@Steam i'm attempting to reserve the steam deck but it's not working and now it's telling me that I'm "It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours. Please wait a while before trying again." Am I going to be missing out on purchasing this?

@Steam I have an account for years, and your services tell me my account is too new to preorder a SteamDeck? Seems silly. I realize you want combat resellers, but I bought a game within the last year, and certainly prior to 6/1/2021 - it was last year. Fix this!

@Steam So funny how people expecting the site to not crash right when it goes live. Yall the same folks who give products a 1 star out of 5 because you couldn't get one. Relax guys, there's plenty of time to reserve.

@Steam stuck in my cart, "unexpected error" and "error initializing or updating transaction" you'd think valve of all companies would have the servers to withstand the load
