Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Xenos (Ambassador Of Indie Games) (@WrenchOfChaos) reported@PotatoCrispDip @Steam The problem is that you can return any game through steam within 2 weeks and played under 2 hours, and many devs who have made critically acclaimed but very short games have made this same complaint about people beating & returning the game. It's a a problem steam needs to fix

Gærsstapa (@gaersstapa) reported@allefornication @Zoroarts @Steam Well that's the thing, replayability does include wasting the players time, but the player doesn't mind because usually they unlock new things (skills, characters, cards, paths, etc). Blue Prince is a good example- 1 going through of the game is fairly short, however through subsequent playthroughs you unlock new cards/rooms and this opens up new paths of progression. Now in a slop game, which are highly focused on online/co-op experiences, they are generally short, a round of Meccha Chameleon lasts like 10 minutes all together, and that's it, games done. However the reason players keep going back is because of that online experience, which in itself creates new adventures and paths and opportunities. Now you've gone from 10 minutes, to 2, 5, 10+ hours of gameplay all on the same short loop and a handful of maps. And this game apparently does not have that replayability factor, if I were the dev, even though I've had a highly successful launch (most indies sell about 2000 copies on average I think) selling many hundreds of thousands of copies, even with that high refund rate, I would sit there and try and figure out why people are refunding firstly, and secondly why is my player count low. Are those things I can fix or are they things for me to learn going into my next game. And its ok btw, I had to make dozens of demos, and game jam games before I had an idea that was solid enough for people to play. So on that one fair do's to him, however you don't ask for a system to be upended on the basis of a handful of reviews that took the piss against potentially many others that refunded because they thought your game sucked. So when I say pad it out that does not just mean add **** for shits sake, which is what people think because they aren't developers, but it also means how can I create a more engaging gameplay loop, how do I attract my target audience, how do I keep them having fun. And if you haven't answered these questions, what are you doing. And gameplay loops btw aren't long, they are often anywhere from a minute to 10-20 minutes. Break down any game that you've played and you realise this is the case, even open world games when you might get dozens to hundreds of hours of game time.

-
TheSoloWolf (@TheSoloWolf7) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I don’t think they should fix the refund policy I think a way to combat This is make your game longer make your game worth keeping with updates I do agree this is a **** thing to do but steam has a really good refund policy that helps the customer over the company, which is good

Nyxbelle (@bb_minte) reported@Steam Fix your servers :((

ZoroTheWingWam🇮🇪🩵🪽 (@Zorothewingwam) reported@Zoroarts @Steam This seems like a you problem

maestrolee (@maestrolee_kr) reported@ColorTheBooks @Steam I heard that Valve has already been on vacation, so if that’s still affecting the review process, we’re really in trouble. Please...

Desus Elba (@Black_L0tus_013) reportedI have a refund issue and i keep getting rejected. I am playing marvel tokon on pc and when i initially get fighting games i spend time in training first before exploring other modes. Im am over the 2 hours but the game crash when i play 2 other modes. I need a refund @Steam
-
BYYONI (@BYYONI1) reported@CombateMonero I Support already refused, giving a generic corporate response with information that doesn't relate to the problem. Now I've written to the support that handles festivals directly and I'm waiting for a response. Unfortunately, @Steam rarely cares about developers' problems.
-
BYYONI (@BYYONI1) reported@CombateMonero @Steam And yeah, judging by the fact that I received a template response, @Steam_Support has started using bots and AI to reply to developers... I got the same template rejection that barely answers my questions or relates to my problem.
-
BritishDissonance (@Britdissonance) reported@jcrain1991 @Zoroarts @Steam The irony in calling me a simpleton when you're clearly a complete retard, good lord. Now you're making the argument that steam policy should change on one review? My whole point is either most people are refunding after beating it in under 2 hours, in which case its not worth the money, or they are refunding it for other reasons which is a non issue. Either way this dev is complaining about nothing.
-
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.
-
Tappin (@t4ppin) reportedFix your game please add elo rollback for cheater games. The amount of cheaters is disgusting and your killing your game by allowing this to happen. Just played against two blatant hackers and lost -450 cause of it. @valvesoftware @Steam @CounterStrike

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. 🙄
-
Witchmaster (@Witchmaster) reported@SurvivalGN @ConanExiles @Steam The biggest issues in most survival games of its generation, are to assume PvP can carry interest long term. NEW CONTENT was provided by Modding. But they need something to work with. Gamers need experiences, encounters, mysteries. And do something with what's there. Stagnant 🤬

🏴Obscure outpost podcast🐦 (@Obscure_Outpost) reported@ItzPuddleJumper @Steam Steam deck uses steam os which uses arch Linux as a base,Arch is a cutting edge rolling operating system so updates can break it usually they put the fix for it on archs website.

Slave to the Caffeine (@SlavetotheCaff1) reported@SmashUltimateB1 @Zoroarts @Steam It's the easiest way to address the problem. I didn't and wouldn't do it but steam isn't going to budge

James M ✝🇻🇦 🇮🇪 (@Jimmay94) reported@Steam Im more of a fan of being allowed to login to the account I own with my games without being dicked around, too bad steam can't do that it seems

Mücadele'ye devam (@yigido50sekiz) reported@Steam I can't connect to the voice room; nothing about your system is stable. Whenever there's an update, a host of problems follows—when will a solution be found for this?
-
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.

Humberto Camarillo (@humbertoc_13) reported@gameunlocked26 I can't not even open the game at all on my PC, @Steam please fix the issue
