam for example, you have the right to access. Yes, you can theoretically download and if the game is not DRM dependent (another problem web 3 can solve) on steam and play offline but you don't have rights to monetize the game...

  • itstimewithtim Time with Tim (@itstimewithtim) reported

    @LitUnPlay @Steam is there a known issue for download and disk writing speed? Gaben pls

  • Wolfstargamer Grifter Wolf is WolfStarGaming 🏳️‍🌈🎮 (@Wolfstargamer) reported

    @haizy97 @DeadByBHVR @Steam It happens randomly to me, not just Tuesdays. I've had it happen throughout the week. And each time it's maybe 2 minutes. Long enough to lose pips and get a disconnect penalty in the game. But hey. Nothing gets fixed anyway.

  • The_Jxshy man man (@The_Jxshy) reported

    @Steam fix your ******* ****, apex update is just ******* hard stuck and won’t download.

  • bingobrewster bingo brewster 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 #Vets4EU👨‍👨‍👧‍👧FBPE (@bingobrewster) reported

    @steam some of the games on your platform stop working, some take more than 2 hours to diagnose as not working. To say you are not interested if someone cannot play a purchase after 2 hours is not acceptable! I have spent many hours trying to get Startrek Bridge crew to work

  • CaptainSebt Captain SebT (@CaptainSebt) reported

    @Steam why does my download rate never make any sense. My internet is stable 5g can get 40 mb down. So why do small downloads (under 20 gb) jump between 20 mb and 600 kb randomly. Can I fix this? A 17 minute download shouldn't take like an hour when large downloads are stable.

  • crushnaut Crushnaut (@crushnaut) reported

    @Steam_Support @Steam time to start offering refunds on New World purchases. The game is fundamentally broken. I bought a game, not a pass to a beta test, and not a testing job for Amazon. Three refund requests were rejected. How do I appeal?

  • acohade1 Antoine Cohade (@acohade1) reported

    @Steam, some files in my steamcloud got corrupted, and crash a game, is there a way to get access to previous steamcloud files / backups ??

  • _FireKicks PsrK_FireKicks (@_FireKicks) reported

    @Steam Hey ummm you know steam and Apex downloads are broken right?

  • arexhincat Cyberface 🔞 (@arexhincat) reported

    Why is @Steam allowed to sell subscriptions to @EA 's Star Wars: The Old Republic... When it doesn't even work and neither does anything to fix this ****??? Feels like this should be #illegal

  • Sadiku1947 mo bama (@Sadiku1947) reported

    @drewmossy @Steam This guy's will never respond I’ve tried so many times none responded, all I had to do was get an external support specialist who was able to resolve this whole issue of my account getting messed up and it worked out perfectly, his page is @utopiantechh I suggest you look him up

  • fanks1771 Fanks (@fanks1771) reported

    hi @Steam why I can't open main store page via steam client, even though I can open it just fine using firefox browser?? I can open profile, wishlist, community, etc via steam client just fine, but the main featured store page just froze in blank page. pls fix thx

  • BolhuisE Brandon E Bolhuis (@BolhuisE) reported

    so ... finally upgraded my hotspot device thing, from sprint to t-mobile [and from 10Mbps to 20Mbps]. still having problems with getting to play @Elyon_thegame , even just to pass the "Housing Quest", so that i may fully claim my @Twitch #drops. @Steam isn't even connecting smh

  • ItsEclipsa Jordy (@ItsEclipsa) reported

    @KyameronYT @Steam Mate, I genuinely hope you get it sorted. **** like that is a pain. On the upside, when you do get on, you won't be met with server issues.

  • AlexDavis155 Alex Davis (@AlexDavis155) reported

    @DemonNipple @SteamStatus @Steam Bud this guy doesn't work for steam, he's doing it as a service to the community

  • dahnbo danbo (@dahnbo) reported

    @DYeeks @Steam not working either. HARD UNINSTALL NO 🧢

  • Bellboy543 Bellboy Rudland (@Bellboy543) reported

    @ivalenska @Steam Finally my hacked account was perfectly fixed by @Ballersacademy. He is trusted and guaranteed for the service

  • FootballKickass Kickass Football (@FootballKickass) reported

    @Steam @EASPORTSFIFA Where is my FIFA 22 Ultimate Edition??? I bought it in the Halloween sale, played around 60 hours of it. Can log in to my Companion but that's it. It shows I don't own it & need to buy it again?! Someone please contact me & fix this asap. #Fifa22

  • BlueIvyRedWorld RedIvy (@BlueIvyRedWorld) reported

    @Tyler_McV @valvesoftware @Steam This interface is incredibly bad. I don’t get why they don’t just create a flatscreen launcher so this is less annoying and fatiguing and is easier to mod, or they don’t fix it. They just ported a bad flatscreen UI into VR in a way that they should know wouldn’t work.

  • DeliriousZora Delirious Zora (@DeliriousZora) reported

    @SquareEnix @Steam Idk if it's just me, but I still get the can not create profile problem on the older TR games. I refunded them just because all the solutions I've tried never worked.

  • haizy97 Haizy97 (@haizy97) reported

    @Wolfstargamer @DeadByBHVR @Steam Well before u go blaming BHVR make sure its not your steam causing the issue.
