@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

@Steam "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction" I've been a Steam user since before Half Life 2 came out...a phased rollout of reservations to the oldest accounts first would have been great.... Can't believe you didn't have enough servers ready.
