@Steam Abysmal. Attempted to purchase and site keeps giving errors or says there are problems when I attempt to pay with the same info I’ve used to purchase games for years. Now says I’ve been attempting too much and has locked me out. Botched launch, yet again.

@Steam feels completely unprepared this morning. Added my deck to my cart then had 9 errors before moving to card purchase stage. Now system says error initializing or updating transaction. They seem overwhelmed by the traffic and for a streaming company that’s unacceptable
