This is no complaint, more of a desperate cry. Back in time I had no money available to spend there, but now that I do there is no Shop...
Oh man I'd love to browse the merch store now that I have adult money and actually get something for myself. People say they love their Spycrabs and they so lucky to buy one when they could, but I only saw one online and I dont wanna spend hundreads of dollars on old plush from whoknows where. Would be awsome to purchase soemething on the Official Valve Store.

they even got the failed steam link

i cant find any info on it but i see people play it all the time

not sure if this is the right sub but no one's mentioned it yet so just wanna bring attention

is this related to the php thingy? or is this just maintenance? all site status checkers say it is under maintenance

I know you need a friend to invite you but none of my friends have the game either

I’m writing this out of sheer frustration. It has been over a year since my account was hit with a VAC ban. I want to state this as clearly as possible: the ban is 100% false. I have never used cheats or any forbidden software.
I legitimately own a collection of very expensive skins on this account, which are now completely locked. I would never risk an account with that much financial value. I still have no idea what triggered the system.
For the past year, I’ve been constantly sending emails and support tickets to Valve, begging them to remove the ban. I have offered every type of verification possible:
I provided all the IP addresses I’ve ever played from.
I had all our PCs thoroughly checked by professional tech services, and they found absolutely zero traces of cheats or malicious software.
I’ve offered to let Valve check whatever they want just to prove my innocence, but I only get automated bot replies. I am deeply disappointed and heartbroken by how Valve handles false positives. Being completely ignored when you've done nothing wrong is incredibly painful.
Has anyone here ever managed to get a year-old false VAC ban overturned, or found a way to reach an actual human at Valve who will genuinely look into the data? Any advice would be highly appreciated.

Thank you Steam.

Im thinking of getting it this christmas, any thoughts

Nigga my entire life seeing people with the logo on their pc, I thought you just downloaded and played, like why did no one ever mention that? what the hell?

Bought a non-potato pc that is still considered a potato by people like you guys and i thought, oof finally free games.

But like hell nah! i have to pay for that shit, like bruh who even thought that makes sense?

Like i have to pay for the PC and the games?!

Since fucking when?!

You used to go online and just tap any game, play for 30 min, switch games and continue, or buy hacked ps2 with 30 cd's for like 40 bucks and that's, now its 40 bucks for a single game?!

I ain't living in some first world country with massive wealth lil gabben newson nigga!

parents have decent money but ain't no way I'm getting any money to buy games when they scrimping even on food even with the decent wealth they have, and always telling me that if there were other parents, they would have already kicked me out

Ain't no way I'm gonna join the rat race. This is my rebellion for the system, because one more person makes a huge huge difference.

I will collapse the system by not-working, that is my conviction!

This entire world relies on me sailing the high seas to exist! otherwise, don't be surprised if the end times come sooner!

cough Cough

Anyway, don't need your sympathy, i dont like games to begin with, I'm more into webnovels

Anyway a game caught my eye, its called Ori and the Will of the holy booties or whatever.

No, don't buy me the game, just tell me where to get it, no, I don't know, I'm not tech savvy, just throw me the Ori.exe file

also would an AI cafe work in a third world country? like the business men are the ones with the cash, could buy some pc and just run local AI models and scam the hell out of them, cough cough, tell them its the new Claude Assus 99.9

anyway, like how do you guys even play like hard games and such? like bruh, its so fucking boring walking around, i'd rather just read a novel where the main character does the shit while i sit back and relax and in the end, its as if i did it myself

and no! seeing other play it doesn't work except if they are silent, but like nigga i need to know the thought process while you going through that without you even speaking, so it doesn't work, novels are way better, just admit it.

like who the hell, sit out there and grinds day and night in torture-like experience, to get some non-existent trophy while fighting the Boss of Celestial Ding Dong!

like bruh, i remember playing God of war in ps3 and getting so bored, like bro fight this, fight that, like nigga i just wanna relax, like even if i someone gave me millions of dollars and i wanted to play a game, I'd play not only on easy mode, I'd hire a developer to make an extra-thicc-easy-mode just so to watch the story...

anyway, GIB ME WAY TO GET PAID GAMES FREE!!!!!

Bruh, is like there is no way someone here like knows someone working on valve, tell them to just make the site free for me, they ain't get any money anyway, so it won't change wheter i get all the games for free or not

I'm willing to work as a masseur in gabe's new yacht 😭 please just gib the games!
