    @Steam @Steam_Support I’ve been trying to checkout the steam controller since it went live keep getting an error and now it’s sold out? I should’ve been able to purchase at 10am pct when I put it in my cart

    @1981Graf @NakiVT @Steam For promoting and glamorizing slavery and human abuse. If that's not obvious from a quick glance, that's your problem not mine.

    @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. :(

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck I was met with that error and just spam clicked the link until I got a different page to finally populate!

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

    @DigitalActOfGod @Moonie__OS @Steam Steam does allow these. Also I need to say people publish all sorts of games every single day, I bet it is hard to keep up with how much gets published on the platform. Bringing up any issues with a game is one step in the right direction though before automatically thinking

    @luvk8e @Moonie__OS @Steam The only reason you would have a problem with it is if you’re a traitor.

    I was skeptical about @Steam's controller costing an outrageous $100, $30 more than a Nintendo Pro controller. However, I now know you can open it to maybe fix it yourself and if you drop it, it Wilhelm screams. Such humanity is worth it. Our household will have 2.

    @Steam please help, this is terrible. Your login recovery is trash, I'm locked out for very stupid reasons. Then I started a new account to work around, and I was immediately locked out on the new account.

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Had this issue as well, truly unfortunate they didn't let cart holders hold onto their spot. This error eventually went away after 30-40 mins, and just got a sold out notification at check out. truly cooked.

    @valvesoftware @Steam To those getting the “transaction” error just keep spamming continue, it take a minute or two but it will go though!

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

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

    @litteralyme0 @Steam support is excellent. I had a problem once and they went above and beyond to fix it for me. Legends.

    @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?”

    @valvesoftware @Steam Would have copped if the checkout didnt crash…

    @Moonie__OS @Steam A ******* game teaching everyone how it was back then I don't see the problem?

  • MarkBerryh45268

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

  • hide_X666
    J. Ilmari (@hide_X666) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam Would've been nice if your servers would've let me purchase it. Got errors 30 mins straight and then it was sold out

  • DJignyte
    Ignyte (@DJignyte) reported

    @Steam @discord @Windows The CLOSEST thing I got to it working the way I want, is by launching steam or discord via powershell. Which half works (does for Discord). But I launch steam by right-clicking on the icon and selecting 'Friends' so the friends list appears. Which the powershell thing doesnt fix.

    @painmute @Moonie__OS @Steam literally just a person. you really need to get off the internet and solve some actual problems, incel.

    @luvk8e @Moonie__OS @Steam Funny how basically all races in USA have no problem with each other except blacks . Why is that ?

  • 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.

    Ivan Ironfist (@IvanIronfist) reported

    @Moonie__OS @Steam - Big hit reg issue causing you to hit slaves by accident - Lots of micro at the start - No mechanics explanation but not too hard to figure out - Needs more lore and house staff - Needs slaves of different races with different buffs - Cost $1 which is not bad but lacks content

  • wimpdragon
    Chris Hancock (@wimpdragon) reported

    @NakiVT @Steam Not to mention that this game looks like clewr ai? Not sure if that's normal on steam to allow Not as big of an issue as what you pointed out, but it adds to it being ****

    @Moonie__OS @Steam Don’t see an issue?

  • NEHWind
    N.E.H.-Windzen (@NEHWind) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam Valve, are you shitting me right now? Yes, I've attempted a lot of the same purchase, you just refuse to process any of them. Now I'm locked out for who knows how long, on top of your server problems? Drop the ball harder, I'd love to see what that looks like.

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

    @Moonie__OS @Steam What exactly is the problem?

  • The_Novu
    Novu (@The_Novu) reported

    @Steam Gaben is the best and we love Steam but it'd be VERY unfortunate for this to be a problem when I've spent well over a thousand dollars on Steam over the past 15 years.
