Cosmodiver (@Cosmodiver) reported@CharlieFlufboi @valvesoftware @Steam Yeah, looks like even people trying to buy it on Steam are running into errors and can’t purchase it lol
-
Michael Spencer (@ReadFuturist) reported@Steam are you using AI in your customer service now? Literally the worst experience I've ever had being locked out of my account! Definitely considering migrating off of this platform. About to tell everyone I know.

misterwtf (@Braininavat422) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Ok but fix the god damn audio glitch from CS2... I already lost 1 match because of it... My ELO broooo!!!!!!
-
that guy (@danny_mcnasty) reported@smith_rust @valvesoftware @Steam While I hate scalpers, and they were no doubt part of the problem by being apart of the server load, it's not their fault I couldn't purchase one. I had it in my cart at 10:00 PT, immediately went to checkout, and was never able to complete the purchase. My error message didn't change from "error initializing your transaction" to "items in your cart are out of stock" for 40 minutes. This is on Valve and their backend not being able to handle the purchasing traffic. I just hope they're able to identify the issues and make updates so this doesn't happen again in the next batch, the Steam Box, or the Frame

nomellamesfriki (@nomeIlamesfriki) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam You don't own any game bought digitally in Sony or Steam. You only own the license to play it thrugh Sony/Steam. They can close the service when they want. It is all in the TOS.
-
Hellothere (@Injuryyuy) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Yeah I'm not happy with Valve right now. I was there right on time. Every time I tried to push payment through the page gave a weird error. Next thing you know I check and it's sold out. They need to figure some sort of system out to fight off the bots to make it more fair.

REDA40x ♣️🇨🇦 (@REDA40x) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Fix your garbage launcher first. Keeps logging out.
-
Chad Oliver ☮️ 🖖 (@EternalCMO) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Most digital storefronts,including Steam, require a login to verify game licenses; it varies how often. That timer on newly purchased PSN games is to fix a loophole where customers were receiving refunds, but still had access. It'll go away once the 30-day refund window closes.

devilsinme (@22Coolboyo) reported@Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Have u try to disconnect your PC from internet for a day, then try run Steam and play games there.
-
Jamil (@dick_face242) reported@valvesoftware @Steam @valvesoftware you guys do grateful work but the scalpers have made the lanch of the steam controller impossible to buy. I hope there is solution/fix for the controller and for whenever you release the steam machine and the steam frame
-
Sigma The Fox (@SigmaTheFox) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam clearing steam's download cache does not fix "games not starting" issues at all, ubisoft. it only deletes what is currently being downloaded... Why would a game that relies on your useless launcher not start because of a download happening on steam, when it's ready to play?
-
ThisOldGuy 🤘🎸🎮 (@ThisOldGuy3) reported@Cyberpunk100 @Steam I dropped the code in your DM's let me know if you have any issues. 👊🎮
-
Lucoa's Husbano (@Lucoa_Star65) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Here's an easy solution: Delete your ****** DRM Launcher from existence. That will solve the problem.
-
LTLuh (@HiddenTenno) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Fix your launcher, it sucks, or better, let us open the games directly from steam without having to see that mess you call launcher
-
venuswa (@vv_venuswa) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam dude, most of the time steam is not the problem but yours.
-
RarelyBarelyGaming (@Barelygaming0) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck That is a broken system. Valve knows the base, how you not ganna make enough.... Wut.
-
Alfaritsy (@ALF40407) reportedYoo @Steam is goat They fix my issue in a minute XD Thank you Steam
-
ComicalRock (@comicalrock) reported@The_FrostySinZ @UbisoftSupport @Steam As they say, piracy is a service issue, in this new age of lack of real ownership, bad launchers, bad products, DRM ruining performance and etc., it is no wonder piracy is on the rise again. I don't do it myself, but I get it, they need to earn our money and trust again.
-
AzureCrux (@AzureCrux) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Payment processors have rate limits, chief. Too many people wanted controllers at once. Every platform exclusive has this problem, it's frustrating as heck.
-
Michael (@MikeTriceratops) reported@HyperLovingBun @valvesoftware @Steam The controller isn't effected by RAM price increases, so that shouldn't be an issue...
-
Wyrd (@I_am_Wyrd) reported@Steam I'm not sure what the issue is, but in South Africa @Steam browser barely loads. I have done all the trouble shooting, nothing fixes it. Looking to buy a game? Can't. Nothing loads. This problem has been persistent for over a year. Please fix!
-
Red Sox Royal Rooter (@RoyalRooterSox) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Unable to buy due to errors for 20+ minutes, then it sold out. Crazy.
-
Eldritch Boggart (@EldritchBoggart) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Fix your payment system. Broken system so everyone missed out on the pathetically low quantity of controllers you provided for purchase.
-
Avalice Productions (@DaveTheRetroGuy) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam This wouldn't be a problem if your launcher actually worked 🙄
-
RomanInDaRain is Writing... 🇲🇽🇬🇾🇵🇷 (@RomanKingKriz) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam At least steam games drops work, yall twitch drops page been broken for 6 months not a single tweak to it.
-
Mydia (@MydiaStardream) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Scalpers took all the stock. Please fix.
-
Moonfishy (@The__Moonfish) reported@Steam fix your damn CAPTCHA i just want my account back.
-
Colton Pospichal (@PospichalColton) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Fix your storefront so people can actually make transactions or stock enough so people can purchase them.
-
135.x (@135dotx) reported@Pirat_Nation Don't care. Microslop had years➕ to fix @Windows & are only doing it now bc losing ppl to Linux & @Steam. These companies will never learn – I hope gamers finally do. Money is voting power & I haven't spent any since "Xbox One (won)".
-
Matthew Lauseng (@MatthewLauseng) reported@AgbaG257 @Steam Thanks, I finally got logged in after issues with my VPN.
