    i thought today would be the best day ever and i would be able to spend my new year's playing my deck but this has been the worst day ever with @parcelforce's ****** *** service and @Steam possibly not writing my address down properly for delivery. I am ******* crying.

  • FroggleTTV Froggle (@FroggleTTV) reported

    Hi @Steam I am in UK, and I cannot login my account and connect to the server and cannot even purchase. Please send help

  • xBDazz Brandon | BDazz  (@xBDazz) reported

    @JustNotionss @Steam I’m finally back on steam. The issue was that all the emails were going straight to the trash folder rather than going to spam, inbox or all mail. Very odd.

  • The_Truth_Sir Truth (@The_Truth_Sir) reported

    @gabriel_linf @segajennesiss It’s so ******* bad. I used to love using Steam on my phone, but it’s unusable now. @Steam fix your app for the sake of everyone please.

  • FaustTheBat Faust (@FaustTheBat) reported

    i have no idea why people do things like that, i have even less idea of how it even happened to begin with, as i have all the account security things that are possible and never had any problem in that front. i just hope @Steam do something about it...

  • drommajin Drommajin (@drommajin) reported

    @Steam can't use the Steam Deck and I can't even login in. What's going on?

  • howtofeelnothin how to feel nothing (@howtofeelnothin) reported

    @Steam Fix servers, i could not check steam inventory all day

  • Dragonzblaze dragonz4k aka dragonzblaze (@Dragonzblaze) reported

    @PlayTemtem @Steam Please fix coop ps5 catching temrem bug

  • RealJoeyConfrey Joey Confrey 🥸 (@RealJoeyConfrey) reported

    (2/2) I believe it only started when I downloaded gta 4 because it only began around the time I installed it. And now with every game after i installed after I installed gta 4 it happens. If anyone know how to fix the issue let me know. @Steam

  • Breaking_Austin Breaking Austin (@Breaking_Austin) reported

    @Steam I have been having constant issues with a game, and cannot get anything other than an automated reply to my attempts at help from a bot that clearly doesn't read the message. How do I contact a real person to help me???

  • Cavey_Clark Cavey Clark (@Cavey_Clark) reported

    What ******** @Steam ? Fix your ****!

  • LVARRM M (@LVARRM) reported

    @Friday13thGame @Steam Hi, I have a problem with Friday the 13th games. The problem is Jason Hell is gone and Lovely 150 is gone. I want compensation

  • Cenntaurienius Cenntaurienius (@Cenntaurienius) reported

    @Steam No login possible via the desktop application. So no possibility to play or install games. Please fix! It's been like this for hours.

  • YemesRomina Romina Yemes (@YemesRomina) reported

    @Steam do a better job and fix your platform security issues! Still waiting for a response from your “support” team

  • Shu2600 Shu (@Shu2600) reported

    @PlayStationUK Yet again the shocking level of poor customer service demonstrated by yourselves never ceases to amaze me, you'd rather argue with customers than seek solutions, you could learn a lot from @xbox & @Steam when dealing with issues on a bespoke basis 😔 #PS5 #Xbox

  • Aymerceeer Bulcain (@Aymerceeer) reported

    @steam there is a scam problem with the software "animaze" on your platform, indeed, my friend has this software and lost ~18€ for no reason

  • dabouldev ItsDevon (@dabouldev) reported

    Is @Steam having issues?

  • justahim Unavailable (@justahim) reported

    @BeenoxCODPC Hey. Any chance of getting some assistance in trying to get #MW2 to launch on @Steam. Reinstalled, cleared cache, repaired library folder. Validated files, nothing works. Can someone at least acknowledge there’s a problem for me and lots of others.

  • hunnussy Hennessy Williams (@hunnussy) reported

    I'm really disappointed by @Steam / @valvesoftware's customer service over my stolen Steam Deck. I never got a notification for when it would arrive and it was delivered on top of the mailboxes so of course it got stolen. the rep said we don't have control over the delivery but

  • owndancefloor do you own the dancefloor? (@owndancefloor) reported

    @Steam hi I’d like to make a complaint about lack of customer service how do I make a complaint?

  • jmullens916 Justin Mullens (@jmullens916) reported

    @Steam your service is a piece of ****, constant crashes. I have photos of the continuous dog **** service you provide. Refund me my money. Id prefer many services over steam

  • Ashonibaretimi4 Ashonibare timileyin (@Ashonibaretimi4) reported

    @AversaniLucas @Steam i really fed up when i had similar issues, support system did not even consider my complains i wrote them so many time but no response. i was recommended to #dackfixx on instagram he got mine perfectly fixed fast with everything safe

  • xBDazz Brandon | BDazz  (@xBDazz) reported

    @JustNotionss @Steam I can’t access their support because I can’t login.

  • RealJoeyConfrey Joey Confrey 🥸 (@RealJoeyConfrey) reported

    I’ve contacted steam about this loads of times and they never got back to me: if anyone knows how to fix the issue where a stream game keeps crashing and won’t stay open let me know I was told it was a corrupted file but I don’t know where to find it (1/2) @Steam

  • Cavey_Clark Cavey Clark (@Cavey_Clark) reported

    @Steam I've never ever had so many God damn issues of trying to sign in! WTF?

  • InArppa InAddrArppa (@InArppa) reported

    @MattShrader4 @Steam I purchase games on my steam deck fine, what issue are you having

  • DJignyte Ignyte (@DJignyte) reported

    Like, honestly. Why does @EA even bother trying to employ their own online service? They've never been able to do it right. And experiences like these continue to cement the notion that unless you can be just as reliable as @Steam , you shouldnt bother running your own service.

  • xBDazz Brandon | BDazz  (@xBDazz) reported

    How do I get @Steam to email me back so I can login to my steam account
