Wyrd (@I_am_Wyrd) reported@Steam I'm not sure what the issue is, but in South Africa @Steam browser barely loads. I have done all the trouble shooting, nothing fixes it. Looking to buy a game? Can't. Nothing loads. This problem has been persistent for over a year. Please fix!
-
AnimeKing18 (@King18Anime) reported@Pirat_Nation I love the @Steam support team. Out of all of them Steam support was always there to help and always found a solution to a problem no matter if it's hardware or software. The last time I had to contact Steam support was with a out of warranty Index Controller. They were out of stock at the time and I wanted to see how much they would charge to fix it. After some troubleshooting steps they offered to replace the controller for free (and this was around 2 to 3 months out of warranty). For me I'll buy from Valve before I buy from anyone else, I'm looking forward to the Steam Controller and Steam Frame. @valvesoftware

Adam Mckeithan (@Adammck) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Gave up on trying to buy one. Damn store was broken with nothing but errors. Guess I’ll get one in a year or so.
-
Jeff Finkelstein (@jfinkelstein) reported@valvesoftware @Steam There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact Support for Assistance.
-
Austin Maithya (@austin_is_fly) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam_Support @Steam My accounts have been compromised and I have tried recovery and it is not working kindly assist
-
Sethix (@se7hix) reportedSo, 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.

𝑺𝒂𝒍 (@yukariss_da) reported@Steam I try to login to my account but i cant. I dont know why When i try to send code to my email, i received nothing. Just ferivy button...i dont understand because its a loop hole I never add steam guard. But you ask for it. Im confuse. I dont know how to recover this.
-
يَعْقُوب (@Yaqub_the_white) reported@GeraltofGoonia @valvesoftware @Steam Welp, now I have to go help fix this ****...
-
JuLieMine (@juliemine_rus) reported@2_left_thumbs @JohnTit11284680 @Steam i ran into problem of some games not running well because they turned out to be made on unreal engine or unity. i dont have issues with 2D unity games, but a lot of 3D ones run very poorly. i think most other people dislike certain for proper reasons too.
-
Red Sox Royal Rooter (@RoyalRooterSox) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Unable to buy due to errors for 20+ minutes, then it sold out. Crazy.
-
CaptainSp33dy (@Tristan_fergus) reported@KlassischeMann @valvesoftware @Steam you need to check, before making outrageous comments. the issue in hand is scalpers buying them. So, if users are getting upset mentioning about scalpers, then the "morons" remarks is baseless.
-
Plundy (@Plundypops) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam get rid of your dogshit third party launcher and denuvo and wouldn't have these problems
-
PoLiiQa (@PoLiiQas) reported@rvmpvq3 @CantAiim @Steam the problem is, you shouldn't NEED to use these workarounds considering that the games are still 20 dollars on sale
-
Mr. Killeverything (@MrKillevrything) reported@GooningOnRumble @Steam Wtf? I don't believe that I have ever had this issue.
-
Vlad Oreshkov (@minkrov) reported@greg_opera @Anaya_sharma876 @Steam Yeah, but some very popular multiplayer games I've heard are not compatible with Linux, so I was suggesting that AI could solve that problem yk?
-
james (@radojames99) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Sucks you were able to let me put in money no problem, but let the scalpers buy everything.
-
Josh the BLACKEST Animator 🇨🇦 🎺🎺 (@JoshAnimator) reported@NakiVT @Steam What's the problem? Sounds like it could be fun.
-
Mydia (@MydiaStardream) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Scalpers took all the stock. Please fix.
-
BlueXcoat (@BlueXcoat) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Just keep selling controllers at the same price till scalpers give up buying, infinite money glitch and then it could be available to all of the customers right now. Would advise for everyone to not even buy the reselling options from ebay. @valvesoftware
-
iDrinkBourbon (@Disco_Drew523) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck That happened to me too. You have spam that check out button eventually it loaded correctly and went to next step. At the end of the day it was broken. Also I noticed controller went live 3 min before 1PM EST. Maybe that’s what broke it
-
RarelyBarelyGaming (@Barelygaming0) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck That is a broken system. Valve knows the base, how you not ganna make enough.... Wut.
-
RePete (@RePeteW) reported@Dexerto Nice @Steam Way to give some epic customer service!
-
Avalice Productions (@DaveTheRetroGuy) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam This wouldn't be a problem if your launcher actually worked 🙄
-
AzureCrux (@AzureCrux) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Payment processors have rate limits, chief. Too many people wanted controllers at once. Every platform exclusive has this problem, it's frustrating as heck.
