Steam support should not send me here to get my suggestion.
I was send here after discovering a bug with no sound with bluetooth devices on the Half life 2 Deathmatch game. I told support they should consider the fix for me and the rest who could have it, instead they send me here so the suggestion would be buried here, never to be read. Do they think someone should have to vote or comment an issue in order for the Devs to fix an existing problem? Nuts!

Edit: Spelling

Feedback to the Valve:
Please volvo support your games or drop the option for support, ey? /s
- Better organisation, where the support agents would bother to replicate their user's problem.
- A ticket escalation instead or Can't help you.
- The agents should do a genuine effort to help the user. Some users are not tech savvy, a good written articles should pop up while the user is writing their question, in case this is a common issue or already solved from another ticket before.
- The modern hardware should be regularly tested for compatibility. For example with X card is not yet driver ready with Half-Life, this should be stated before the user buys or install a game.
- And of course no sending for red herrings, why I'm here? Because Steam support told me to come here...

Support = To help people, not to take feedback.

They send you here because it's not their job to handle any suggestions.

Good answer, but first they didn't help solve the problem. From the very start they give me the boilerplate answer to avoid helping me. Second I isolated the issue and I told them under what condition is triggered and that they should consider a fix.

In normal companies with support teams and dev teams there is a thing called a "ticket system". For example I use to work in a company with Atlassian products, so even if the support team can fix it, the ticket can be escalated or another "issue"/ Work item can be created with a link to the original ticket to the dev team Backlog, so the issue can be fixed at some point (maybe under the lowest possible priority).

The steam support sending me here, is them trying to make me think they would do something, while there is countless spam here and none is considered unless is popular.

Steam support is for Steam. Account issues, billing issues, etc. They don't do game support. So...

you need to post your problem with the client in the steam beta forums

https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/groups/SteamClientBeta/discussions/

that is where there is actual steam/vlave employees that are working on the client

as has been said

support is there for billing and account issues

help paying for a product, returns, not being able to sign in and the like

Not sure which "Steam" , Valve, Game or else support is. But from my Steam library - select game - on the game I click on Support tab and - there I have an option to pick what problem I have and to describe my problem. Whoever responded for sure is a "support" for that product.

Do I need to chase any other support team?

There is no support place that is meant for 'taking suggestions'

They are there to fix problems. "Suggestions" are not what they are meant to intake.

So yes they are redirecting you to the correct place, because, Support is not where Steam aggregates or looks for suggestions to the platform.

But the problem is that are not willing to fix or provide me with proper support. Their goal is to say something like there many hardware configurations, can't help, leave us alone if possible

So instead of doing the proper procedure - Try to replicate the problem - if exist - create a internal ticket to Developers to fix the problem - inform the customer when fixed in order to test.
That's the correct way to do it. Steam instead tells me to come here and to write exactly what I have written in my support request. Why? They can collect the support info, summarize and send to those who can "consider" a "suggestion" that is actual bug that is unconfirmed.
suggestion might be to not listen to steam support and just keep opening tickets until you reach a real person who is sympathetic to your plight and not a redundant and unhelpful automated "we looked and its applied correctly" However why it was applied was in question and was overlooked , Redundant Support Bots putting you back in the loop for what could be 48 hours.

Steam Support are not game devs.

They cannot help you with yours or someone else's game development.

Account issues such as billing issues and account login issues (recovery of a highjacked account.).
They do not help with anything else.

When Support sends you to the general forums, that is their way of politely telling you to leave them alone and stop bothering them with something they don't handle.

Sounds like an excellent way to get support to restrict you. Yeah spam them.

It's beyond obvious that OP is yelling up the wrong tree. Not sure what you're trying to do here.

Nothing. Just like Steam, Valve or whoever is their support team.
1. Pointing out there is some flaws in their Valve publisher games
2. Pointing out that I should not be send here to ask for a fix of an issue, that should be handled internally. I literally did what support told me. I came here to ask for a Sound bug to be fixed for cry out loud /s.

If the button says "I still have questions about my purchase", you're not contacting the game developers, you're contacting the store. The store can't do anything about a bug in the game.

And Support does not handle game issues.
Go to that games forum and post there.
Or go to that games website and use their bug report system there if they have that.
You are demanding support do something they cannot do.

Steam support is handling games issues of the games Valve published. If I go to game published by someone else I would get as you wrote, a proper place for that support I seek. For example if the problem was getting the game downloaded, then perhaps is Steam who is handling that particular issue.

When I ask for support of the Orange box games I purchased, I follow the game info written on the library page for that particular title and IT DID NOT TELL TO GO TO A FORUM, I raised my support ticket as their internal system is organized to do so. I did everything right as per user of Steam and owner of the Orange Box Half-life 2 Deathmatch.

If Steam support thinks they are not the appropriate entity for this type of request, then the right action is to be informed as so. I did everything right. My feedback is valid. I hope some of the staff get my feedback and improve the Steam and game support for everyone as I only seek general improvement for everyone. I can play the game I have problem with on my old crappy headset instead of my fancy wireless one, I don't care.

when you asked steam support about a purchase

they were able to help you because that is their job

they help with account access issues and billing

it would not have mattered if it were another pub/dev

if you have problems with the client,

the proper spot is the beta forums

seems counter intuitive,

but that is where they want those posts whether they are beta related or not

if it is with a specific game,

you post in the games forum

that is how steam has handled this for as long as i have been here

and just an fyi

we are users like you

steam mods/devs do not post here unless they are closing a thread

they do respond in the beta section if they have any input on the situation, however

and the game's devs will (hopefully) respond in their forum
