@Steam I had the SAME "too many attempts" too. Just sit and wait about 20 minutes (I know it's hard) and then try again. I got the other error instead, but it stopped doing the "attempts" error. I waited one minute between each try and it did eventually go through. Good Luck!!!

@Steam Yeah, I have a few questions. Like, how were you this underprepared for your process? It's simply terrible, and a bad look for your company. Fix this

@CyedonNL @Steam I was having the same issue. After about 20 minutes I tried it again and it just worked for me.

I expected @Steam to have some issues with selling the #SteamDeck, but this is ridiculous. This is not a problem like GPUs or Consoles or other hardware sold across many stores. This is one device, per account, through a single storefront. And you lock people out

@Steam Ah yes. The classic locking people out of their reservation with zero explanation or a quick fix. Guess we get to wait an indeterminate amount of time and potentially get ours months later now. Thanks Volvo.

@Steam Anyway you can use your logs to fix queue placement for all of us who just tried to pay and now got locked out for a lot of purchases

@Steam got mine to go thru just a minute ago after like 30 minutes and 10 error messages, by the 5th one or so i decided to let it sit for a bit between attempts to see if that let servers unclog. and hey, while this is a weird+clunky system, at least its helping prevent scalpers?

@steam server issues made it stutter and refuse to let me put in a reserve for a steam deck, now it's telling me I tried too many times? Because your system failed? Can this get fixed so I can give you my money?

@derchris @Steam Oh you have problems too. My account is locked out because they wrote their website so poorly that failed transaction count into the maximum # of orders per hour.

@Steam How long is "a while" anyway? If it's in my cart, am I good? Can you respond to people having issues? Of course you can't, why am I even asking.

@Steam are you ******* kidding me right now!?!?!? Got the “attempting to make too many purchases” bullshit and now the reservation button is grayed out with order availability in Q1!? It’s in my cart and I can’t even pay for it! I’m beyond frustrated! Fix this for us!

I am smartly avoiding all the @steam Deck pre-order issues by simply not being able to afford one

@AustinCreedWins @Steam I guess I was lucky to grab one. I’m looking in search and all I see is people having the same issue your having. Hopefully that gets fixed soon.
