    @Steam too bad I can't buy the game. Why don't you guys fix your system? Why don't you guys respond to these issues? Now you've put a block on my account because you keep erroring out, and I've "tried too many times". Nice job, Steam. Very nice job.

    @Steam So found a stupid work around for people being locked out for "Too many purchase attemps" Make a new steam account, add your self, and then gift yourself it. Works instantly and theres no errors.

  • Froundlol Fround (@Froundlol) reported

    @Lucifer6six6 @Steam its almost like 200k people buying a game at the same time will cause server problems.

  • ElizabethaDrac Elizabetha (@ElizabethaDrac) reported

    @ReAnimateHer_ @Steam @EndNightGame Hi hunni my son is having a problem trying to get this game as well, he has tried a number of times and then he asked me to try for him, both times Steam is refusing to take payment saying it's unacceptable. And to try another form of payment. So yer unsuccessful here as well.

  • AssistantForest TheForestAssistantApp (@AssistantForest) reported

    @Steam You shouldn’t be timing out purchase attempts when we’ve been retrying because of your server issues. How long do I have to wait before trying again???

  • sgilbert8282 Skyler gilbert (@sgilbert8282) reported

    @Steam Took the money out of my account, but Steam says it’s still waiting on receiving funds? Never had this issue until today 🙄🙄

  • HazelynnRL 🧚🏾‍♀️ Hazelynn - IRL Fantasy Char🧜🏾‍♀️ (@HazelynnRL) reported

    @cptadderall @Steam My purchase wasn't even going through for a moment. It said it was in my cart, but when I would try to access my cart, it was loading slow and then would say my cart had an error, then sent me back to store main. I finally got the game I wanted but it was taking a good moment.
