    @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.

    @UnfoldedAxe @UbisoftSupport @Steam nope has never worked to fix any UBI game ever, problem always with their launcher

    @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

    @minkrov @Anaya_sharma876 @Steam The games themselves aren't the problem - most anticheat systems actually support Linux *natively* these days... The problem is that the developers behind many multiplayer games *choose* to blacklist Linux because they're anti-Linux. Also, they're a small part of the industry.

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Lmao.. It had that error due to server overload.. FROM DEMAND.. You should've clicked more bud.

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Bro, is this a late April fool? You have perhaps one of the shittiest launchers ever made in pc history. Every ******* time I open Uplay I have to resyinc some **** or login again. Just do yourself a favour, close that Cloaca Maxima and bring your games on Steam already.

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam The only problem is your trash launcher.

  • GengoraltP

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam The problem is YOUR ******* LAUNCHER YOU USELESS PIECE OF ****!

  • BiohazardHawk

    @valvesoftware @Steam will it be a revisioned model soon? usually the first batch has some problems

  • AyeimCooper
    Cooper (@AyeimCooper) reported

    @IndeedWholesome @valvesoftware @Steam Sold out already and I was having issues trying to push my through 😢

  • MikeTriceratops
    Michael (@MikeTriceratops) reported

    @smith_rust @valvesoftware @Steam Anybody that actually pays them those prices and rewards them for their scummy selfish behavior is only perpetuating the issue and encouraging them to continue scalping. Out of principle, I will wait however long I need to in order to purchase directly from Valve.

  • RGB_MIDAS
    hombo (@RGB_MIDAS) reported

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Actually the issue usually lies within your launcher and not Steam's. There is absolutely no reason why I need to enter my password every time for *some* games but it works fine for others. There has never been a single day where uPlay/Ubisoft Connect has been good.

  • SgtMccray
    Billy Exeter (@SgtMccray) reported

    @MrKillevrything @GooningOnRumble @Steam Now THAT is saying something. If MKE has many gifted games and has never run into the issue…I don’t know. But I can’t wait for all the stupid suggestions like “Did you check the router?”

  • SubmarineTower
    Active Tower Lore (@SubmarineTower) reported

    @Steam I am unable to request a refund at the moment. I get a red error and when I hit try again I get the message error code: -379.

    @fr33thytweaks @Steam If the problem is the hardware, a firmware update isn’t gonna change anything lol

  • CodenameTHO
    Rennette 🐘 (@CodenameTHO) reported

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Yeah, because Steam is totally the issue you prat.

  • heavilof

    @valvesoftware @Steam fix vac, it's false banning people 24/7 but not banning people with very famous pellix

    @GeraltofGoonia @valvesoftware @Steam Welp, now I have to go help fix this ****...

    @valvesoftware @Steam To those getting the “transaction” error just keep spamming continue, it take a minute or two but it will go though!

  • noxtics
    Mark Guy (@noxtics) reported

    @nicholasadeleon @valvesoftware @Steam I got the same error, I didn’t spam it though, I let it sit for a bit and then tried again. It took 5 attempts like this and then I got through.

  • Cuprumator
    Cuprumator 🇺🇦 (@Cuprumator) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam Dudes, fix payment in Europe. I cant proceed with my purchase

  • hide_X666
    J. Ilmari (@hide_X666) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam Would've been nice if your servers would've let me purchase it. Got errors 30 mins straight and then it was sold out

  • kayseeed
    kayseed (@kayseeed) reported

    @Feeh_LacerdaS @studiozaum @Steam the specific sentiment was regarding the individuals on the team who were the sole reason the issues came to happen in the first place. don't be obtuse

  • MrKillevrything
    Mr. Killeverything (@MrKillevrything) reported

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

  • olafkswg
    olafkswg - Buying Skins 95% (@olafkswg) reported

    Is this a planned change with no announcement or a bug? Broken trade history suggests the other, @Steam support can't answer this question.

  • Judokast
    Patrick (@Judokast) reported

    @Smthingedgy I've never once had a problem with @Steam . From refunds to technical problems whatever and do you know what other company I can say that about these days? NONE, the ******* answer is NONE! Gabe fulfilled the social contract. He gave us what we need and want, he gets a yacht.

  • Creo_exe
    Creo (@Creo_exe) reported

    Alright I need to talk about the customer support over at @valvesoftware and @Steam That **** goes SO HARD. Like, idk what y'all are teaching your employees, but keep that going. EVERY time I've needed ANYTHING you've always been a great help. This is why I use your service.

  • DrewFlashy1
    Fallout Flashy (@DrewFlashy1) reported

    I was skeptical about @Steam's controller costing an outrageous $100, $30 more than a Nintendo Pro controller. However, I now know you can open it to maybe fix it yourself and if you drop it, it Wilhelm screams. Such humanity is worth it. Our household will have 2.

    @lichqueenie @UbisoftSupport @Steam I tried to play Far Cry 3 but it kept crashing constantly. Ubisoft launcher was the issue and best way to fix it was pirating it because it avoids ubi launcher lol
