Steam used to work and I was also able to play games, but now when I start steam the terminal output just says

> steam           
Couldn't find dpkg, please update steamdeps for your distribution.
Running Steam on fedora 25 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1454620878)

and nothing happens. Any ideas?

Are you using Fedora Rawhide with Steam?? hahaha; sorry but Steam requires old dependencies... Remember Steam was built for Ubuntu and if a dependency is missed; It run a automatic script "ubuntu"... and try install example mesa, alsa

the messages says it all, you're training to run steam for Ubuntu or debian derivate in a fedora system, because fedora doesn't support dpkg pakages, try to download steam for specific fedora distribution if there are any...

regards.,

Note : how-to-install-steam-on-fedora, if you are runing fedora 23 use dnf instead of yum...
