Steam Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Pyr0mander (@Pyr0Mander) reported@BenderFondue @Zoroarts @Steam Also you can't even try to refund a game if you played over 2 hours, so just make the game longer. Also from what he said in the thread its only speedrunners that can play it under 2 hours, so a minority of gamers. Seems like a non issue to me
-
Dingo Love Simulator (@dingoman5001) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I'm sorry but that is your problem for making a game with barely a triple-digit minute runtime
-
AllahingMutant (@AllahingMutant) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Skill issue. Your game is the equivalent of a fat chick that puts out on the first date and is a lousy lay on top of that. If people aren't coming back for seconds, that's on you.
-
Carrot King 👑 (@Terkelfisk) reported@Zoroarts @Steam It is weird to refund a game that they liked. But if they didn't like it, then I don't see a problem with them refunding it, even if they completed it. A short game shouldn't be a work around the two hour refund mark that is Steam's policy.
-
Nameless chicken (@Namelesschicke2) reported@MythThrazz @Zoroarts @Steam The problem is what if I spend say 40-1 hour trying to get a game to work and fail? Why would I not get my money back for that?
-
Caribouwu (@karibuwu) reported@BryceGuilbert @Zoroarts @Steam For me the test is for those who can only think with dichotomies and blame "If we changed things to accommodate you it might get worse in general so you should stop being so selfish. Go suffer in silence." No compromise? This problem isn't unique and complex
-
drakkillen (@drakkillen) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Whats the issue? Its working just as it should
-
Caribouwu (@karibuwu) reported@Kijara42 @Zoroarts @Steam We aren't talking about valid returns here though. We're talking about people abusing the return system to get the game for free like the case in the screenshot. If this were a legitimate pricing problem, then reviews would reflect that and call it out as a bad value. (1/2)
-
MultiEnding Heroes OUT NOW! 🇦🇷 (@NicoDiti) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Add a 3 hours ending cutscene like Kojima and no more problems.
-
Somni (@Angel4466889) reported@Zoroarts @Krazerack @Steam Steam doesn’t have devs it loves its consumer base genuinely just make a longer game and its not a problem
-
Maxie 🎮 Bloodstained CotM | Visions of Mana (@maxieaftermdnyt) reported@PlayStation If I wanna play co-op games, I’d rather play on @Steam No need to pay for multiplayer for online co-op. And they have good customer service when it comes to digital purchases, which you DON’T Ya sure can REALLY afford to go discless? #NoDiscNoBuy
-
ZoroTheWingWam🇮🇪🩵🪽 (@Zorothewingwam) reported@Zoroarts @Steam This seems like a you problem
-
CynoSideUp 🍳 (@LiquidEffer) reported@L9FRIENDLYSTYLE @Zoroarts @Steam > Two completely unrelated issues
-
RickTrajan (@RickTrajan) reported@gaersstapa @Zoroarts @Steam The problem with this mindset is it encourages prolonging a game rather than doing what it's meant to do (telling a story, good multiplayer setup, or whatever a game you want it to be). It's like word count on essays, vehicles being predominantly suvs and trucks in US, etc.
-
Gingersnaps (@GingersnapsTM) reported@Zoroarts @Steam If you put that DLC you're peddling in the base game instead it would be long enough that nullify this issue.
-
Aria Amaryllis (@AriaALake) reported@PlayerKirbo @Zoroarts @Steam If they're allowed to do it, then it is a problem with the refund policy. ***** sake y'all are dumb.
-
GOD BLESS A MIRACLE! (MIRACLES HAPPEN EVERY DAY!) (@BruceMakegoo) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Refunds were added due to a legal issue, so steam might not want to push their luck with refunds and risk a new court case/law that forces a policy that is worse for themselves and/or devs. They have had no issue neutering many other features due to abuse already in the past.
-
Aaron Li (@polymorpher) reported@Steam Minor issue: audio is choppy with Studio Display via HDMI - USB-C cable, hopefully it will be fixed with software updates / DP cable
-
L9FRIENDLYSTYLE (@L9FRIENDLYSTYLE) reported@LiquidEffer @Zoroarts @Steam Do you typically spend your energy on the problems you have the power to solve or do you complain about issues out of your control publicly This guys spam refreshing his sea of thumbs up reviews and he saw a singular red one and posted this while ignoring ones with real issues
-
Xenos (Ambassador Of Indie Games) (@WrenchOfChaos) reported@PotatoCrispDip @Steam But Steam is the biggest by far so you're losing an insane amount of money & exposure by not having your game on Steam, and there's no reason to keep the store hostile to short games when there's a simple fix. I don't understand defending keeping it that way.
-
Ricky (@ricanteja) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Easy fix for this is to add trophies to track progression. If a user has unlocked almost all achievements in almost two hours, you can’t get a refund. Of course trophies placement in game has to be balanced, maybe some should be a little out of the way to get.
-
j (@FUCKJVLY) reported@Steam One of the biggest online markets with millions of users needs a phone service. It’s ******* ridiculous I have to wait hours or days for a reply on a hacked account….. Especially accounts worth thousands.
-
Pryn Nea (@prynneahroth) reported@KazuoSergal @Zoroarts @Steam retard. this isnt a fix. imagine a cashier hands you a cookie and its delicious and you go "im not paying because it was too small'
-
no one (@dimipossum) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Dont make games under 2 hours, if you cant its not my Problem. I refund
-
Machete Paul (@Machete_Paul_) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I've put 5 hours into A Webbing Journey and most of that was before they added real stuff to do. Just ******* with the physics was entertaining enough to earn 3 hours from me. Sounds like a skill issue homie.
-
gfodor.id (@gfodor) reported@OlexGameDev @Zoroarts @Steam I don’t need to provide a solution to avoid concluding there isn’t one. I’m pretty confident it can be solved, it’s rooted in a classification problem. I have like 5-10 ideas just sitting that I would try if I worked at Valve and cared enough to try to fix it.
-
Shedewff🐀 (@Shedewff1) reported@Zoroarts @Steam make a game worth keeping after people finish it idk this is NOT a common problem
-
Psykatomique productions (@Psykatomique) reported@Zoroarts @Steam At this point, if you sell a game that is less than 2 hour... the gamer is not the problem here... We have more and more games on steam, i would rather have half and more consistent.
-
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!
-
𝐁𝐒𝐏𝟑 (@RealBSP3) reported@Zoroarts @Steam They might be falling under some play requirement limit. Maybe that limit is two hours. I've returned two games. I played both for half an hour, and realized one was broken, and the other departed too far from a franchise I loved to keep playing.
