    @OKarma_OK @Steam @Steam_Support I had this issue and ADCGSECURE took care of it.

    @valvesoftware @Steam Fix your system, given that everyone was getting a transaction error, this has to be one of the biggest console hardware launch debacles in the last decade. Guess people who wanted one are out of luck because you can't handle payment transactions properly during a blitz.

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

    @valvesoftware @Steam Sucks you were able to let me put in money no problem, but let the scalpers buy everything.

    Massive props to @Steam . Courier dropped my Steam Controller 4 hours from my address (same one my Steam Deck reached just fine), couldn't be rerouted — so they sent a replacement AND gifted me Forza Horizon 6 to make up for it. Downloading now. This is how customer service should work 🎮 @ForzaHorizon

    @rvmpvq3 @CantAiim @Steam the problem is, you shouldn't NEED to use these workarounds considering that the games are still 20 dollars on sale

    @choehau_ara @Steam @Steam_Support So then they should fix it.... As their consoles run Linux afterall

    @smith_rust @valvesoftware @Steam While I hate scalpers, and they were no doubt part of the problem by being apart of the server load, it's not their fault I couldn't purchase one. I had it in my cart at 10:00 PT, immediately went to checkout, and was never able to complete the purchase. My error message didn't change from "error initializing your transaction" to "items in your cart are out of stock" for 40 minutes. This is on Valve and their backend not being able to handle the purchasing traffic. I just hope they're able to identify the issues and make updates so this doesn't happen again in the next batch, the Steam Box, or the Frame

    @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?”

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

    When are you planning to address the cheating issue in this game? We come in hoping for some peace and enjoyment, but we end up leaving with red marks of frustration. Please review the account I've submitted a ticket for! @Steam @Steam_Support @CounterStrike

    Getting sick of this ****. @valvesoftware @Steam @Steam_Support How do you justify this? How are you fixing the issue? Tell BlackRock to kick rocks. Your users will pay you any way you come up with.

    @Judokast @Smthingedgy @Steam There's problems with Steam. The review filter is a big one for me. They applied an off topic review bomb filter to a game that rightfully deserved it for censorship.

    @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

    @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.

    @valvesoftware @Steam Added to cart at launch, but then nothing but error messages until a minute after launch when it showed out of stock. But at least the scalpers were able to get them. They are gong for $300 on eBay. Can’t say I’m surprised, just disappointed.

  • 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.

    @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.
