  @Steam @discord @Windows The CLOSEST thing I got to it working the way I want, is by launching steam or discord via powershell. Which half works (does for Discord). But I launch steam by right-clicking on the icon and selecting 'Friends' so the friends list appears. Which the powershell thing doesnt fix.

  @4KTSlimeOwner @Steam Customer service is non-existence here they just lie so you can come here to complain and get no response, their support team is completely BS. Lay your complaint to OLHASLEUTH1 here on X for quick resolve

  @itsmja00 @Steam I put in a refund request and they gave me an error lol I’m not even really expecting anything I just don’t morally agree with how they’ve conducted themselves. If the game was still running and being updated I wouldn’t request a refund, and I haven’t opened it in years

  @Pirat_Nation @Steam @valvesoftware In an ideal world yes, but it's more to the effect of a grandfathered in aspect. Roughly 75% of everyone is there, other options are almost moot, as a cult following talks about convenance, and then complains about every aspects it creates. If one want's to be able to refund any game, expect that game to be 100 dollars, especially when purchasing it from a 3rd party store front. Don't mistake the issue. This is not a "Steam" issue, it's an informed consumer issue. So what Gabe Newell says is technically true, but the users are on auto pilot to the next fad, not proper investment. It is the consumer that makes Steam a "monopoly", not Steam/Valve itself. #StopKillingGames #DirectSupport #FundAllocation

  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.

  @valvesoftware @Steam just a friendly tip for my favourite company of all time, due to the controller issue recently, limit the steam frame and machine 1 per household, and a similar process to the new controller protocol you just announced. To stop trolls. So we don’t miss out.

  @litteralyme0 @Steam support is excellent. I had a problem once and they went above and beyond to fix it for me. Legends.

  @PedroAntunes999 @Steam @Steam_Support Sorry to hear you're having trouble accessing your account. Do you still have access to the original email address associated with the account?

  @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.

  @PlayWarframe It's probably not you, it's probably the @Steam problems that got reported earlier

  @GooningOnRumble @Steam Wtf? I don't believe that I have ever had this issue.

  Alec (@SavageRedCrow) reported 30 minutes ago

  @valvesoftware @Steam I'm glad to hear you guys put some restrictions on the reservation. i hope the steam frame and machine have the same. to be clear i did get a controller during that first round, i could have used 2 but out of fairness i only ordered 1 to let others have a chance. while i literally waited "a min" before trying again i looked at X and saw everyone was having a problem and that spamming worked. i mean it wasn't just like clicking when the button reappeared, i spammed the hell outta that screen for like 10 min.

  @Steam Gaben is the best and we love Steam but it'd be VERY unfortunate for this to be a problem when I've spent well over a thousand dollars on Steam over the past 15 years.

  @UmbrellaFight I'd say Steam's only real issue is discovery, but this is a problem on every platform (and not just for games). I want to see new games, but it's kinda hard to find them. Imagine if @Steam and @X accounts could be linked so Twitter could show games similar to those I like.

  @Steam, why does this error occur? Error There was a problem trying to follow this Steam Curator. Possible reasons: You cannot follow a curator that you are already ignoring. You can only follow up to 100 curators at the same time. Limited accounts cannot follow a curator. OK

  All the piracy issue could've been solved if only you publish games on the @Steam platform. It's really not that hard, you'll gain a lot of loyal supporters if you switch to publishing more games on Steam. @valvesoftware solved this piracy issue before when no corporation did it.

  Found an issues with Steam VR when ether trying to load Steam VR or trying to load a VR Game. @Steam and/or @SteamVR would crash. I thougt it was my dying Hard Drive (because sometimes it causes issues) but no, the solution was to unplug my PS5 controller. IDK if its a issue in Steam or Steam VR given I haven't left my PS5 controller plugged in in a while. Also I'm using Linux (CachyOS) and the headset I'm using is the Quest 3 (sadly) @valvesoftware #Linux #VR #Gaming

  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.

  @Snowmobile2004 @Steam @OnDeck I'm glad it worked for you, but it looks like a lot of other people have the same issue and tried more times. The algorithm God blessed you
