    @VNNZ16 @Steam Same thing since 2 weeks ago 😩. I need to use vpn just to login..

  • Joyverse Srijeet Bose (@Joyverse) reported

    @VNNZ16 @Steam so it's not just you huh? Having the same issue as well.

  • Druvolkz Jhonatam (@Druvolkz) reported

    @SkyMavisHQ @AxieInfinity @Steam I'm with the error "Team validation failed", what can i do?

  • mcoorlim Strike-toberfest (@mcoorlim) reported

    @fermuss @SpacePirate_io @Steam rejecting scams like NFT solves a lot of problems

  • JooCarl24328167 ... (@JooCarl24328167) reported

    @SkyMavisHQ @Steam Are you aware of validation error problem?

  • MetaverseBob MetaverseBob (@MetaverseBob) reported

    @pierskicks @Steam I will no longer spend money on Steam until they reverse their ban on blockchain games, cryptos and nfts. This issue is too important to me and I am willing to miss out on all the games coming out just to prove my point.

  • sillytuna Sillytuna 🔴 🏀 ⚽ (@sillytuna) reported

    @SpacePirate_io @Steam If an app only looks at what nfts you have (via a web based account system), does not issue or sell directly and has no currency etc - that still an issue?

  • mcoorlim Strike-toberfest (@mcoorlim) reported

    @fermuss @SpacePirate_io @Steam I don't know where you got "security" as the issue here - oh, it's because all you have is a hammer, so everything looks like a nail.

  • Druvolkz Jhonatam (@Druvolkz) reported

    @SkyMavisHQ @Steam I'm with the error "Team validation failed", what can i do?

  • KidMomo12021 iamJoey (@KidMomo12021) reported

    @SkyMavisHQ @Steam Not a problem. More reason to put blockchain games on Gala, Mavis, etc..

  • KanameOrion Kaname//Orion【PLW】- PLW Janji Cover Soon🐾✉ (@KanameOrion) reported

    @VNNZ16 @Steam Yess me too~ I thought I was the only one that found this issue

  • BrightDreams_io BrightDreams.io (@BrightDreams_io) reported

    @NFTupdate @Steam I'm 100% sure it's due to legal and taxation issues. They are an international storefront for various countries. Considering the governments don't even know how to handle crypto yet (see Binance's regulation issues), I doubt Steam wants to get involved in that mess.

  • midniteshadow4 midniteshadow (@midniteshadow4) reported

    @Steam fix you download its so bad

  • Crypto_Shiva_ CryptoShiva (@Crypto_Shiva_) reported

    @SpacePirate_io @Steam This likely isn't supported is due to legal / regulatory issues. Being a US based company steam would likely have to answer to the SEC - especially due to the fact that there is 0 legal clarity on how to avoid being pursued by them. I don't think steam is at fault here.

  • danny_cryptofay Daniel Ribar wenVoltaire (@danny_cryptofay) reported

    So apparently @Steam is against publishing "applications built on #blockchain technology that issue or allow exchange of #cryptocurrencies or #NFTs." That's how you get left behind. Literally.

  • Ghost___x0 👻 Ghostx0 (@Ghost___x0) reported

    @sillytuna @SpacePirate_io @Steam Yeah I thought this would all be a legal case with gambling laws and currency when it comes to gaming. That's why you would think Data queries wouldn't be an issue. But there is always the chance to sell so burn keys? Im with steam on this one though due to security concerns

  • tautheory tautheory / Arkaeus (@tautheory) reported

    @VNNZ16 @Steam I get the exact same issues as well actually. I just reinstalled Steam

  • Ghost___x0 👻 Ghostx0 (@Ghost___x0) reported

    @sillytuna @SpacePirate_io @Steam Id assume but most likely still would not help.... NFT holding value is the issue so if the game only *looks up data* it should be fine as long as the NFTs are never up for sale.

  • theostalproject The Ostal Project (@theostalproject) reported

    @Maroye @Steam Indeed, blockchain gaming will be massive in the future. Imagine having actual ownership of your CSGO skins. Clearly blockchain tech is a threat to steams bottom line, that or too many legal issues ATM

  • _Schir_ .webp enthusiast (@_Schir_) reported

    @Cobreean @SpacePirate_io @Steam hate to inform you, but it sounds like you just have a gambling problem

  • IdeasInAJiffy Ideas In A Jiffy (@IdeasInAJiffy) reported

    @virtuallyzain @Steam saw the news and still can't wrap my head around the decision. thinking it might be to avoid regulatory issues until they figure out certain things, bullish for @SkyMavisHQ though and their platform.

  • EzequielPeral Eze! (@EzequielPeral) reported

    @Steam My account has vanished, I cant log in and the platform doesnt recognize my email or telephone. Your web support assistant doesnt provide any help and I cant reach you through any email adress, chat or ticket service. Is there any chance you can help me out? Thanks

  • lunaracer1 Lelouch (@lunaracer1) reported

    @2xTacker @SpacePirate_io @Steam So what's the problem with that? I made almost 100k USD from blockchain gaming, but if being a envious crybaby cuz you missed out on opportunities fits you more, then go for it.

  • Crypto_Shiva_ CryptoShiva (@Crypto_Shiva_) reported

    @0xgokhan @Steam I'm going to guess the reason this isn't supported is due to legal / regulatory issues. Being a US based company they would likely have to answer to the SEC - especially due to the fact that there is 0 legal clarity on how to avoid being pursued by them.

  • SamantazFox Samantaz (@SamantazFox) reported

    @Steam Alt: The screenshot in the quoted tweet shows that the following rule has been added to the Steam store guidelines, under the section "What you shouldn't publish on steam": "Applications built on blockchain technology that issue or allow exchange of cryptocurrencies or NFTs"

  • SenorWoberto Spooky Season Rob is looking 4 work! (@SenorWoberto) reported

    @Cobreean @SpacePirate_io @Steam sounds like a you problem

  • ross_stalker Ross Stalker 🏳️‍🌈🔶💉💉 (@ross_stalker) reported

    @Cobreean @SpacePirate_io @Steam "I can't even play anything standard now that I have blockchained" sounds like a you problem, not an us problem.

  • Foeneex1 Foeneex (@Foeneex1) reported

    @DiegoZube @Steam @jakebrowatzke It's a fact but... NFTs games universe is so early. There's so much place for developments and upgrades. It's only the beginning. Clearly, the NFT games are not so hot right now because It's still new and time will fix the things that make people tired of it. Be patient.

  • Ghost___x0 👻 Ghostx0 (@Ghost___x0) reported

    @sillytuna @SpacePirate_io @Steam that's what I mean with data queries you are still using the NFT as the data is stored *frozen* so it can be accessed but can't be changed. The main issue here is posession. If you don't allow users to truley own anything then it should be ok no?
