It was back in March, I flushed my emails since and dont have access to my Steam account to pull the archived tickets (if they exist).

The minuite they go on the stock market im getting a single share and then as a shareholder asking them questions about issues like these as an investor

There was no email, it was using their Support ticket web page.

I never posted any apology response on bluesnews. I just posted what you see here so where did you pick that one from? Your bottom?

THEY WON! They stopped me giving them my money. Gotta love that business model.


One day it could happen to you. I hope you still stand up with those arguments when it does

End result is I stopped giving them my money. I guess they really did win

I did swallow my pride, I appologised to them as they requested.

At least I am not a DISHONEST LIAR unlike Thomas at Valve.

As for the appology, I simply apologised and even asked them for a template for an apology they would be happy with

Actually I wrote a support ticket which contained the F word (gasp) in response to a privacy issue with Steam.

They disabled my account over that F word (oh dear) and then asked me to apologise for the horrific word (the poor guy must have been out of work in post traumatic stress disorder) after which they would re-enable my account again. I did so but they have yet to enable my account.

In short, they stole the games that I paid for and am unable to access now, hence my boycotting of Valve and Steam enabled products in general.

Before this incident, I was VERY pro Steam. However I am now in favour of MORE REGULATION and safeguards in the gaming industry and gaming as a service industry so these kind of issues do not happen to other consumers in future.

Hello,

Please do not use profanity when contacting Steam Support.

Your Steam account has been temporarily disabled and will not be reactivated until we receive an apology for the content of your message.
After recieving the apology, I will be happy to look into the issue you are experiencing.

That was back in March this year.


They said temporary and would re-enable it after I apologised. They lied. It could happen to you and probably has happened more than people realise.

I recommend you 1) do not use Steam or 2) if you must use Steam, use a seperate account for EACH game you have on Steam just to prevent them doing the same.

.. my money until they fix my Steam account.

... Take Microsoft's money and run, hey its all money.

After all, that's why Bungie is in business. TO MAKE MONEY.

If they do split, they could end up making LESS money. Perhaps not a good business move.

"Everyone on this thread is acting as this was something new. I'm very puzzled. I owned countless notebooks over the past 10 years. Never has either NV or ATI supported their mobile chipsets"

Yes but they have drivers packed called "MOBILITY" which is targeting mobile users but they screw a lot of OEM's over in the MOBILE pack, go figure.

Given that gaming laptops are very powerful and outselling desktops


"The solution are of course the Omega Drivers (google them). "

Umm Omega drivers sometimes dont work with some game engines and end up rendering a black screen.

"My friend's laptop is running a driver from LAST YEAR because it's the latest driver for his nvidia card."


Lucky bastd. Im running drivers from the year they released this laptop. Which is a few years past. I would bite his arm off to run drivers from 1 year ago!

ATI intentionally block some Acer from their mobility chipsets telling us to go to the OEM but the OEM (Acer) doesn't release updates often if ever. Omega drivers sometimes screw up rendering on games. Blank screen sometimes on some chipsets. I used the patch to mod the drivers to support mobile but sometimes that doesn't work on some chipsets.

They screw over Acer mobile users.

My next mobile chipset is going to be NV because their drivers support more vendors.
