    iDrinkBourbon (@Disco_Drew523) reported

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck That happened to me too. You have spam that check out button eventually it loaded correctly and went to next step. At the end of the day it was broken. Also I noticed controller went live 3 min before 1PM EST. Maybe that’s what broke it

    @Moonie__OS @Steam Where is the problem? It’s a plantation simulator. Did you go to school and learn anything about history?

    @Steam **** you steam, i cant buy a game and your bullshit help doesnt ******* help at all. Dog **** service. Changed my address on file and youre treating me like i commited fraud. ******* piece of ****

  • Creo_exe
    Creo (@Creo_exe) reported

    Alright I need to talk about the customer support over at @valvesoftware and @Steam That **** goes SO HARD. Like, idk what y'all are teaching your employees, but keep that going. EVERY time I've needed ANYTHING you've always been a great help. This is why I use your service.

  • TheVisitorSNAFU
    Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen (@TheVisitorSNAFU) reported

    @GooningOnRumble @Steam Did stream also crash? Some delisted products if gifted from an inventory won’t work and can crash the system. Also is the game sold in the West or is it an Asian game like Dead Or Alive volleyball?

  • AllHeresy89790
    ColdatNight (@AllHeresy89790) reported

    This is a request/suggestion to @Steam @googledevs Please ask for your developer fees only after you have verified all the necessary documents. While steam us still alot better, google has a long running issue of verifying addresses essential eating your money for no reason.

  • hide_X666
    J. Ilmari (@hide_X666) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam Would've been nice if your servers would've let me purchase it. Got errors 30 mins straight and then it was sold out

  • juliemine_rus
    JuLieMine (@juliemine_rus) reported

    @2_left_thumbs @JohnTit11284680 @Steam i ran into problem of some games not running well because they turned out to be made on unreal engine or unity. i dont have issues with 2D unity games, but a lot of 3D ones run very poorly. i think most other people dislike certain for proper reasons too.

  • dieter_rage
    Herr Dieter (@dieter_rage) reported

    @Moonie__OS @Steam What exactly is the problem?

  • ScaredOfLockers
    Pittman (@ScaredOfLockers) reported

    @CounterStrike gonna have to explain to me why I'm banned for 24 hours because my power surged and couldn't connect back in time.. @Steam and your dumbass suggestion saying troubleshoots problems before playing is retarded..

  • Jross34
    Jross34 (@Jross34) reported

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck A broken system caused by high demand….

  • grizstudios
    Griz Studios (@grizstudios) reported

    @TopMdw @Steam Hi Kevin, your game is awesome! D you have a working link to the Contraption Maker Discord server by chance? The one I tried on the Steam page is not working... :(

  • deepvesperplus
    Vesper+ Expansion🎈 (@deepvesperplus) reported

    Lets be real here @valvesoftware has no ***** in this @Steam should be treating the Steam Deck as a loss leader. You're not beholden to investors every quarter. You can afford to eat some margin and make hardware that actually moves the market. Where's the $299 Steam Deck? Where's the $499 Steam Machine? You really think people wouldn't jump on that in a heartbeat? Gaming hardware prices are so messed up right now that Valve could practically own the budget market if it had the nerve to try. @valvesoftware fix it.

    @ThisOldGuy3 @Steam @grok I've never played. Is it good? I need a good game to fix my brain.

  • MildMillenialUS
    MildMillenial (@MildMillenialUS) reported

    @painmute @Moonie__OS @Steam There is the problem.

  • Kyvlash
    Kyvlash (@Kyvlash) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam I’m fine with a reservation system. But this is honestly ridiculous. This is a controller, not a Console. There is no Pandemic. This is normal Supply/Demand. And limiting customers to one reservation is a little silly imo. The demand for the Steam Controller exists, but it’s not going to rival its Console competitors. The outrage is mostly due to the payment system failures rather than people raging out about a non-existent scalper problem.

  • RenkiFloof
    Renki, The floof that stare at your paws. (@RenkiFloof) reported

    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.

  • HayyanCodes
    Hayyan (@HayyanCodes) reported

    @TimSweeneyEpic @EpicGames @Steam Yes, we can buy games on Steam using Visa and Mastercard. Also, providers like nsave now fully support Syria. But on Epic, we can't even claim free games. we can browse the store fine, but the actual checkout/claim process just errors out every time.

  • ClxpZonCOD

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

    @Bristian_Flores @IOInteractive @Steam Also I can’t get past the title screen after the update game not working at all

  • MileFromTheLane
    Andy 🇬🇧 (@MileFromTheLane) reported

    Hey @Steam any chance of talking to someone? Your website is a bit **** when trying to navigate and resolve an issue, so I need a real person.

  • NicromeRetra
    Nicrome Retra (@NicromeRetra) reported

    @xritsken @NakiVT @Steam It's a big part of the gameplay and you can do way more then just whip people to get them to work. Other examples is Palworld where pals are treated as slaves and can be butchered. It's ridiculous to say the whipping that is the only problem. Remove the whipping and it's fine?

  • Sapien_Voice
    Sapien Voice (@Sapien_Voice) reported

    @Steam So fed up, having to log into those UNNECESSARY gaming-platforms (even f offliners)! Let's look at the consumer-perspective: you are forced into being monitored and exploited! I remember much better user-service as long as developer/publishers managed servicing all by themselves.

    Lol what ******* gaming service do I need to play the ******* game I have everything @ForzaHorizon @Steam #forza6
