@pse7entma @FloydtheRover @Steam "Stop bitching" Mine still hasn't gone through. They ****** up. I even got an Email saying There was an error with a recent Steam purchase. We've saved your cart (including discounts) for 72 hours so you can attempt your purchase again. And now it wont pay unless its a game.

@FallGuysGame 👋 Are you guys going to support the @Steam Deck? So far it looks like it's not working natively on Linux or through Proton (the EAC is blocking it)

@GavinRolls @Steam I understand perfectly that means, thanks. If you offer something, knowing that the servers will be with errors, it is a fraud. If you talk by LAW, it is not a fraud, but for the costumer is a fraud. If you don't understand that i want to tell, bad luck.

@rikupone @SurelyBuirley @Steam There negotiating! Nothing is settled yet. And I'm not pessimistic, but realistic. If they will get it done, then it's a big step. But even then there will be many issues with games, just like now, because the're just not made for Linux. I stick to my previous answer, period.

@issaciams @Steam You can buy a 1tb sd for 50 dollars iirc, so storage shouldn't really be a problem

@angel220687 @calebvw @Steam At least you only dealt with the errors for about 25 minutes. I was dealing with the errors for almost an hour and a half to now be placed in Q2. Glad you didn't suffer as much though. I'm just upset they screw the lot of us in general.

@egadmypickle @Steam My Steam ID is 3 digits long, literally in the first 1000 people to have an account, signed up the day before Steam launched using the HLDS command line in 2004 and I got the same error that my account is too new! It looks fixed now, did you get one?

@LadyT0pHat @Steam This is why I’m glad I started the game in the third round of beta before the Steam version was ever a thing. I remember people having issues with third party mods back in the day on the Steam version as well.

@Steam Can I get my spot from when I added a 512GB to my cart at 10:00:03AM PDT, or am I stuck after processing issues, then "too many attempts" issues, then "your account is too new" issues, then "pending" issues, then "failed try again" issues pushed me back to Q3? What a joke...

@Jell0Puddin @steam the whole point of a “credit card” is that my purchases become tomorrow’s problem so please accept that I will buy every henti game available and don’t try to change what is inevitable

@techno_take3 @Steam Maybe try switching around your download region or restarting the app? I've had this problem before, and that's how I fixed it :):)

@SinnedNima @vg_watcher @Steam Oh I wasn’t worried about it leaving my cart. I knew it wasn’t going anywhere. I was just frustrated it wouldn’t go through because the reserve line was just getting longer. I got it after about another half hour. Steam always has issues any time there’s a sale or something big.

@Mickestmick22 @Steam My friend with an account of 6 years is also getting this message. It just means they're rolling it out to longer-time customers first, it seems like another precaution against scrapers and server issues. I wouldn't be too mad, the things are estimating a 2022 release anyway.

@Rudemmon @Steam SD cards are alot slower which means potential performance problems in game and slower load times in general. In comparison some of the fastest microSD cards only go up to 200MB/s read 200MB/s write whereas a decent gen 4 NVME can do 4000MB/s read 2000MB/s write. Big difference.

@GavinRolls @Steam My phrase is that always happens this one and they know it. Only will sell a few units and multiple errors for who is trying to buy. So, yes, this offer is a fraud because the most of people will can not to buy by errors in the system. And they never improve it.

@Steam Had my payment pending from 10:02 PDT, then a million errors trying to get it before @Steam cancelled my payment about 10 hours later. Managed to reserve it last night so 12 hours later but with a Q2 2022 availability date. Pretty poor showing @Steam

@GrlyGoth @calebvw @Steam yeah i agree, it was the only thing i was excited for in a long time, though i did expect some issues, i didn’t anticipate it to be as bad , glad you got one though sorry it’s gonna be delayed, just think at least you got one

@CaseyExplosion @valvesoftware @Steam what is Valve's incentive here? the economics of this thing baffle me anyway, but "getting the money, but not have people get their hands and have problems with it" sounds like a win/win
