When you try to reserve a @Steam Deck and they tell you "There was a problem initializing your purchase please try again" and then tell you "You've tried to make too many purchases recently try again later" :(

@threatresearch @Steam i think the issue is they are allowing Streamers and pro players to get the first orders. "New accounts will be able to make reservations 7-18-21" I about to change my mind and just not get one

@MWK_Vince @JustinRoiland @Steam Yeah, pretty much. I put wallet credit in an hour ahead of time and was ready with two pages open when 12 hit. Went with whichever one got through first, but got stuck on the "Payment Method" page with a bunch of submission errors, now I'm locked out. Frustrating.

@Steam Kept getting an error initializing the purchase that eventually led to the “you’ve been trying to purchase too many times” problem. I just want to preorder 😭

.@Steam do you mind addressing the issue with #SteamDeck reservations..? Let the people know what you’re going to do about your “too many purchase attempts” flaw? Offer an appeasement to those who tried but were letdown by your inability to manage orders?

@Steam I got all of the above errors, yet another botched pre order/ reservation! Can't get anything normally nowadays!

@Steam There is nothing on there about getting an error code for desperately “attempting” to complete my purchase..

So @Steam, can you all guarantee those of us who have the reservation in our carts that we will be able to order Steam Decks in December 2021, when your stores get back up and we can confirm the reservation payment? I think it's only fair from a customer service standpoint

@Steam You already have my $5. I just want you to take the $5 you already have, and apply it to a preorder ticket. This is all on your side of the servers, but the system is treating me like I'm doing something wrong. Now it thinks I've tried too many times, when it was never my issue.

@Steam great job. Still only bots and scalpers. No way to go through. Wanted to buy the 512 and error after error. Now an error that locked me out because of "too many purchases" wow. I didn't even get to order 1.

@RottyNTeaks @Steam I have the thing ready and it wouldn't take my card or my paypal. Just gave me an error??? Are you serious right now? I had it in my cart ready to go this is TOTAL BS

Wow @Steam has full-on broken under the deluge of preorders for Steam Deck. Steam os saying my account is too new to preorder a Deck; even though I’ve been using this account for … god, I don’t even know how long …

@Steam I'm sorry to hear everyone's having so much trouble. Don't give up, and I hope you get yours reserved soon!

@Steam Couldn't log in for 15 min, finally login and it says cannot process transaction for some reason. After a few attempts now it says I cannot make the purchase because I made to many attempts. Now I probably won't be able to get one...

@Steam Why in God's name is there a block on attempts when you know damn well your site would error out under load? Total incompetence.

@SparklingCactus @Steam Yeah I got a few different errors like initializing payment. Eventually it just locked to the “a lot of purchases” error because the order went through and didn’t tell me. Keep trying!

@Sentios @backlon @Steam I've got the same problem going on with mine. Maybe if we're lucky Valve will give us mercy and we can order later
