    @HyperLovingBun @valvesoftware @Steam The controller isn't effected by RAM price increases, so that shouldn't be an issue...

    @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

    @valvesoftware @Steam Yeah I'm not happy with Valve right now. I was there right on time. Every time I tried to push payment through the page gave a weird error. Next thing you know I check and it's sold out. They need to figure some sort of system out to fight off the bots to make it more fair.

    @NakiVT @Steam What's the problem? Sounds like it could be fun.

    @CharlieFlufboi @valvesoftware @Steam Yeah, looks like even people trying to buy it on Steam are running into errors and can’t purchase it lol

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck "That’s not demand, that’s a broken purchase system." Shut up Grok

    @Snowmobile2004 @Steam @OnDeck I'm glad it worked for you, but it looks like a lot of other people have the same issue and tried more times. The algorithm God blessed you

  • DalanarTV

    @valvesoftware @Steam I'll just be happy if it doesn't crash or freeze when I try to make my reservation

  • PoLiiQas

    @rvmpvq3 @CantAiim @Steam the problem is, you shouldn't NEED to use these workarounds considering that the games are still 20 dollars on sale

  • jfinkelstein
    Jeff Finkelstein (@jfinkelstein) reported

    @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.

  • greg_opera
    Gregory Opera (@greg_opera) reported

    @minkrov @Anaya_sharma876 @Steam The games themselves aren't the problem - most anticheat systems actually support Linux *natively* these days... The problem is that the developers behind many multiplayer games *choose* to blacklist Linux because they're anti-Linux. Also, they're a small part of the industry.

  • SgtMccray
    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?”

  • CapnSlipp
    Cap'n Slipp (@CapnSlipp) reported

    Dear @Steam, the useful Verification Code From E-mail feature in iOS/iPadOS doesn't work with e-mails from Steam. I believe this is because iOS only looks at the notification, not the whole e-mail. Please move the code further up (text-wise) in your e-mails to fix this. #UXBug

    @ThisOldGuy3 @Steam @grok I've never played. Is it good? I need a good game to fix my brain.

  • BarryTCks
    Barry Ticks (@BarryTCks) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam just a friendly tip for my favourite company of all time, due to the controller issue recently, limit the steam frame and machine 1 per household, and a similar process to the new controller protocol you just announced. To stop trolls. So we don’t miss out.

  • se7hix
    Sethix (@se7hix) reported

    So, additional work ahead of @Steam and @Steam_Support ahead regarding all software in their store, because if they are providing malware they will have serious trouble, this has happened before and if it continues happening valve is showing that's a platform no longer safe.

  • FancyMeatCPU
    DEVIOUS///DEVO (@FancyMeatCPU) reported

    @SubmarineTower @Steam I got the same error too.

  • IayaXcxcx0

    @valvesoftware @Steam When will it be back in stock I tried like 20 times to purchase it and I kept getting an error. 😭

    @Moonie__OS @Steam What's the problem? That's generally how it works

  • EldritchBoggart
    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.

  • EveilCharm
    EVEILCHARM (@EveilCharm) reported

    @ChibiReviews People should be losing their **** over the fact that payment processors wouldn't dare touch a game this big that will drag their asses to court if they tried to deny service. Wish @Steam would step up for the games on it's platform too.

  • GeorgeStep18720
    Stephanie George (@GeorgeStep18720) reported

    @OKarma_OK @Steam @Steam_Support Just a heads up MillerNerd1 can fix this.

  • PowPowPony
    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

  • SigmaTheFox
    Sigma The Fox (@SigmaTheFox) reported

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam clearing steam's download cache does not fix "games not starting" issues at all, ubisoft. it only deletes what is currently being downloaded... Why would a game that relies on your useless launcher not start because of a download happening on steam, when it's ready to play?

    Cobalt ಠ_ಠ Azurean (@CobaltAzurean) reported

    @PlayWarframe It's probably not you, it's probably the @Steam problems that got reported earlier

    @DaynglsGuides @valvesoftware @Steam I got this error and couldn't get it, and now its out of stock

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Fine for me. User error.
