    Can someone please tell me how to deal with a @Steam update glitch? I've been stuck with one for @TheSims 4 for a while (probably on and off for most of the time since I last played in April 2023), so your help would be appreciated 🎮

    @Blaziken1500 @Steam This has only happened to a small amount of controllers as they said, i can't tell how many controllers are affected by this, but as to what i looks like(for me) its a issue from GLS and not even Steam. My Steam Deck Oled had arrived in 3-4 days back when it released.

    @valvesoftware @Steam Would've been nice if your servers would've let me purchase it. Got errors 30 mins straight and then it was sold out

    I’ve struggle bussed with all kinds of support from companies in this last year. Incompetent support, slow support, non-existent support… Had an issue with my Steam Deck and @Steam solved it in about two hours. If the world gotta get run by big corps, I’d choose Steam.

    My night is going so well tonight… @Steam : “You need to change your password because it’s the one we set for you.” Me: resets password Steam: “that’s not the right password” Me: *goes through the “forgotten password” dialogue* Steam: “Too many login attempts. Try again later”🙃

    hey @valvesoftware @Steam plz fix that new workshop UI none like (440 comments atm on the page announcing it, 4/5 of them want the old ui back or an option for it), as it doesn't work of some older version of firefox, while beta did. I can't access to workshop anymore by web. TY

    @Steam Will you please fix the damn steam client? I just had to redownload a 100GB game because I couldn't move it due to a 'content lock file' error. That is total nonsense, total bullshit. If I had moved the files manually it would have worked fine. But I'd rather cost you money.

    @minkrov @Anaya_sharma876 @Steam The games themselves aren't the problem - most anticheat systems actually support Linux *natively* these days... The problem is that the developers behind many multiplayer games *choose* to blacklist Linux because they're anti-Linux. Also, they're a small part of the industry.

    @Moonie__OS @Steam What's the problem? Thre's plenty of games where you can shoot all sorts of people. Do you think that black people need to be shielded from fictional depicted violence in videogames?

  • se7hix
    Sethix (@se7hix) reported

    So, additional work ahead of @Steam and @Steam_Support ahead regarding all software in their store, because if they are providing malware they will have serious trouble, this has happened before and if it continues happening valve is showing that's a platform no longer safe.

    @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.

    Hey @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.

  • NicromeRetra
    Nicrome Retra (@NicromeRetra) reported

    @xritsken @NakiVT @Steam It's a big part of the gameplay and you can do way more then just whip people to get them to work. Other examples is Palworld where pals are treated as slaves and can be butchered. It's ridiculous to say the whipping that is the only problem. Remove the whipping and it's fine?

    @PedroAntunes999 @Steam @Steam_Support Sorry to hear you're having trouble accessing your account. Do you still have access to the original email address associated with the account?

    @UmbrellaFight I'd say Steam's only real issue is discovery, but this is a problem on every platform (and not just for games). I want to see new games, but it's kinda hard to find them. Imagine if @Steam and @X accounts could be linked so Twitter could show games similar to those I like.

    @Steam I was sent a gift from your website but I can’t claim it cause it says error while claiming your gift try again later @steam

    @Steam So fed up, having to log into those UNNECESSARY gaming-platforms (even f offliners)! Let's look at the consumer-perspective: you are forced into being monitored and exploited! I remember much better user-service as long as developer/publishers managed servicing all by themselves.

    @Dexerto Nice @Steam Way to give some epic customer service!
