    @Steam I remember going to the bathroom at 9:59am thinking to myself that this multi-billion dollar company won't have issues with pre-reservations...I should've never rushed that moment on the porcelain throne.

  • FlameVendetta Hustling Kitty (@FlameVendetta) reported

    @Steam you need to fire you engineers, for a gaming platform to glitch out during high traffic. what u gonna do when you add all these consoles to the network? was gonna buy but after what happen at the website. Totally lost confidence in steam.

  • niami Covert Alexis (@niami) reported

    @Steam i'm attempting to reserve the steam deck but it's not working and now it's telling me that I'm "It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours. Please wait a while before trying again." Am I going to be missing out on purchasing this?

  • Apollo2203 William Ericson (@Apollo2203) reported

    @Steam fix your website

  • DarkholderMedia Darkholder (@DarkholderMedia) reported

    @Steam It would be nice if ordering actually worked and wasn't throwing continuous errors.

  • TizzeeDesigns Tizzee Designs (@TizzeeDesigns) reported

    @Steam Would be nice if there werent system issues keeping me from reserving.

    @MrWhoShotYaTv @Steam Same problem for me

  • Kmshah96 Kishan Shah (@Kmshah96) reported

    @Steam One question.....when are you going to fix your website!!!!!

  • Ide4lTwT Lance (@Ide4lTwT) reported

    @Steam So funny how people expecting the site to not crash right when it goes live. Yall the same folks who give products a 1 star out of 5 because you couldn't get one. Relax guys, there's plenty of time to reserve.

  • RC2K7 RC2K7 (@RC2K7) reported

    @Steam Ha broke while entering CC Security xD "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance."

  • LeeMHulme Lee Hulme (@LeeMHulme) reported

    @alexandertyler @Steam Same. Fix this, Steam!

  • dmusicstud Brandon Danner (@dmusicstud) reported

    @Steam I have an account for years, and your services tell me my account is too new to preorder a SteamDeck? Seems silly. I realize you want combat resellers, but I bought a game within the last year, and certainly prior to 6/1/2021 - it was last year. Fix this!

  • simonvc Simon Vans-Colina (@simonvc) reported

    Steam has absolutely melted. i got as far as clicking the buy button but it just says "working" and then 500 error @Steam

  • Sup3rINFAMOUS Aj Keeton (@Sup3rINFAMOUS) reported

  • strife37916 Chef Str1fe🔪 (@strife37916) reported

    @Steam Good thing your service crashed and I can't reserve it. Would love one company to release something that isn't completely jacked at go

  • s_laplante6791 Sean LaPlante (@s_laplante6791) reported

  • Dave3of5 David Kolosowski (@Dave3of5) reported
