    @GamingCentral26 The subscription isn't the issue. It's ownership and recovery. Digital libraries only work if verified owners can regain access after a compromise. @Steam has shown this is possible for years.

    @Zoroarts @Steam I am so sorry this happened and Im glad that person commented as a way for you to see your game isnt the issue, even if they are part of the problem. I hope they change this for smaller games.

    @dillzilla11 @LinuxMostly @Steam My dad didn't play on his account for literally years, then gave it to his stepson so he could play his games, literally no problems.

    @Zoroarts @Steam Look, I undertand how it's a problem for you, and a seriously one, but, don't be that person, is not a nice posture to take. Steam refunds used to allow a longer time, them were reduced to 4 hours, and now 2, it sucks people still being able to abuse that, but many games (1/2)

    @Zoroarts @Steam lol make a game longer than 2 hours dumbass. I can't believe that's an actual issue you're having.

  • WrenchOfChaos
    Xenos (Ambassador Of Indie Games) (@WrenchOfChaos) reported

    @PotatoCrispDip @Steam I agree that's on them for submitting a short game and acting surprised when they happened, you really just shouldn't submit a short game to Steam in it's current state if you don't want returns, but that doesn't mean it's still a problem that Steam should (and can) fix.

  • Kenzaro_
    Matt☆Kenzaro (@Kenzaro_) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam If your game can be finished in less than 2 hours for someone that never played it previously, that's on you. Refunds are made to be able to return the product if there's an issue or if not following expectation. 2 hours of gameplay is too short for some people

    @Vetrix22 @Zoroarts @Steam $1 for an hour of fun? Yeah- that’s a good deal. No one said games like that are at risk here. I haven’t done that to an indie developer- that’s cruel. Games like MiSide are fun. Worth the money. Not gonna refund. (Although it was beaten in like an hour) Games that charge AAA title prices that end in under an hour or two is unacceptable- I will refund. I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again with a cute smile. Money isn’t the problem- the principal of the situation is.

    @eramaster12 @Steam @PlayStation Playstation says they want to double down on live service games even after the failures of Concord and Marathon

    @Zoroarts @Steam The problem isn't Steams refund policy.

  • TAW_Odoq
    Odoq (@TAW_Odoq) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam seems like a sinple fix... have a steam achievement when you beat the game. If you get the achievement you can't refund the game...

  • Metal_Dazzaw

    @2K @mafiagame Fix input glyph being blank on steam deck and steam machine? For this and mafia 1 definitive, please? @Steam

  • OperaOfTheLC
    InquisitorIrene (@OperaOfTheLC) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam That’s such a trashy move, why is 2 hours the standard still? There needs to be better ways to issue refunds rather than just a standard 2 hours.

    @Zoroarts @Krazerack @Steam I hate people do that.. unless got issues game really bad i understand....or unplayable.. well some people abuse it ... this gonna be problem later

    @Zoroarts @Steam if your game can be finished in 2h its not a game you should add more content then you dont have this problem

  • PwrPak

    @Steam So you eliminate Nascar Heat and other Nascar base games to promote New Nascar 25 with subscription service , game doesnt allow older PC users to use keyboard, mouse !

    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)

  • Witchmaster
    Witchmaster (@Witchmaster) reported

    @ConanExiles So @steam forced my game to update , despite being hidden. Will you be fixing any of the broken mechanics brought on by this Enhanced con? Let's start small, give me back farenheit temperatures. Oh, and the ability to change mod layouts from the launcher that no one wanted.

    @KagutsuchiHeika @Pirat_Nation Actually issue is with @Steam as it was clearly stated by them that accounts cannot be passed on.

    Artofmusic (@ArttomusicYay) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam You have 1 level what do you expect.... make a longer game can't expect everyone to play for an hour and keep it. Come on its not steams issue.. I have been making games for over 26 years alone. Can't complain if someone beats it in the 2 hours. Thats on you not @Steam

  • Berneirffxiv
    Bernier. ARCHIVE (@Berneirffxiv) reported

    @Steam_Support you really are the GOAT. @Steam usally pulls though. so many years and any problem they do their best. Even if it did not work out they go above and beyond .

  • DracaBro
    DracaBro ✝️☦️ (@DracaBro) reported

    @Zoroarts @nieyter19 @Steam Dude, they don't like when someone is greedy. Some of these folks were going to give your game a try and give an honest review, these are folks doing the only thing they can do, to make sure others realize you messed up and didn't make a good game, you made a meh game not a good game. NOW there is still a chance for the game to become GOOD, but after hearing about the $5 DLCs, I doubt that is possible. Now if you change the price of the DLCs possibly maybe people will change their minds. Anyways I'm done dealing with this terrible hot take you decided was a great idea, and has now brought down your dev carrier. When you get a good review, just be happy to have it; don't complain about it. "don't look a gift horse in the mouth" as they say. That review is now a negative review just so yea know, because you took this path. So, you now have to make up for what you've done, that means making the games better; I suggest taking pointers from other games similar to it. Anyways, I wasted too much time with this stupidity, I have a server to set up, and events to prepare for. Hopefully you fix this situation and accept that Steam has abuse policies in place, and if you want those policies to work in your favor, make better games.

    👾アイリーン👾 (@Ladybug_bu) reported

    🫵😡 @grok @Steam @Steam_Support I made an account on EA App and another on Steam — everything went super smooth and easy. But on Steam I’ve got a problem: it won’t let me log into my account, saying I need to close my mom’s session, even though hers is already closed. I’m not sure if the issue is because I’m using my mom’s PC. When I try to log in on Steam from my phone, it says the password is invalid 😩🔒. I’ve already changed it three times through Steam Help Center and still nothing.

    @Steam put a disc drive in the next steam machine??? I guarantee the games that make the money would have no issues releasing physical.

    @Steam The Steam Mobile App crashes upon pulling up the 2FA prompt making it impossible to log in. Please fix.

    I have gone many years (more than 3yrs) not going on my @Steam account and you know what? I never lost any game or service that I had paid for. They are still there! Eat that @Sony @PlayStation

    Hello @Steam, I bought Sunset Overdrive and Undertale today, but an error occured through my purchase when I bought it. The money was deducted from my card but the Steam app said that the purchase failed due to an incorrect address. I had to redo my purchase for it to work.

    @Steam why is your site infected with a phiishing file? Why is your login system and support system not working? Why has this been going on for over a week.
