Man you guys sound just as thick headed as the steam customer service reps.

I know you guys are SO concerned about steam having to break into their billions of profit dollars to make things right. But there are ways they could have resolved this without losing anything.

One thing steam has the power to do (i have seen it done multiple times before) is release the game from the players game list and transfer it to their "inventory" which it can then be traded.

Steam is not like wal-mart or bestbuy who has to submit an "annual product loss" sheet marking down all the products that were lost due to accidents, misplacement, or theft. Steam is the guy in charge or everything. They have complete 100% control over digital distribution. They simply provide the developers the money they made. In fact, steam is not even legally obligated to inform the developers of how many copies they have sold (but they usually do anyways)

So if steam can deem that a product is deemed worthy of being replaced, they have full jurisdiction to do that without even needing the developers consent. Steam is the boss.

And even if they did have to pay money out of their pocket would that be so outrageous? The customer is supposed to always be right and they would lose a lot more than 60 dollars if they lost me as a customer

Thanks for your support guys, i am so glad you would rather see me out 60 dollars than steam

I just would like to play the game i spent 60 dollars on, I don't usually spend 60 dollars on video games and that is a pretty big deal for me to do that

i really don't care about steams business practices, history, or morals. And i really couldn't care less about them losing money.

Its called "customer service" to service customers. Not "profit defense squad"

Yeah but i am very long term customer that has never asked for help before. I just feel insulted by steam

How? My friend even sent them an email confirming that it was a mistake. He has played the game zero minutes. If they look they can see the purchase was made with MY credit card.

How am i scamming a free game that i paid 60 dollars for? All i am asking is that they remove it from the wrong account and put it on the correct one.

Been really mad about my recent communication with steam over the past few months. They just never seem to want to help me.

Please just help me one time. Long term custromer.

I have spent over $2500 on my steam account and i have been using steam since i was a little kid. I owned steam back when it just supported counter strike and half life..I have never asked you for help before. I find it very disrespectful that you constantly respond to me with the same statement "That is against the terms of service"..

Here is my problem.

I have purchased 460 games on steam without any issues before. And only this one single time i have i made an honest mistake. I purchased arma 3 without realizing that my steam client was signed into a friends account logged into my computer. It was an honest mistake that i laughed off at first because i was sure that steam customer support would help me. you can even see that the purchase made on that account was from my own credit card. My friend has also sent steam a customer service ticket to confirm that it really was a mistake. You can even see on his account that he has not installed the game or played it for a single minute.

Now i can't even play the game i paid for.

Please just help me for once. It was an honest mistake. This is my third support ticket regarding this issue, Please do not force me to send any more future emails.

My primary account name is ****** password ********* and i paid $60 for arma3. I would like to play it on my primary account. The account i accidentally purchased arma3 on is ********* and he will confirm it was a mistake, you can see he has not even played it for a single minute.

Hello Daniel,

Thank you for contacting Steam Support.

We apologize for the delay.

While games cannot be moved between accounts and accounts cannot be merged, Steam’s Family Library Sharing allows family members and their guests to share access to their games. This feature can also be used to access your own games which were purchased or activated on a different Steam account. Please click the link below for more details on how Family Sharing works:

I have never used sharing service and i do not plan to share my own game with myself.

I paid for the game arma3. You can even see on the account in question that i purchased arma3 with the same payment method as the payment method i have used for my 450+ steam games.

And you say cant switch games between accounts? One time i called origin (They actually have a phone number with real people on the other line) and i had a similar issue with crysis2 being redeemed to a wrong account. Guess what they did for me? They added an ADDITIONAL crysis2 copy to my other account without even removing the old one. They went above and beyond the call of duty to satisfy a loyal customers needs.

What have you ever done for me? Nothing. I've literally spend thousands of dollars.

Do you see what you are making your customers do? Do you think i enjoy writing these e-mails to you on my day off?

"You will receive no further correspondence regarding this matter" Who says that to a customer? Wow.

I have been using steam since you could download custom interface skins for it, back when the only games were half life and counterstrike. I own a shirt with a steam logo on it that i would wear every day to school. I am 24 now. I still have the shirt.

How many thousands of dollars do i have to spend before you help me once? You have never helped me before.

You are suggesting that i enable family sharing? That is the most unprofessional and insulting thing i have ever heard.

As a software developer myself i am well aware that you have the capabilities of correcting this situation in a number of ways.. Please make this right

The irony is that despite all the low res textures, the game does not run very well either

Hmm strange, thanks for the fast responses i guess i can stop obsessively tweaking now. Definitely strikes me as odd..

It's just funny because i was playing 12yr old morrowind and i noticed that even some of the tree textures in that game looked better than some of the textures in wolfenstein

I have the steam version of wolfenstein the new order

I have everything in wolfenstein new order set to maxxed as well as 64ppf texture loading setting and video cache size set to ultra.

And i also have 16gb system ram, 3gb video card ram, and a 256gb samsung 840pro SSD drive so textures stream just fine on my pc.

For a 2014 game i just was wondering what the heck is with the low resolution wolfenstein textures? Am i doing something wrong?
