james (@radojames99) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Sucks you were able to let me put in money no problem, but let the scalpers buy everything.
-
that guy (@danny_mcnasty) reported@smith_rust @valvesoftware @Steam While I hate scalpers, and they were no doubt part of the problem by being apart of the server load, it's not their fault I couldn't purchase one. I had it in my cart at 10:00 PT, immediately went to checkout, and was never able to complete the purchase. My error message didn't change from "error initializing your transaction" to "items in your cart are out of stock" for 40 minutes. This is on Valve and their backend not being able to handle the purchasing traffic. I just hope they're able to identify the issues and make updates so this doesn't happen again in the next batch, the Steam Box, or the Frame

Herman G. Krueger (@HermanKrue10077) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Bro, is this a late April fool? You have perhaps one of the shittiest launchers ever made in pc history. Every ******* time I open Uplay I have to resyinc some **** or login again. Just do yourself a favour, close that Cloaca Maxima and bring your games on Steam already.
-
PoLiiQa (@PoLiiQas) reported@rvmpvq3 @CantAiim @Steam the problem is, you shouldn't NEED to use these workarounds considering that the games are still 20 dollars on sale
-
Taco Man (@TacoMaestro_) reported@ajshpprd @Steam Same here. I even preloaded my steam wallet to try to avoid any issues
-
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.

mr orange (@streamingdeluxe) reported@Tyretes @valvesoftware @Steam Not helpi g with error

ThisOldGuy 🤘🎸🎮 (@ThisOldGuy3) reported@shivachettri @Steam No problem, I am happy to be able to do these.
-
Jeremy Wood (@excitedpixels) reported@Steam @Steam_Support do you have a random shipment generator for orders as it seems you are shipping the steam controllers randomly. I ordered at 57 just before, and my wife's at 18 past because you were broken for her. It's Def not in any kind of order which seems unfair. :(

Vinnie2004 (@Vinnie20041) reported@Steam Fix steam support Pretty Pretty Please, I need to refund four sims packs.

Samuel Williams (@SamuelWill64467) reported@OKarma_OK @Steam @Steam_Support I had this issue and ADCGSECURE took care of it.
-
Cuprumator 🇺🇦 (@Cuprumator) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Dudes, fix payment in Europe. I cant proceed with my purchase
-
GoodStuffPuff (@PowPowPony) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Just make it so your games can be played directly through steam and these problems would cease to exist for people, your launcher IS the problem
-
Josue Roberto (@rsencion) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Guys, seriously! what do you have against mexicans? Mexico is like right frikking there! right there, and still you wont ship to this frikking country. 😭 what is you problem? you ship to frikking Canada! for christ sakes 🙄

AnimeKing18 (@King18Anime) reported@Pirat_Nation I love the @Steam support team. Out of all of them Steam support was always there to help and always found a solution to a problem no matter if it's hardware or software. The last time I had to contact Steam support was with a out of warranty Index Controller. They were out of stock at the time and I wanted to see how much they would charge to fix it. After some troubleshooting steps they offered to replace the controller for free (and this was around 2 to 3 months out of warranty). For me I'll buy from Valve before I buy from anyone else, I'm looking forward to the Steam Controller and Steam Frame. @valvesoftware

Glorious Kev (@GloriousKev) reported@itsunforgiven @valvesoftware @Steam couldn't get one? skill issue

KV12 (@KnightVision12) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck “That’s not demand, that’s a broken purchase system.” ok clanker
-
Eldritch Boggart (@EldritchBoggart) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Fix your system, given that everyone was getting a transaction error, this has to be one of the biggest console hardware launch debacles in the last decade. Guess people who wanted one are out of luck because you can't handle payment transactions properly during a blitz.
-
Alec (@SavageRedCrow) reported@valvesoftware @Steam I'm glad to hear you guys put some restrictions on the reservation. i hope the steam frame and machine have the same. to be clear i did get a controller during that first round, i could have used 2 but out of fairness i only ordered 1 to let others have a chance. while i literally waited "a min" before trying again i looked at X and saw everyone was having a problem and that spamming worked. i mean it wasn't just like clicking when the button reappeared, i spammed the hell outta that screen for like 10 min.
-
Rennette 🐘 (@CodenameTHO) reported@UbisoftSupport @Steam Yeah, because Steam is totally the issue you prat.

Alex Stanger (@alexstanger1993) reportedCan someone please tell me how to deal with a @Steam update glitch? I've been stuck with one for @TheSims 4 for a while (probably on and off for most of the time since I last played in April 2023), so your help would be appreciated 🎮
-
Frank🇺🇸 (@C50_FC) reported@fr33thytweaks @Steam If the problem is the hardware, a firmware update isn’t gonna change anything lol
-
Red Sox Royal Rooter (@RoyalRooterSox) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Unable to buy due to errors for 20+ minutes, then it sold out. Crazy.
-
Billy Exeter (@SgtMccray) reported@MrKillevrything @GooningOnRumble @Steam Now THAT is saying something. If MKE has many gifted games and has never run into the issue…I don’t know. But I can’t wait for all the stupid suggestions like “Did you check the router?”
-
Adam Orand (@King_INF3RN0) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Only took 50 minutes of spamming the continue button. Maybe some launch-day payment processing server allocation? Monday at noon pacific is a low time for gaming, might as well, right? Gonna need to fix this for the Machine and Frame...
-
mpampis_ (@paponis) reported@Steam Can you explain to me why you ******* change my ps4 controller to xbox buttons? I'm frustrated a lot with this **** I hate xbox, I ain't learning the buttons from the start fix that ****
