  • Apex125Ben ben calascione (@Apex125Ben) reported

    @Steam Its a shame really that my 12 yo sons account has been suspended because he dared ask PayPal to intervene on his behalf when Steam didn't follow their own customer service policy regarding a refund and return. Steam took the s/w back, fine, and then punished him relentlessly.

  • DJShepherd DJ Shepherd🏳️‍🌈 (@DJShepherd) reported

    @Steam I am not able to login to Steam and your process is ridiculous. It never works. So frustrated!

  • Lightzypher Lightzypher (@Lightzypher) reported

  • Bloodyspasm BloodyGoodReviews™ 🌐 Outriders (@Bloodyspasm) reported

    @MaDWaSTeD @HyperBrawl @Steam I have the same intercept issue on Xbox. Seems like 0.5% of players have it though, so not bugged for everyone?

  • Inkdeath Calice Angel 👑 froot of the poisonous tree (@Inkdeath) reported

    Really wish @Steam would stop redirecting me to the app to confirm my marketplace listings only for the app to error message out and leave me ******.

  • danyw91 dw (@danyw91) reported

    @Steam @valvesoftware why did my friend, who has the same play hours as me on the same game, get refund accepted, but mine was rejected? we gave the same reasons: badly optimized game and bad frame rate. Contact me asap to have my issue resolved or you will have really upset me.

    @Steam Your DMCA form has red * for each required field. Phone number is not required, until you click send. And then it magically is and has a red box. Please fix this discrepancy.

  • BiplovBiswas13 Biplov (@BiplovBiswas13) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support My steam account was hijacked/stolen today, my email and mobile number are no more associated & were changed. Multiple tries I couldn't find a dedicated support service/email. Website eventually asks for email/number which was obviously removed.

  • DraksterAU Damian Alexander (@DraksterAU) reported

    @Steam why can't you change your login name the steam platform? Seems like a pretty basic failure, surely your better than that.
