-
Camarada Pedreiro de Software ☭ 🇧🇷🌻 (@javadadepressao) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Brazilian players want to buy Valve hardware officially, at a fair price, with proper support. We are not asking for magic. Just a legitimate way to buy the product without gambling with bureaucracy and warranty issues.
-
CranberryClock (@cranberryclock) reported@DalaranCrater @Steam It was a nightmare, but it got solved. If I used desktop browser it would ask for my steam guard to login, totally fine, then I would scan and it would be like: Now use the app to Confirm…. No notifications, nothing in confirmation. So then I made my way after 20 attempts to a mobile version which allowed me to get to the next screen which required my mobile app, which when it went to the page would just load the page in the app the ask me while in the app to swap screens to verify the number, resulting in a loop restarting the process.

-
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.
-
Red Sox Royal Rooter (@RoyalRooterSox) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Unable to buy due to errors for 20+ minutes, then it sold out. Crazy.
-
Agent Spirit (@CodenameSpiritR) reported@Steam Can ya'll fix your refund system please so I can refund an absolute piece of garbage game
-
Michael (@MikeTriceratops) reported@HyperLovingBun @valvesoftware @Steam The controller isn't effected by RAM price increases, so that shouldn't be an issue...
-
Fredinator (@Fredinator85) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam This is bullshit and you know it. It is your broken launcher failing. Get rid of uplay. Nobody uses it anyway unless they are forced to
-
Powercheif (@Powercheif) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck I was able to get through the error message and purchase it.
-
Ethan Kirby (@Huckleberry3716) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Good. Hopefully the reservation queue doesn’t crash Steam again tomorrow
-
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
-
Skylar167 (@Skylar167Twitch) reported@DaynglsGuides @valvesoftware @Steam I got this error and couldn't get it, and now its out of stock
-
virhillyo (@virhillyo) reported@Steam @Steam_Support @OnDeck hey valve, I was wondering if someone can help me with an issue I have with my Steam Deck? My deck won’t go into sleep mode if I press the power button and I have to do it through the steam button which is a bit tedious. Would appreciate any help :)
-
0G_M3T47R0N (@Met47ron) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck I was met with that error and just spam clicked the link until I got a different page to finally populate!
-
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
-
LTLuh (@HiddenTenno) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Fix your launcher, it sucks, or better, let us open the games directly from steam without having to see that mess you call launcher
-
Lucoa's Husbano (@Lucoa_Star65) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Here's an easy solution: Delete your ****** DRM Launcher from existence. That will solve the problem.
-
Clemson Cuz (@ClemsonCuz) reported**** @Steam and their broken website.
-
CelticTiger (@IRISHANARCHY199) reported@KlassischeMann @valvesoftware @Steam I think the main reason for the frustration is the storefront collapsing under the pressure within the first second of the item going up for purchase. I wouldn’t have gotten one myself if I hadn’t brute-forced the continue button on the purchase screen that kept giving errors.
-
nomellamesfriki (@nomeIlamesfriki) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam You don't own any game bought digitally in Sony or Steam. You only own the license to play it thrugh Sony/Steam. They can close the service when they want. It is all in the TOS.
-
$!|b!r0b! (@silbirobi) reported@RealMarcFoxx Okay👍 But I have to criticize @Steam @Steam_Support I have to perform a login to play offline. That's just wrong and have to change.
-
Avalice Productions (@DaveTheRetroGuy) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam This wouldn't be a problem if your launcher actually worked 🙄
-
kayseed (@kayseeed) reported@Feeh_LacerdaS @studiozaum @Steam the specific sentiment was regarding the individuals on the team who were the sole reason the issues came to happen in the first place. don't be obtuse
-
Vladyslav Rezohlazov (@heavilof) reported@valvesoftware @Steam fix vac, it's false banning people 24/7 but not banning people with very famous pellix

ꞡɍ੩ɏཏħⱥđθⱳ (@gr3yb1rd) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam just don't buy Ubislop games and the problem is solved
-
Gengoralt (@GengoraltP) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam The problem is YOUR ******* LAUNCHER YOU USELESS PIECE OF ****!
-
Hellothere (@Injuryyuy) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Yeah I'm not happy with Valve right now. I was there right on time. Every time I tried to push payment through the page gave a weird error. Next thing you know I check and it's sold out. They need to figure some sort of system out to fight off the bots to make it more fair.
