    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.

    @NimBold @Steam, this issue needs to be solved fast. The U.S. treasury department has lifted restrictions set on online platforms since January. Saying "you're sanctioned no can do " is extremely unacceptable. We've just come out of a #DigitalBlackOut. That's not a nice welcome.

    @MrKillevrything @GooningOnRumble @Steam Now THAT is saying something. If MKE has many gifted games and has never run into the issue…I don’t know. But I can’t wait for all the stupid suggestions like “Did you check the router?”

    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 🎮

    @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?

    @ServiusTheBear @Steam ... that wasn't my point at all. I think it's hilarious and have 0 issues with it. There's absolutely no reason to remove such a silly nothing.

  • RenkiFloof

    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.

    @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?

    @GooningOnRumble @Steam Wtf? I don't believe that I have ever had this issue.

  • Nc61706525Nc
    Lucas NC (@Nc61706525Nc) reported

    @Steam, why does this error occur? Error There was a problem trying to follow this Steam Curator. Possible reasons: You cannot follow a curator that you are already ignoring. You can only follow up to 100 curators at the same time. Limited accounts cannot follow a curator. OK

    @Steam I changed the password for the 3rd time but it's still not working.

    @4KTSlimeOwner @Steam Customer service is non-existence here they just lie so you can come here to complain and get no response, their support team is completely BS. Lay your complaint to OLHASLEUTH1 here on X for quick resolve

    When are you planning to address the cheating issue in this game? We come in hoping for some peace and enjoyment, but we end up leaving with red marks of frustration. Please review the account I've submitted a ticket for! @Steam @Steam_Support @CounterStrike

  • BrianKent460131

    Who sends such blasphemous drivel on such a stout and honorable platform as X platinum? Wait, is this X platinum? Doxxing the nefarious Indian engineers at every attempt to scam me of a $40 @Steam gift card. Timeless wavelength. But can he sustain it through the market rush for @arcimoto stock this morning. Magic Eight-Ball: Sources say it's a possibility. Coffeepot check? coffee pot is locked in. Is @tomhanks tired, tied, awake, asleep? Does Jennifer Aniston not know that our "relationship" is strictly public. I have had women injure me; I'm sure Rikki will write to me in less than 90 minutes. I will slap some restaurant-quality cologne and take forkfuls of my slovenly self down to her office By 3pm we'll probably have cancer half cured. And then you'll all be like, "no, really, how in ******** did he just vanish in the night DESPITE ALL THOSE NIFTY SATELLITES that you *think* can track me. One day you will understand why every time you try to think of the next step you fail. One person makes their first jump. You don't usually live. Time goes so very fast. And? Well, then Twitter is STILL BROKEN. Or.... This: Becomes yet another curious description of the way people approach me...or someone is afraid of me. And to that I say sad again, but I still will not quit.

    Yo @Steam Why you keep signing me out while I'm trying to play Call of Duty fix this sheet please

    @Sir_Dammed @Steam fix this bullshit if you want to sell more

    Ignyte (@DJignyte) reported

    @Steam @discord @Windows The CLOSEST thing I got to it working the way I want, is by launching steam or discord via powershell. Which half works (does for Discord). But I launch steam by right-clicking on the icon and selecting 'Friends' so the friends list appears. Which the powershell thing doesnt fix.

    Novu (@The_Novu) reported

    @Steam Gaben is the best and we love Steam but it'd be VERY unfortunate for this to be a problem when I've spent well over a thousand dollars on Steam over the past 15 years.

  • DreamRemnants
    Pathos (@DreamRemnants) reported

    @EA @Steam probably should have extended refund period if this is a known issue.

  • DrewFlashy1
    Fallout Flashy (@DrewFlashy1) reported

    I was skeptical about @Steam's controller costing an outrageous $100, $30 more than a Nintendo Pro controller. However, I now know you can open it to maybe fix it yourself and if you drop it, it Wilhelm screams. Such humanity is worth it. Our household will have 2.

  • EveilCharm
    EVEILCHARM (@EveilCharm) reported

    @ChibiReviews People should be losing their **** over the fact that payment processors wouldn't dare touch a game this big that will drag their asses to court if they tried to deny service. Wish @Steam would step up for the games on it's platform too.

    Ivan Ironfist (@IvanIronfist) reported

    @Moonie__OS @Steam - Big hit reg issue causing you to hit slaves by accident - Lots of micro at the start - No mechanics explanation but not too hard to figure out - Needs more lore and house staff - Needs slaves of different races with different buffs - Cost $1 which is not bad but lacks content

    @foxgirlfrot @squishygaypaws @Steam Send steam support that screenshot its probably just a glitch.
