    @Steam I can't trust a company that steals money from children's Wallet accounts and then has "customer service" representatives literally get hostile at their parents or guardians when they demand their stolen money back. I can get these games somewhere else.

    @Steam You literally let employees (or hackers, or both) steal children's Wallet funds and then have your "customer service representatives" get hostile at their parents and guardians when they demand their stolen money back. Anything to make a buck and keep paying yourselves, right?

    Dani Kandi (@eurytosbow) reported

    @Steam I'd rather give my money to Epic Games because they don't steal from kids' Wallets and have their "customer service" reps get hostile with parents and guardians who demand that stolen money back. You do. Just a thought. Stop stealing from children.

    @77Redsoft @Steam The customer support team isn't reaching out to peoples demand and users are getting scammed while looking for other means of recovering their accounts.... message @cyber_recv1 directly on Instagram to fix your account. Avoid Scam!!!

    Alright, just found out that @NintendoAmerica lets you purchase DLC packs on the Switch for games you don't even own. On the flip side: @Steam will give you an error message if you try to buy DLC for a game you do not own.

    @LavarizStreams @Steam @valvesoftware In IT, SMS 2FA tends to be considered one of the last resorts due to issues like SIM hijacking and unreliable delivery. Here, you're seeing why.

    @Steam it's really pissing me off that y'all don't have a real support system. I'm trying to reset my password and get meet with "an error occurred, try again in a few minutes". No matter if it's actual steam, app, different browsers. How the hell am I supposed to fix this?

    That Arcade Pinball Gamer Guy (@HACKhalo2) reported

    @LewdieLucipurr @valvesoftware @Steam If you bought the kit through Valve, make sure you're giving them the serial number off the side of that box. I had issues with a headset RMA until I did that

    Hey @CDPROJEKTRED / @Steam - stop pointing fingers at each other, and fix the cross save function on #Witcher3 for the Switch. Currently it goes to a blank Steam page, and I'm unable to move my switch files to the steam deck. You've known about this issue for MONTHS now!

    @Amplitude I'm having trouble redeeming my copy of #DungeonoftheEndless. I've created my Amplitude account and linked it to @Steam but when I try to redeem my copy it just sends me back to my profile page. Please assist.

    @Spaggie @Steam I had an issue where it was taking hours to do updates. It was partly down to my son and daughter were online as well, plus I was watching a stream. The main reason though was because I was using a cable through a powerline adaptor.
