  • leemstradamus Saleem Hodge (@leemstradamus) reported

  • Turbokill6 Bassic Gamer (@Turbokill6) reported

    @Andy4Life @Steam Both had this issue

  • EricDaCoder Eric Da Coder (@EricDaCoder) reported

    @Steam By open do you mean not open due to not being able to handle the capacity in shape or form giving us an error about trying again "later" but not specifying what later actually means? Is that what you mean?

  • ElJizzle ElJizzle (@ElJizzle) reported

    @TastyPCTV @Steam I am still trying :( i am getting the too many attempts error. lol

  • glennthompson88 Glenn T. (@glennthompson88) reported

    @Steam kept getting an error "setting up my transaction" trying to deposit on the steam deck....now its telling me I'm trying to make too many purchases and I need to wait...uhh help?

  • DevourIsDead Maybe: Stupid (@DevourIsDead) reported

    @JustinRoiland @Steam I got that also, yet I see people in the hastag say they refreshed and spammed the button like 18 times and got it no problem…really confusing tbh.

  • Omega_kraken Omega (@Omega_kraken) reported

    @Steam @Steam fix your ****. I shouldn't be told that I've been making too many purchases when I cant even reserve this console. Yall should've been prepared for this.

  • Drakonite Jeffrey (@Drakonite) reported

    @Steam It looks like you've been giving a lot of errors in the last few hours. Please wait a while before being broken again.

  • Freekie Freekie (@Freekie) reported

    I find it extremely puzzling that in 2021 we still have issues with not enough server capacity for people trying preorder/reservation upcoming products. Did @Steam not learning anything from the @nvidia fiasco last year?

  • slkimbler Steven Kimbler (@slkimbler) reported

    @Steam everything sold out? also got an error saying my account is too new, but its 11 years old.

  • aramova Thomas Burnham (@aramova) reported

    @Steam so your store breaks during checkout saying Error Initializing, then it says 'looks like you've made a lot of purchases wait a few hours'. Get your **** together.

  • IamJeffsLiver Jeff Ramos (@IamJeffsLiver) reported

    @Steam I got my Steam Deck reserved no issues, 512 GB model, right at 10:00 PDT. Now the excruciating wait until release.....

  • SolemnSunday Solemn Sunday (@SolemnSunday) reported

    @JustinRoiland @Steam I had this and still got my reservation. I messaged support specifically under the Steam Deck tag and said I had that error. I don't know if that fixed it, or the error is faulty!

  • lucasMulherin Luc-*** (@lucasMulherin) reported

    Tried to reserve a Steam Deck at 10am on the dot. kept getting errors when trying to purchase. And now it just says I've been attempting a lot of purchases and need to wait... @Steam I understand the servers are overloaded. But its pretty frustrating after waiting all morning 🤨

  • Hasselpoof Hasselpoof (@Hasselpoof) reported

    @Steam year 2021 still unable to ship globaly, can ship to england, sweden, denmark and finland, but norway that are in the middle of all of them they cant??????? and they have a warehouse in netherlands which is just south-west of denmark, what is the issue?????

  • ImOctent Octent (@ImOctent) reported

  • adamcpenny Adam Penny (@adamcpenny) reported

    @Steam Good luck. I tried to buy, got an error message, refreshed the page and apparently that was "a lot of purchases in the last few hours" so now I'm stuck.

  • BordenPears33 Sarah Lynn (@BordenPears33) reported

    @stephenguise @Steam Same. So frustrated right now. Kept getting am error whenever I hit checkout. And what's 'a while'... how long exactly?

  • ryan_maurizzio GM_Turtle (@ryan_maurizzio) reported

    Thanks a lot @valvesoftware @Steam tried to reserve a Steam Deck 2 times, got 2 error messages and now I get the message "it looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours. Please wait before trying again." And I cant reserve. WTF

  • ItsAdamBurman AdamB (@ItsAdamBurman) reported

    @GloriousKev @valvesoftware @Steam It's a glitch, you need to refresh a couple times. With how many people are trying to snag a preorder, the website is shitting itself

  • Jimtheretrogamr Jim The Retro Gamer (@Jimtheretrogamr) reported
