@Steam how about you take a note from beauty companies and queue your site...so people can't all get on at the same time, and when they do get on, they can actually preorder. Errors for "too many purchases in a short time" when your system won't push payments through......

@GameOverIRL @Steam I am please for you mate but like many others despite getting it in my cart immediately getting to my cart and then getting through payment has been a wall of errors, quite why companies are never ready for the volume they know is coming is beyond me.

@Steam How do we fix the fact that it says "you've tried too many times, try later?". I never got an order through. That should have been turned off for this

@Steam My preorder has been torpedoed: “It looks like you’ve been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours”. Obviously I’ve been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours due to the issues with the purchase workflow!

@Steam Cool, cool. So your own server errors actually hurt the user when they're trying to checkout; counting against them, and eventually barring them from finishing checkout because "It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours." - perfectly #BadUX

@JetBlackRJT @Steam that error can mean hours of no store access, so it means odds are we're stuck waiting because they didn't disable that today >:C

Cool @Steam, thanks for locking me out of reserving a Steam Deck because your site is broken and won't let me submit payment- then citing me that I've tried to pay too many times. Tf?

(@jamessutherland) reported
@PenLlawen @Steam Same here. I like that you get that after retrying loads of times because the previous error told you to try again.

@Steam How have you not solved the server load problem in 2021? It's pretty simple. Get your crap together.

@Steam want to know how I know you need #edge? 15 minutes and straight up e502 l3 error codes for 15 minutes...if it's this bad for shopping carts think how bad it will be for latency!
