@Steam It'd be nice if i could actually reserve it though. Fix your crappy reservation system. You even had a release date to protect from Dos errors, and still the poorly put together system cannot handle a spike in buyers, losing sales. What a joke.

@Steam It would be nice if you could fix the store so we could actually pre-order the thing...

@Steam I have a question. Why is your system so ******* broken that nobody can actually reserve it? And those that got to the payment screen are getting the error "you've attempted too many purchases, tough ****, dumbass!"

Crashes, errors, and "It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours. Please wait a while before trying again." when I finally get to the purchase page on @Steam for the first time. Steam Deck reservations are as stressful as I thought they'd be.

@CrayyZen @Steam According to the release notes all games can be played but multiplayer games with anti cheat have issues right now but they are trying to come up with a fix. So you will lose that bet.

Help! @Steam I tried buying a Steam Deck, got constant errors, and now I can't purchase ANYTHING because the client is telling me I've been attempting to purchase too much in the last few hours (FOR YOUR STEAM DECK). I can't even add a payment method or change password. HELP ME.

@Steam why can’t i reserve steam deck. I keep getting a ‘looks like you’ve been purchasing a lot’ error. This after I tried and kept getting processing errors with PayPal and credit card purchase attempts. Wtf?

@Steam 17 minutes of failing to process my payment and now I’m trapped with this “you’ve attempted a lot of purchases” CRAP. c’mon please fix this. Feels@like I already won’t get one til 2022 and I was here right from the start.

Well @Steam, this was a huge disappointment. Attempt purchase repeatedly, keeps saying there's an error. Finally get through once, but purchase doesn't complete.

@Steam For anyone having trouble… what worked for me was adding the $5 to my steam wallet first and using that as the payment method.

(@SaltineSwaGGer) reported
@tftgray @Steam Right? That’s why I did it, & they have a set up that blocks that. I was in 2 the final screen but nothing happened “Working” was grayed out for over 10 minutes, that signals a “timed out” error so it’s natural to try again. 2 be punished for this seems wrong but nothing I can do

@Steam My attempts to pre-order the 512gb model went from "something went wrong" to "too many attempts try later" to "your Steam account is too new, try again in a couple days" ...too new?! I've been a Steam customer for (checks years of service tag) FOURTEEN YEARS! Lol
