@Steam Guys I think the “too many purchases” error can expire after 30-40 min. Managed to snag one after getting that error for about that long.

@Protostar @Steam I just got to a purchase screen after getting both the transaction and too many attempts errors. I just kept spamming continue on the enter your payment info screen and it eventually let me through? I got an email with my receipt at any rate. So maybe just keep hitting continue.

@Yeoden @Steam The site won't let me login, the account recovery system is broken, and I'll miss my ability to pay them $5 to even have the ability to give them hundreds later. Makes me sad that I can't even log into my account I've had for a long time to give them money. Ah well.

@Steam Yo you fix the preorders yet by adding something as basic and simple as a captcha? It really isn't that hard to thwart bots.

@Steam which of course counts against me on purchase attempts and i'll eventually just get another error. maybe i'll just wait for the hardware to be on sale 2 years after it comes out. Assuming this doesn't go the way of the Steam Box and just gets killed off like a google project.

Aaaaand got mine reserved. 🥳🥳🥳 That was a really weird error message though @Steam . I'm use to seeing time-out errors, or system buisy errors, but what was up with that one? Was it some new system you folks were trying out to counter the Scalper asshats? (1/2)
