  • cyborgk9 ᴄʏʙᴏʀɢ K9 🌹🇺🇦 (@cyborgk9) reported

    Seems to stem from filing for a individual business # late last year, I /think/ to resolve some issue with @Steam and payments for my game. But now the CRA thinks I owe taxes for sales of the game, at a value much higher than I think possible, given the # of sales. :P

  • KalAldenX KalAlden.X 🐼 (@KalAldenX) reported

    @Steam is God-teir, why #Microsoft doesn't do more to make their platform better for gamers. Making ppl DL #Ubisoft crapware, signup, connect acc (only to get error msg everytime & never play Assassin's Creed) – is most annoying ******* exp. NOT DISABILITY FRIENDLY.

  • TylerCG woke moralist (@TylerCG) reported

    why is it like pulling teeth to get @Steam to actually let me download the game I bought? it's weird because they never experience any issues with charging me, but for some odd reason they can't serve the file??!?!

  • bottygerjoe Harry Balzania **** (@bottygerjoe) reported

    Anyone else having issues with the @Steam store? I’m having issues on @OnDeck my iPhone and my laptop. @Steam_Support are you aware of any issues??

  • greenhalghs82 Simon Greenhalgh (@greenhalghs82) reported

  • akaMickG Mick G (@akaMickG) reported

    @Steam Why would you not refund a mistaken purchase especially when asked to steam wallet, the steam platform created a second account on a game I already owned. I will not be spending more money on the platform. It’s not about the money it’s about the lack of customer service over $$

  • cowcite Cowcite (@cowcite) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support This morning received a message from steam support but when I try and open it the screen just goes blank or tells me that there was an issue. Is there anything I can do to read this support message?
