@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 How have you not solved the server load problem in 2021? It's pretty simple. Get your crap together.

So much for getting one I guess. @Steam fix your stupid platform and get rid of annoying AF throttles like this.

@JetBlackRJT @Steam that error can mean hours of no store access, so it means odds are we're stuck waiting because they didn't disable that today >:C

@PenLlawen @Steam Same here. I like that you get that after retrying loads of times because the previous error told you to try again.

@Steam Cool, cool. So your own server errors actually hurt the user when they're trying to checkout; counting against them, and eventually barring them from finishing checkout because "It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours." - perfectly #BadUX

@Steam what is this nonsense your website is pulling, saying I’ve tried to make too many purchases? I’ve been trying to make *one* purchase, preordering your silly Steam Deck. Fix your ******, god damn bush league website.

@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."
