    @Steam which of course counts against me on purchase attempts and i'll eventually just get another error. maybe i'll just wait for the hardware to be on sale 2 years after it comes out. Assuming this doesn't go the way of the Steam Box and just gets killed off like a google project.

    @LastHazzerd @Steam Just keep trying, I got mine and I was getting that error.

    @ItsElectric @Steam Yeah, I keep hitting it but it keeps giving me the "you've been trying to make a lot of purchases" error.

    Gwydion_Wolf (@Gwydion_Wolf) reported

    Aaaaand got mine reserved. 🥳🥳🥳 That was a really weird error message though @Steam . I'm use to seeing time-out errors, or system buisy errors, but what was up with that one? Was it some new system you folks were trying out to counter the Scalper asshats? (1/2)

  • gruz7777
    Marvin (@gruz7777) reported

    @DonnieDarkoDevs @Steam When this happened, I got an email saying there was an error with my purchase

    Lex, Queen of the Dorks (@ShojoTea) reported

    And then they solft lock me because their system crashed trying to process the transaction too many times. @Steam, fix your ****!

    Dallin Wright (@dallinwright01) reported

    @Steam Yo you fix the preorders yet by adding something as basic and simple as a captcha? It really isn't that hard to thwart bots.

  • EvolvrKent
    Kent Murray (@EvolvrKent) reported

    @cammyladd_ @Steam I wasted a whole afternoon on it, talking with mates, preparing etc…..then after all of that, I get sent through millions of error pages and **** messages. Yeah they can suck it!

  • JGelvar
    Jake Gelvar (@JGelvar) reported

    @Protostar @Steam I just got to a purchase screen after getting both the transaction and too many attempts errors. I just kept spamming continue on the enter your payment info screen and it eventually let me through? I got an email with my receipt at any rate. So maybe just keep hitting continue.

  • Clumsy_G
    Ji Jacob Jun (@Clumsy_G) reported

    @Steam Yo to all the people getting the "Too many purchases" error, keep trying. Mine eventually went through!!

  • SarahBlandyVO
    Sarah Blandy (@SarahBlandyVO) reported

    @Yeoden @Steam The site won't let me login, the account recovery system is broken, and I'll miss my ability to pay them $5 to even have the ability to give them hundreds later. Makes me sad that I can't even log into my account I've had for a long time to give them money. Ah well.

  • JoeAAlonzo
    Joe Alonzo (@JoeAAlonzo) reported from Destin, Florida

    @Loliconica @Steam Same. I keep getting that and “there seems to be an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again”

  • THEBOSTONVERSE
    Shane Dwyer (@THEBOSTONVERSE) reported

    @Steam Guys I think the “too many purchases” error can expire after 30-40 min. Managed to snag one after getting that error for about that long.

  • Strahdd
    Mike Pendergrass (@Strahdd) reported
