    @MatthewJPipoly @valvesoftware @Steam It wasn't sold out with that error. The servers were slammed. If you were smart, you would have kept hitting refresh until you got in.

    @Steam @Steam_Support I’ve been trying to checkout the steam controller since it went live keep getting an error and now it’s sold out? I should’ve been able to purchase at 10am pct when I put it in my cart

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Listen I had the same issue but if your gonna complain don’t use ai to ******* do it

  • MikeTriceratops
    Michael (@MikeTriceratops) reported

    @smith_rust @valvesoftware @Steam Anybody that actually pays them those prices and rewards them for their scummy selfish behavior is only perpetuating the issue and encouraging them to continue scalping. Out of principle, I will wait however long I need to in order to purchase directly from Valve.

    @greg_opera @Anaya_sharma876 @Steam Yeah, but some very popular multiplayer games I've heard are not compatible with Linux, so I was suggesting that AI could solve that problem yk?

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam This is bullshit and you know it. It is your broken launcher failing. Get rid of uplay. Nobody uses it anyway unless they are forced to

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Have u try to disconnect your PC from internet for a day, then try run Steam and play games there.

  • ThorneAbrams
    Thorne (@ThorneAbrams) reported

    @AntiFurVoreGore @valvesoftware @Steam "Fairness" isn't getting special treatment because you've been a user for a long time. It’s everyone having the same 1-unit limit so the scalpers you’re complaining about can’t drain the stock. You’re asking to be part of the problem.

    I've been playing Remember Me on @Steam and my PC is more capable of playing the game. In fact, it exceeds the specs for modern games, yet it struggles to play #rememberme. The #SteamDeck on the other hand has no issue whatsoever. Weird!

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck I was able to get through the error message and purchase it.

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Fix your launcher, it sucks, or better, let us open the games directly from steam without having to see that mess you call launcher

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck That is a broken system. Valve knows the base, how you not ganna make enough.... Wut.

    @Steam Dear Steam Support, I have been trying to resolve an issue with my account for over a month now. Despite contacting your online support multiple times, I keep receiving a message that my account is tied to a sanctioned country.

  • AzureCrux

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Payment processors have rate limits, chief. Too many people wanted controllers at once. Every platform exclusive has this problem, it's frustrating as heck.

    @nobullet4u @Steam no problem 🙏

    @valvesoftware @Steam "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance." :(

  • Kyvlash
    Kyvlash (@Kyvlash) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam I’m fine with a reservation system. But this is honestly ridiculous. This is a controller, not a Console. There is no Pandemic. This is normal Supply/Demand. And limiting customers to one reservation is a little silly imo. The demand for the Steam Controller exists, but it’s not going to rival its Console competitors. The outrage is mostly due to the payment system failures rather than people raging out about a non-existent scalper problem.

  • Lucoa_Star65

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Here's an easy solution: Delete your ****** DRM Launcher from existence. That will solve the problem.

    @valvesoftware @Steam fix vac, it's false banning people 24/7 but not banning people with very famous pellix

  • isthatvark
    TheVark (@isthatvark) reported

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Had this issue as well, truly unfortunate they didn't let cart holders hold onto their spot. This error eventually went away after 30-40 mins, and just got a sold out notification at check out. truly cooked.

  • virhillyo
    virhillyo (@virhillyo) reported

    @Steam @Steam_Support @OnDeck hey valve, I was wondering if someone can help me with an issue I have with my Steam Deck? My deck won’t go into sleep mode if I press the power button and I have to do it through the steam button which is a bit tedious. Would appreciate any help :)

    @yorksoriginal @Steam Doesn't it fix itself once you close the game?
