@Steam How is it that Steam is never able to handle the load of people for things like this? Steam shouldn't bug out or crash every single time the summer sale or something like this happens

@Steam Ngl this is the shittiest time I have had trying to pre-order a new console. Constant errors and now I have to wait bc u think I am "attempting a lot of purchases" when I just want one damn thing. They will be gone by the time u let me make the ******* purchase.

@Steam Hit refresh at noon waiting. Get an error on processing. Keep trying. LOCKED OUT FOR TOO MANY PURCHASES?!? I haven't made any! Unjust, unfair, just awful. "It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours. Please wait a while before trying again."

Thanks @Steam.... I've been trying to reserve the SteamDeck since exactly 10:00AM PDT, and 16 minutes later I've had nothing but 403 errors and multiple errors trying to purchase both with paypal and credit card until I get blocked from buying anything. Great launch...
