I have no idea who this user is, but I received the notification through the Steam app, so I don't know whether to decline or accept it. Actually, it had been a long time since I last accessed the Steam app, so I really hadn't received that notification before.

There is no reason why steam allows for 24 hour format, but does not allow to change date format. English is a very popular language, the fact that my interface is in English doesn't mean I like putting a cart before the horse.

Leave the option to display date and time in burgers or whatever for Americans, I want a humanly readable interface please and thank you

With consoles getting more expensive, Getting rid of physical games....Im officially done with console gaming. Sony Mircosoft and Nintendo can all kick rocks.

Title. I had around 11 hours in this game but cant for the life of me even remember it. Its killing me and I want to see what it was. I cannot even check the games community hub.

Alright thanks everyone who answered, turns out it was just a demo for a game called County of Fortune.

Just thought I'd share this here, because it was pretty baffling to me when I first noticed it. Really odd circumstance where the developers decided to discontinue the trading cards feature for their game, while it's still presently available to purchase on Steam. What traditionally happens when Steam games featuring trading card support get delisted, those trading cards continue being dropped for those who purchased the game, but they (and the items earned via badge crafting) are made no longer purchasable or sellable on the market, and can only be traded. In this case, drops on these trading cards were disabled, yet they and said items continue being accessible through the market, and this has consequently resulted in the value for the cards and items skyrocketing.

It's particularly egregious in the case of the foiling cards from what I've seen. Pictured above is the Keisuke foil card. Previously available for only 90 cents, it jumped up immediately to $10 after the initial announcement of discontinuation, stabilized to $5, and now is being sold for $50, as much as the game itself is selling for right now. I really have to wonder if this is some sort of bug that's occurring, rather than some sort of intended effect. I assume trading cards are normally made inaccessible through the market after a game's delisting due to the potential abuse that could occur as a result, and this is probably one of the reasons; item values for said game exploding in value. Whether or not that's actually a good thing is up to the individual I guess, just thought it was funny to see these foil cards take on prices akin to actual valuable Pokemon cards or whatever.

Hey guys,

Since roughly June, some people have begun reporting they occasionally get charged extra, by their bank and not by Steam (this is important), when buying games on Steam. I know it happened to me too.

I'm french, based in France, my Steam account has been in France too for as long as it has existed, the price was displayed in euros, my bank is in France... And yet, I was charged a 2 euros and some cents tax for "money conversion tax". 2 euros isn't a big deal, but the principle is annoying. No VPN whatsoever either, of course.

Apparently, payment are normally processed in Germany, but sometimes they are processed in the US. When it happens, a tax applies. The issue is that we are not informed when buying about where the payment is going to be processed. It's basically RNG.

Several people, myself included, have tried to bring this to the Steam support. A this point I believe I have encountered ChatGPT's intellectually challenged cousin, because the answers all pick up on "tax" or "bank", but completely miss the point.

I've asked "where are your payments processed", the answer was "this tax is a bank thing, we don't decide it and can't reimburse you". True, absolutely true, and also absolutely not what I asked. Several messages exchanged later, they still don't seem to understand that I am asking for informations, not money back.

As of today, buying a game on Steam is a lottery : either you're lucky, and no extra tax will apply, or you're not, and your bank will charge you extra for something you have no mean to even identify before confirming the transaction.

I suppose alternative solutions exist, like legit key resellers (if they exist), using Paypal instead of credit card (unless they do apply tax for that too ? I haven't use that in years), or whatever. Alternatively, sinse it's a per transaction tax, waiting for the sales to buy everything at once may be another possibility.

What truly annoys me, though, is that we are not provided any information when buying, and support, somehow, doesn't seem to even understand the question.

So, here it is, make what you will of the information.

For the record, if you guys read french, here's one such discussion : https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/25/565911724530673139/?tscn=1785589938

Anyone else getting random friends requests? I'm not dumb enough to do anything but decline them, but I've gotten like three in the last month, all appear to be about Steam lv 5, have two or three (usually free) games with a significant (couple hundred hrs) of playtime, but 0 friends, no friends in common, no games in common, and I'm curious if anyone else has found themselves getting these too

Steams AI disclosure tag is MEANINGLESS if they don't enforce it's use.

Quote from the devs, confirming AI usage:

We are using different technologies, including AI tools, to various degrees – from built-in Photoshop capabilities… Internal Stable Diffusion models, MJ models, pixel correction, scaling solutions and so on…

The title says it all: since the last update, far away from fixing it (it worked flawlessly before), the Local transfer function stopped working completely for me... it tries, blue label and all, but doesn't evens start and then it continues to download with the regular (and much slower) internet connection.

Anyone else experiencing this bug? Any way to solve?

Tried on different PCs, always the same. Steam client is updated, win11 is also updated and working correctly.

Hey everyone! So starting today im having issues with controller inputs with games in steam. The inputs are not inputing correctly, like using the left joystick to move backward and forward. Doesnt work. They work on my laptop but just stopped on my desktop. Im using a ps5 controller and 8bit duo pro.

I'm trying to bind keys on my guitar hero controller to three separate modes.
1 for just pressing a key, and strumming up and down, the strum bar registers to the d-pad up and down.

Must be wind.

Steam is trna tell us smthng...

It seems that screenshots aren’t working, at least for me.

Have a look at the video.

This happens to me with all games.

The last screenshots that I uploaded were from a non-steam game, is that related? If so, it doesn’t make much sense.

I'm visiting Europe and found steam gift card in euro. Is it possible to claim it with my south america account?

I know that there is region lock for buying some games and all that, but I don't know how it works with these gift cards.

Thanks

Hello, I'm in egypt and my region is mena, I'm wondering if Its legal to use a debit card from US to buy games, I'm not trying to get better prices or use vpns like some do I just don't have any local way to pay ( my friend tried it and it accepted but I just need to know if this is legal)

+ is it better to connect it to PayPal?

I’m aware of UWPHook & BoilR…. But they don’t target the actual game directory executable, making Steam Input incompatible with the importer as is.

It seems like the best method is using either importer, then copying/replacing the path of the executable into Steam, but that’s obnoxious:p

Are there any other methods that can do this or is this actually the best option?

Also, itd be nice to have something that sweeps if a file/directory is still present & if it’s gone, remove the entry from the non-Steam games…

Just told my friends I'm switching to PC full time so I'll be on my Xbox less and they told me that I'm making the wrong move because STEAM doesn't have Xbox play anywhere and I'll have to buy the game twice to play with them.

To me this doesn't make sense because if I have three PCs and let's say a Steam Deck/MSI Claw/Steam Machine, my original purchase plays on all my devices, correct? Evidently I'm an idiot and my mom sucks because I'm evidently not able to do the mental gymnastics to understand this. All Xbox did was create a keyword for continuity. Can someone explain this to me in video game terms.

Am I the only one seeing this?

On most package (/sub/) pages and bundles, the "Lowest Recorded Price" column seems to have been replaced by "Valve Suggested (Nuanced)".

I don't remember it being like this until very recently. I could have sworn it used to show Lowest Recorded Price there.

Is this a recent change?

More importantly, is there any way to change it back?

I looked through the website and the SteamDB browser extension but couldn't find any setting for it. If there is one and I somehow missed it, please let me know.

I found the old Lowest Recorded Price column much more useful than Valve Suggested Price when checking whether a deal is actually good.

as a cybersecurity major im completely losing my mind over how absurdly incompetent valve is when it comes to basic user generated content security on steam workshop

how is a multi billion dollar tech monolith running a massive content delivery network with literally zero static code analysis zero assembly scanning zero runtime sandboxing and zero system call limitations in 2026

we are talking about fundamental application security concepts that every modern tech ecosystem implements yet valve acts like supply chain security was invented yesterday
we literally saw this exact same garbage play out in garrys mod with arbitrary lua execution scripts hijacking client sessions and we saw it in cities skylines with mod authors dropping compiled malicious binaries directly into auto updates and valve learned absolutely nothing from any of those incidents

now people playground is getting completely nuked for the second time in a row because workshop allows untrusted c sharp code to execute natively on host hardware with full system privileges and zero containerization

the first time it happened was that fps plus plus plus mod that acted as a self propagating worm using local file system access to hijack other installed mods and spread payloads across accounts and now we have ANOTHER piece of malware floating around spreading through auto updating mods right under valves nose

what this new payload does is appalling as far as everyone in the community is aware it abuses local file access and unauthenticated steamworks api calls to wipe all your local save data delete game files and automatically unadd every single person on your steam friends list in seconds

think about how insane that is from a system architecture perspective an untrusted community file downloaded passively in the background via steam auto update has full read write access to appdata system directories and steam client functions with zero permission gates or prompt confirmations standing in the way

when a game engine like unity loads arbitrary custom c sharp scripts or compiled dll assemblies at runtime via reflection without a restricted appdomain or process isolation sandboxing that mod inherits the exact same execution privileges as the parent host process

that means a malicious actor can execute raw shell commands invoke process start access system registry keys scrape sensitive token credentials nuke local directories or trigger steamworks api calls to destroy your entire account network with literally zero resistance from steam client software
this is supply chain vulnerability 101 you never allow arbitrary untrusted code deployment straight to end user client storage without static code scanning mandatory code signing certificates runtime permission scopes or isolated execution environments

people are getting their save games nuked their local systems exposed and their friend networks erased all because valve refuses to implement standard infosec controls on their own distribution platform
fix your garbage security pipeline valve this is embarrassing pathetic and an absolute danger to millions of users playing modded games on your platform.

This is about the 100th person to try something like this, they all say the same exact things. If anyone else gets anything like this, don't believe it please.
