    @MrWhoShotYaTv @Steam Same problem for me

  • dmusicstud Brandon Danner (@dmusicstud) reported

    @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 - Thanks for getting my hopes up for a easy acquisition of a pre-purchase for a next gen console. Fix your site. Make the deposit $100 take my money

  • Ide4lTwT Lance (@Ide4lTwT) reported

    @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.

  • BluPomKickstart A lost Blueberry Pomegranate Kickstart (@BluPomKickstart) reported

    At least we all band together to crash @Steam when they have something we want. Oops
