Levi ✨ (@FlockMasterLevi) reported@Slayer_Int777 @Moonie__OS @Steam That’s the problem ********
-
AzureCrux (@AzureCrux) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Payment processors have rate limits, chief. Too many people wanted controllers at once. Every platform exclusive has this problem, it's frustrating as heck.
-
USW444 (@UniversalSWave) reportedHey @Steam. We got a problem.
-
PoLiiQa (@PoLiiQas) reported@rvmpvq3 @CantAiim @Steam the problem is, you shouldn't NEED to use these workarounds considering that the games are still 20 dollars on sale
-
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.
-
markemark1286 (@MarkBerryh45268) reported@ThisOldGuy3 @Steam @grok I've never played. Is it good? I need a good game to fix my brain.
-
Stirling Forge (Unsupervised) (@StirlingForge) reported@valvesoftware @Steam transaction error at exactly 10:00am. the bots won
-
PhilTheStampede (@PhilTheStampede) reportedGetting 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.
-
Maddocks (@fn_maddocks) reported@WeArePlayground go **** yourselfs useless ***** @Steam **** ***** aswell had major problems trying get on fh6 now fixed it all and new problem stuck loading then error message tryed everything **** you I want a refund now !!
-
Red Sox Royal Rooter (@RoyalRooterSox) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Unable to buy due to errors for 20+ minutes, then it sold out. Crazy.
-
LoppyDaCutie (@DaNamesLily) reported@Steam hey somebody at the steam vr dev team made it so i get a 450 error everytime i press play on steam link on the oculus quest 3S and its pissing me off because im sitting here draining my headsets battery while trying to play vr
-
justinseans (@justinseans) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck "That’s not demand, that’s a broken purchase system." Shut up Grok
-
PatriotCentral (@patriot_central) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck It is server overload, dummy. Nothing was broken. You are just retarded.
-
Dr. Doom Groyper (@GroyperDoom) reported@Moonie__OS @Steam I dont see what the problem is?
-
Alec (@SavageRedCrow) reported@valvesoftware @Steam I'm glad to hear you guys put some restrictions on the reservation. i hope the steam frame and machine have the same. to be clear i did get a controller during that first round, i could have used 2 but out of fairness i only ordered 1 to let others have a chance. while i literally waited "a min" before trying again i looked at X and saw everyone was having a problem and that spamming worked. i mean it wasn't just like clicking when the button reappeared, i spammed the hell outta that screen for like 10 min.
-
Sapien Voice (@Sapien_Voice) reported@Steam So fed up, having to log into those UNNECESSARY gaming-platforms (even f offliners)! Let's look at the consumer-perspective: you are forced into being monitored and exploited! I remember much better user-service as long as developer/publishers managed servicing all by themselves.
-
Pathos (@DreamRemnants) reported@EA @Steam probably should have extended refund period if this is a known issue.
-
🇨🇦Toxic ChudLord Megabased Canadian ManBaby 🇨🇦 (@ToxicChudArtist) reported@Moonie__OS @Steam What's the problem? Thre's plenty of games where you can shoot all sorts of people. Do you think that black people need to be shielded from fictional depicted violence in videogames?
-
The Digital Archaeologist (@TheDataTomb) reported@Moonie__OS @Steam It’s a game that teaches about history. I don’t see the problem.
-
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
-
mr orange (@streamingdeluxe) reported@Tyretes @valvesoftware @Steam Not helpi g with error
-
JumexTrump (IQ-150) (SAT-2250) 🇵🇱🇷🇺🗽 💊 (@jumex_trump) reported@Steam He other issue is it's not VAC secure for MP either with proton GE...sticking with experimental....
-
Cosmodiver (@Cosmodiver) reported@CharlieFlufboi @valvesoftware @Steam Yeah, looks like even people trying to buy it on Steam are running into errors and can’t purchase it lol
-
Barry Ticks (@BarryTCks) reported@valvesoftware @Steam just a friendly tip for my favourite company of all time, due to the controller issue recently, limit the steam frame and machine 1 per household, and a similar process to the new controller protocol you just announced. To stop trolls. So we don’t miss out.
-
William (@WilliamTimeMage) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Just bought mine had no issues. Im in australia if that makes a difference.
-
SLayer (@Slayer_Int777) reported@Moonie__OS @Steam I don't see a problem. Just a game.
-
Eldritch Boggart (@EldritchBoggart) reported@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.
-
⚡ Luis Montes - @monteslu@fosstodon.org (@monteslu) reported"There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance." yo, @Steam_Support @Steam Let me get a controller.
-
cofffin (@HWMreb) reported@IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Fine for me. User error.
-
BlueXcoat (@BlueXcoat) reported@valvesoftware @Steam Just keep selling controllers at the same price till scalpers give up buying, infinite money glitch and then it could be available to all of the customers right now. Would advise for everyone to not even buy the reselling options from ebay. @valvesoftware
