Steam is incredibly good at returning hacked accounts. A personal experience of mine: I was hanging with a friend and it turned out he had clicked a disguised link that led to his account being hacked. He got that account back before the day was over with, and without many issues other than a single game ban (that he just hasn't bothered to see about getting lifted)
In my sleep-deprived stupor in August of 2021, I fell for the 'I accidentally reported your account' scam and lost my account. I reported it to Steam and woke up in the morning, and they had my account back with a temporary password in my email address. The ticket was submitted at 9:19pm, and the recovery password came at 5:16am. That's just shy of eight hours. In a world where every other support team can take days, weeks, or not even help you at all, Valve returned my account in eight hours.
1 million dollars and they give it to some Joe nobody knows as a prize for an event nobody cares about instead of investing any of it to better their platform or staff.
The one time I dealt with Roblox support, it became abundantly clear it was easier to just create a new account. That company is worse than mobile companies.
For real. It’s been a few years since I lost my account but it was 10+ years old. They asked me for the first god damn code I redeemed for Robux, and that’s that.
Bro I had the hardest time with Roblox support the one time I needed. Way back in like 2016 I won a very expensive limited that was worth a good amount. Someone scammed and traded it off my account. I emailed Roblox explaining what happened. I had an issue with the fact that my first email I used on my account was some AOL that I made when I was little and I stopped using it. I had forgotten the password and couldn't access it and it took forever to explain to Roblox that I couldn't use that email. Eventually however I was able to get my limited restored but I had no faith that it was gonna happen until it did.
