@Jijarugen @Steam It has nothing to do with "preparing servers" there literally is no server that exists that would not break with this model. The problem is the model of "everyone just click buy at X time" as a release strategy for anything desirable.

@Steam "It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours. Please wait a while before trying again." Reset user accounts - I can't purchase because your system crashes and then blames me for the issue :-)

@Steam and @Steam_Support there's no point in letting people reserve off your website if the servers are going to crash the second they're open #problems #SteamDeck

@CipherpunkChris @Steam Yeah, that makes it sting even more. I respect that they *normally* need this sort of tracking in place, but it should be turned off for this item. MOREOVER, errors shouldn't count towards purchase "attempts," but that one is clear-as-day ((sigh))
