Evilyn G Havisham (@EvilynHavisham) reported@valvesoftware @Steam I CAN'T WAIT FOR MY CONTROLLER TO ARRIVE BROKEN IN THE MAIL!
-
Sigma The Fox (@SigmaTheFox) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam clearing steam's download cache does not fix "games not starting" issues at all, ubisoft. it only deletes what is currently being downloaded... Why would a game that relies on your useless launcher not start because of a download happening on steam, when it's ready to play?
-
ComicalRock (@comicalrock) reported@The_FrostySinZ @UbisoftSupport @Steam As they say, piracy is a service issue, in this new age of lack of real ownership, bad launchers, bad products, DRM ruining performance and etc., it is no wonder piracy is on the rise again. I don't do it myself, but I get it, they need to earn our money and trust again.

⚡ Luis Montes - @monteslu@fosstodon.org (@monteslu) reported"There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance." yo, @Steam_Support @Steam Let me get a controller.

devilsinme (@22Coolboyo) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Have u try to disconnect your PC from internet for a day, then try run Steam and play games there.
-
MoonCast3r (@M00ncast3r) reported@Steam I have been trying to login to my account t through the app but it keeps saying my password or user is wrong when it's not I can change the password or the phone number due to the stupid authentication stuff and I can't receive the codes I've tried everything I wanna login
-
Mario Garcia (@drakaritto) reported@Steam Dear Steam Support, I have been trying to resolve an issue with my account for over a month now. Despite contacting your online support multiple times, I keep receiving a message that my account is tied to a sanctioned country.
-
GoodStuffPuff (@PowPowPony) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Just make it so your games can be played directly through steam and these problems would cease to exist for people, your launcher IS the problem
-
Frank🇺🇸 (@C50_FC) reported@fr33thytweaks @Steam If the problem is the hardware, a firmware update isn’t gonna change anything lol
-
Moonfishy (@The__Moonfish) reported@Steam fix your damn CAPTCHA i just want my account back.
-
Joenziii ☦︎ (@Joenziii) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Listen I had the same issue but if your gonna complain don’t use ai to ******* do it
-
Figgle **** (@FiggleJizz) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Steam isn't the problem lmao.
-
Ylliaster (@Ylliaster) reported@BeatSaber Worst case scenario: @Steam , @Steam_Support if whoever made Beat Saber have broken their game so it's unplayable on older hardware, how do I refund the gifter of the game?
-
Stephen McHugh (@longshotmagoo) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck I knew the controller would sell out fairly quick like but 30 mins is insane haha. Valves biggest problem is filling demand, that's a great problem lol
-
John GameFix (@John_GAMEFIX) reported@Q4Q4U @UbisoftSupport @Steam Still having the same issue?
-
Skylar167 (@Skylar167Twitch) reported@DaynglsGuides @valvesoftware @Steam I got this error and couldn't get it, and now its out of stock
-
Cap'n Slipp (@CapnSlipp) reportedDear @Steam, the useful Verification Code From E-mail feature in iOS/iPadOS doesn't work with e-mails from Steam. I believe this is because iOS only looks at the notification, not the whole e-mail. Please move the code further up (text-wise) in your e-mails to fix this. #UXBug
-
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
-
Torelethain (@torelethain) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Seriously guys, why did you not roll this out like the Deck to prevent scalpers? You already had this problem solved. Big disappointment, guess I'll have to wait now.
-
PoLy. (@TheRealDarkSole) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam This is a problem Ubisoft created. Not Steams fault.
-
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!
-
Alec (@SavageRedCrow) reported@valvesoftware @Steam I'm glad to hear you guys put some restrictions on the reservation. i hope the steam frame and machine have the same. to be clear i did get a controller during that first round, i could have used 2 but out of fairness i only ordered 1 to let others have a chance. while i literally waited "a min" before trying again i looked at X and saw everyone was having a problem and that spamming worked. i mean it wasn't just like clicking when the button reappeared, i spammed the hell outta that screen for like 10 min.
-
Vedant Kalore (@VedantKalore) reported@choehau_ara @Steam @Steam_Support So then they should fix it.... As their consoles run Linux afterall
-
яυѕтуρωη (@Rusty_PWN) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam It's your game, not their, and it's your launcher causing the problem. Nobody likes you and the reason is this kind of bullshit on top of your dogshit code
-
Dragon 369 (@Nuqle0us) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Fix Your Anticheat on cs2 every game is 1 or 3 cheaters AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
-
ViDEOGOMEZ (@videogomez) reported@Null1130250 @valvesoftware @Steam They've had YEARS to fix their international supply problems, I had to buy my Steam Deck from a third party just because I live a few kilometers below Texas.
