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

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam @UbisoftSupport the source of the problem is ur own goddamn launcher and not steam so don't spread misinformation .

  • Powercheif

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

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

    @SubmarineTower @Steam I got the same error too.

  • RGB_MIDAS
    hombo (@RGB_MIDAS) reported

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Actually the issue usually lies within your launcher and not Steam's. There is absolutely no reason why I need to enter my password every time for *some* games but it works fine for others. There has never been a single day where uPlay/Ubisoft Connect has been good.

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck You just had to keep clicking continue. There was a bajillion users all trying to buy at the same time, no system can handle that its basically a DDoS attack lol.

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck It’s not broken, you just had to keep clicking. Worked for me on the 10th try. They were basically being ddosed so this is to be expected

    @Steam Hahaha it's the hot fix patches in GE that make it work...

    @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

  • 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

  • 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?”

  • CodenameSpiritR
    Agent Spirit (@CodenameSpiritR) reported

    @Steam Can ya'll fix your refund system please so I can refund an absolute piece of garbage game

  • eastsidepier

    I just finished Poppy Playtime Chapter 1 on @Steam and no achievements popped. Is this a common/known glitch? @mobgamesstudios #achievement #trophy

  • Ramattra___

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Remove the mandatory Ubisoft Connect login for games bought on Steam and things would already be so much better. Even better, just get rid of Ubisoft Connect entirely.

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Many will have you believe this was a sort of bug, glitch, accident...I think ive read all sorts of damage control nonsense in the last 36hrs. Sony consoles had DRM. And the only reason WHY they didn't use it fully was due to the backlash of the 2013 Xbox One E3 conference.

  • noxtics
    Mark Guy (@noxtics) reported

    @nicholasadeleon @valvesoftware @Steam I got the same error, I didn’t spam it though, I let it sit for a bit and then tried again. It took 5 attempts like this and then I got through.

  • KnightVision12

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck “That’s not demand, that’s a broken purchase system.” ok clanker

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

    @valvesoftware @Steam Just bought mine had no issues. Im in australia if that makes a difference.

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck It is server overload, dummy. Nothing was broken. You are just retarded.

  • IRISHANARCHY199
    CelticTiger (@IRISHANARCHY199) reported

    @KlassischeMann @valvesoftware @Steam I think the main reason for the frustration is the storefront collapsing under the pressure within the first second of the item going up for purchase. I wouldn’t have gotten one myself if I hadn’t brute-forced the continue button on the purchase screen that kept giving errors.

  • Disco_Drew523
    iDrinkBourbon (@Disco_Drew523) reported

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck That happened to me too. You have spam that check out button eventually it loaded correctly and went to next step. At the end of the day it was broken. Also I noticed controller went live 3 min before 1PM EST. Maybe that’s what broke it

  • FiggleJizz
    Figgle **** (@FiggleJizz) reported

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Steam isn't the problem lmao.

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

    @valvesoftware @Steam Tried to buy, checkout was broken, now sold out 😭

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam The only problem is your trash launcher.
