Paco Ace (@DamJPaco) reported@Steam Hi, I need help to modify my email address. Former email address is unavailable but I get a "error 2" everytime I put the code I received to change my email... Please help !
-
🏴Obscure outpost podcast🐦 (@Obscure_Outpost) reported@ItzPuddleJumper @Steam Worth a try if can use it there might might be recovery menu or something, I don't own a steamdeck but I'm good at trouble shooting things.
-
Beast of Bodmin (@WrastleFreak) reportedMy @UpholdInc card seems to not be working at more and more places since it's been renewed. Didn't work at @Steam and now not working with @DisneyPlus despite putting all the new details in. 🙄
-
BOOTZ999 (@BOOTZ999) reported@Lenovo if you don't hurry on the patch for your bios update, 100% of @Steam user can take you to small claims court if they allow data tracking for their Lenovo legion go's. And I never agreed to your terms of service on steam OS 3.8(non existent) That's $2230CAD MSRP... Idiots
-
Bob The Builder (@BobTheBuilderjs) reported@IntCyberDigest Cyberleek shot dead by steam support as rockstar support is dogshit Thank you for your service once again @Steam
-
pikachufrankie (@pikachufrankie) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Portal 1 is roughly a little over an hour long, yet has never had this issue. Limbo is only a few hours long, and also never had this issue. You can make short games that people won’t want to refund. If people are mass refunding your game, it’s because it isn’t worth the price.
-
TheWarTank (@TheWarTank_YT) reported@nogal909 @Zoroarts @Steam I don't have problems with refunds, either. I'm against abusing the refund system, however. But genuinely enjoying the game and refunding is immoral. You are screwing someone else's time and effort, which I find to be an awful attitude and a bad use of the refund system.
-
Virileth (@VirilethDerg) reported@Ain_Macdougal @Zoroarts @Steam You just can't have a refund policy unless it's broken, defective, or not as advertised. Sure people will ***** about no refunds, but that's only because they want to steal. We don't have the kind of high trust society needed to allow for refunds.

Sad Phở 🥲🍜 (@Sad_Pho) reported@lemorion1224 when you gonna fix lobbys? i cant play with my @Steam friends
-
Cogglesz (@ColinEspMusic) reported@Tardgrde @ImCadeYT @Steam Be careful buddy. Seriously. I noticed with the controllers my reservation was due November 26' So guess what? I've already got it in my hands, a week ago i checked the controller page again to see if my reservation was still active and it literally told me i had 2 days left to buy the thing or i'll lose my (Nov 26') reservation. You'd think, They'd email people who got pushed ahead yeah? No..Not one pop up, not one email telling me the controller was available for purchase. If it wasn't for me wanting to check my status on the controllers store page i'd have lost my reservation and been screwed into 2027. I'm absolutely positive this is happening with the hardware too. I put in a purchase request the same day they announced the steam controllers on the store page (and influencers already had reviews up day 1) So, Not only did i have to spend money prior to when i wanted to? I'm sure there are people who live paycheque to paycheque that can't just spend $100 on a whim. They didn't even notify me with an email or in-steam UI pop ups which they should do for things like this. I really advise everyone checks their hardware orders daily on steam or at least emails about reservations, it's the only way to prevent reservations slipping through our hands because we take a break or are too busy IRL. I've been with valve since 2007 and even bought the V1 controller & Steam Link back in 2015. The quality of service has severely been hampered by Valve selling these things on their own storefront which didn't give me a heads up at all. Be careful!!!!

Lord Tech (@mts_22natoo) reported@TheDailyGamer86 @PlayStation @Steam Hi there 👋🏾 What's seems to be the problem with your PlayStation account?
-
Formal Gangster (@FormalgangsterK) reported@PlayApex I can’t buy apex coins for some reason. Steam won’t authorize. You might see if there’s a fix you guys could make with @Steam @Steam_Support I just want to support a game and a couple of companies I love 🫶🏻💙
-
Pasai_awesome (@Pasai_awesome) reported@Steam Hey mu account has been stolen whole I was at work. They changed the username and the password,and email. I have all the emails and notifications steam has ever sent me. The automatic service keeps giving me the run around. Is there a better way to get in touch please?

Turbopumpkin (@Turbopumpkin1) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Good games don't have this issue

♡🇳🇴🐞🛠️Toy🪀♡|She♀️|🌸🏳️⚧️|rants bout etc~| (@AshleyToy_Real) reportedNeed to do smt @RockstarGames have issue with L.A Noir en on @Steam
-
Maxie 🎮 Bloodstained | Visions of Mana | ONINAKI (@maxieaftermdnyt) reported@ZirraTGK That’s me in a nutshell. If not physically, I’ll be getting those games on @Steam. At least Steam has good customer service even though they also sell digital licenses (@GOGcom doesn’t really sell their games in my country sadly)
-
Azzys Design Works (@AzzyDesignWorks) reported@ntbrown01 @Steam I have a 2nd gen MS Surface that I want to turn into a portable steam machine. Problem is going to be cracking it open to replace the battery.
-
StockStackr (@VeganCatBounce) reportedThe actual problem is I got a new phone # and steam will not let me log in with a password, an email, they are forcing me to give that phone # I can not play war of rights because I refuse to let steam farm me. **** off @Steam
-
BritishDissonance (@Britdissonance) reported@jcrain1991 @Zoroarts @Steam Buddy if the average person can beat it in 2 hours its not worth a pricetag. If the average person can't and the refunds are from people that didn't like it then he's complaining about a non issue. Can't have it both ways.
-
X|1MantisPhoenix (@1mantisphoenix) reported@Masterchiefin21 the problem is that @Steam allows publishers to treat gamers based on where they are from, whereas they should PROMOTE treating ALL GAMERS equally on the steam platform. The very same game above is 1/2 the price because someone lives in China VS South Africa. WTF is the reason for needing more from us Africans?!
-
Dan Abrenica (@Dan_Abrenica) reported@MattyDanner @Steam Hello @MattyDanner, I have a question, if Jose and Panchito have a angry issue and sent there near the water. Will there be 2 Big Reflections of Jose and Panchito's counterparts or just the same reflection as the same order to Devil Donald as he splits himself into a few devils.
-
Jim Crain (@jcrain1991) reported@Britdissonance @Zoroarts @Steam Thanks for answering that yes you are a simpleton. The average person doesn't beat it in 2 hours. Thats what "average time to beat is 3-4 hours" means. If its a refund for not liking it. Fine. That's perfectly acceptable. Problem is...HE SAID THE GAME WAS GREAT IN THE REVIEW!
-
Shedewff🐀 (@Shedewff1) reported@Zoroarts @Steam make a game worth keeping after people finish it idk this is NOT a common problem
-
Carlos Macias (@cmaciasjimenez) reported@SnazzyLabs Agree. When I unboxed mine and asked me to plug in for the first time I thought “ok setup” but a couple days later it asked me again for a fw update and that really surprised me. Xbox does it wirelessly without issue. This should be improved @Steam @OnDeck
-
Zynner (@zynnachin) reported@Shinogi_Trench @BasedBickle @Steam Wow, the game has some glaring issues that it takes playtime to figure out? Because they didn’t adequately playtest it? And I don’t get to speak about it? You are a spiritual slave
-
MaximusChaddikus (@MaximusChadikus) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I have a question Steams refund policy has been around how long? And you put this game on steam knowing this why? Sounds like a you problem.
-
Cezary Kruszewski (@CezaryKruszews1) reported@KagutsuchiHeika @Pirat_Nation Actually issue is with @Steam as it was clearly stated by them that accounts cannot be passed on.
-
Zenathir (@zenathir) reported@Riley_McKenna1 @Steam Well, I don't know why steam hates you, but I've had no problems
-
oNo_The_Gamer 🇵🇷🏙️🎮 (@ono_the_gamer) reported@UbisoftSupport there wouldn't be a problem if it was offered for free on @Steam. hope this helps 👍🏽
