-
silver Black (@SILVERDEIMONSBL) reported@Steam I have a question: when are you going to launch your own cloud gaming service? I would really love to be able to play the games I buy on my mobile phone, since I don't have a computer. I really miss having a cloud gaming option that lets me play on my phone without needing a PC.

Pasai_awesome (@Pasai_awesome) reported@Steam Hey mu account has been stolen whole I was at work. They changed the username and the password,and email. I have all the emails and notifications steam has ever sent me. The automatic service keeps giving me the run around. Is there a better way to get in touch please?
-
Marc (@marcs125) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Sorry, but respectfully you are the problem. You knew the policy Steam had and released a low value product (low playtime/cost) so you should have expected this. The platform shouldn't cater to you when you create the situation. Make a better product or just accept it.

Abandoned Account 🏴 🇬🇧 (@Abandac123) reported@Dexerto While @Steam's refunding system is the gold standard for consumers, it's not without its issues. There should be additional rules on the length of gameplay. Like, if u reach 1/4 of the game or the 2 hour window. That's fair. @Steam_Support

-
Witchmaster (@Witchmaster) reported@SurvivalGN @ConanExiles For me, the move to UE5 sounded like a bad move. While I do use @Steam to play this, I'm also on Linux which has had a history of issues running Unreal 5 content. I decided to try it out and it just would not run. I restored to the UE4 version frustrated.
-
Maxie 🎮 Bloodstained | Visions of Mana | ONINAKI (@maxieaftermdnyt) reported@ZirraTGK That’s me in a nutshell. If not physically, I’ll be getting those games on @Steam. At least Steam has good customer service even though they also sell digital licenses (@GOGcom doesn’t really sell their games in my country sadly)
-
AJ 🐦 aka SuperSaiyan4 (@OmegaSaiyanX) reportedI have gone many years (more than 3yrs) not going on my @Steam account and you know what? I never lost any game or service that I had paid for. They are still there! Eat that @Sony @PlayStation

Dilshad Subramanian (@imdilshad03) reported@Steam my steam ID had suddenly lost all my friends list. It shows 0. Is there any way to fix it ? ID: dilshad003
-
Dont Askem Eh (@DontAskemeh) reportedI use to grind trophies back in the day, I will agree with the sound as it hits different & they're at least set in stone. Steam overall is better EXCEPT when they get ruined by devs adding random achievements years later. Categories for DLC would be an easy fix, js @Steam.

Benni (@ghostedstudio) reported@adredev @Steam "don't trust this man with an self service upload page.... please"

PaLM AI - $PALM (@palmaierc) reportedMajor Announcement - Fall 2026 This fall, our local AI harness that rivals everything else currently on the market, root, is going to be shipped as a software product over to @Steam. 1) Publishing the application on Steam will remove the need for a separate signature on the executable. 2) Steam has become the go-to for gaming & creativity related software tools, which goes hand-in-hand with root. 3) Wide accessibility. You acquire it once, and it is yours forever. The Steam Version will not support any cryptocurrency features and all sales revenue will be registered to the Web2 side of our business. It will also be restricted and controlled according to the Terms of Service of Steam and other agreements that the company may become liable to, including a refund policy. We will keep the community updated on the status of the publication. Expect it to happen within a few months. Thank you for your support.

🏴Obscure outpost podcast🐦 (@Obscure_Outpost) reported@ItzPuddleJumper @Steam Steam deck uses steam os which uses arch Linux as a base,Arch is a cutting edge rolling operating system so updates can break it usually they put the fix for it on archs website.

Cezary Kruszewski (@CezaryKruszews1) reported@KagutsuchiHeika @Pirat_Nation Actually issue is with @Steam as it was clearly stated by them that accounts cannot be passed on.
-
Josh (@_Josh_Knight) reported@XBOX @Steam @PlayStation Imagine white men failing soceity, so they choose to sit behind a headset raging at people, even people preferably in thier own ethnicity. White men, fix ******** up. You look like ********* in this generation which is cooked. Be a bit more decent to your own race of people.

Cogglesz (@ColinEspMusic) reported@Tardgrde @ImCadeYT @Steam Be careful buddy. Seriously. I noticed with the controllers my reservation was due November 26' So guess what? I've already got it in my hands, a week ago i checked the controller page again to see if my reservation was still active and it literally told me i had 2 days left to buy the thing or i'll lose my (Nov 26') reservation. You'd think, They'd email people who got pushed ahead yeah? No..Not one pop up, not one email telling me the controller was available for purchase. If it wasn't for me wanting to check my status on the controllers store page i'd have lost my reservation and been screwed into 2027. I'm absolutely positive this is happening with the hardware too. I put in a purchase request the same day they announced the steam controllers on the store page (and influencers already had reviews up day 1) So, Not only did i have to spend money prior to when i wanted to? I'm sure there are people who live paycheque to paycheque that can't just spend $100 on a whim. They didn't even notify me with an email or in-steam UI pop ups which they should do for things like this. I really advise everyone checks their hardware orders daily on steam or at least emails about reservations, it's the only way to prevent reservations slipping through our hands because we take a break or are too busy IRL. I've been with valve since 2007 and even bought the V1 controller & Steam Link back in 2015. The quality of service has severely been hampered by Valve selling these things on their own storefront which didn't give me a heads up at all. Be careful!!!!

Whiteshadow (@whiteshadow_001) reported@ArtemR @Steam People have stated issues with the overall thermals being very poor

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (@StoicStoic13) reported@Steam I haven’t been able to sign in to steam and it’s pretty ridiculous there’s no way to talk to support
-
Foot Lettuce (@FootLettusplay) reported@Steam put a disc drive in the next steam machine??? I guarantee the games that make the money would have no issues releasing physical.
-
Rogue Wolf (@Spi3000) reported@ImCadeYT @Steam Despite positivities from Steam Customer Service, Valve (from my experience) takes time for E-Mail or Support Ticket claims, usually a day's time. If you sent the E-Mail today, give it time. Until then grab every document you can, especially purchase information.

ARKS Angel (@arks_angel) reported@Steam is everything okay? First I was having issues downloading from the Chicago CDN, and now getting a bad gateway error when viewing my wishlist?
