    @ChibiReviews People should be losing their **** over the fact that payment processors wouldn't dare touch a game this big that will drag their asses to court if they tried to deny service. Wish @Steam would step up for the games on it's platform too.

    @valvesoftware @Steam Seriously guys, why did you not roll this out like the Deck to prevent scalpers? You already had this problem solved. Big disappointment, guess I'll have to wait now.

    @KlassischeMann @valvesoftware @Steam I think the main reason for the frustration is the storefront collapsing under the pressure within the first second of the item going up for purchase. I wouldn’t have gotten one myself if I hadn’t brute-forced the continue button on the purchase screen that kept giving errors.

    @Steam @Steam_Support do you have a random shipment generator for orders as it seems you are shipping the steam controllers randomly. I ordered at 57 just before, and my wife's at 18 past because you were broken for her. It's Def not in any kind of order which seems unfair. :(

    Alright I need to talk about the customer support over at @valvesoftware and @Steam That **** goes SO HARD. Like, idk what y'all are teaching your employees, but keep that going. EVERY time I've needed ANYTHING you've always been a great help. This is why I use your service.

    @GooningOnRumble @Steam Wtf? I don't believe that I have ever had this issue.

    @Steam @discord @Windows The CLOSEST thing I got to it working the way I want, is by launching steam or discord via powershell. Which half works (does for Discord). But I launch steam by right-clicking on the icon and selecting 'Friends' so the friends list appears. Which the powershell thing doesnt fix.

    @Smthingedgy I've never once had a problem with @Steam . From refunds to technical problems whatever and do you know what other company I can say that about these days? NONE, the ******* answer is NONE! Gabe fulfilled the social contract. He gave us what we need and want, he gets a yacht.

    Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen (@TheVisitorSNAFU) reported

    @GooningOnRumble @Steam Did stream also crash? Some delisted products if gifted from an inventory won’t work and can crash the system. Also is the game sold in the West or is it an Asian game like Dead Or Alive volleyball?

    @NakiVT @Steam Not to mention that this game looks like clewr ai? Not sure if that's normal on steam to allow Not as big of an issue as what you pointed out, but it adds to it being ****

  • 97skynet
    97skynet (@97skynet) reported

    @valvesoftware @Steam Added to cart at launch, but then nothing but error messages until a minute after launch when it showed out of stock. But at least the scalpers were able to get them. They are gong for $300 on eBay. Can’t say I’m surprised, just disappointed.

    @valvesoftware @Steam This is a ****** service! I reserved one minute past 10 pacific and I’ve been waiting 15 days for a chance to buy it! I could understand if I took my time reserving! Valve you need to do better!

    Billy Exeter (@SgtMccray) reported

    @MrKillevrything @GooningOnRumble @Steam Now THAT is saying something. If MKE has many gifted games and has never run into the issue…I don’t know. But I can’t wait for all the stupid suggestions like “Did you check the router?”

  • danny_mcnasty
    that guy (@danny_mcnasty) reported

    @smith_rust @valvesoftware @Steam While I hate scalpers, and they were no doubt part of the problem by being apart of the server load, it's not their fault I couldn't purchase one. I had it in my cart at 10:00 PT, immediately went to checkout, and was never able to complete the purchase. My error message didn't change from "error initializing your transaction" to "items in your cart are out of stock" for 40 minutes. This is on Valve and their backend not being able to handle the purchasing traffic. I just hope they're able to identify the issues and make updates so this doesn't happen again in the next batch, the Steam Box, or the Frame

    @Blaziken1500 @Steam This has only happened to a small amount of controllers as they said, i can't tell how many controllers are affected by this, but as to what i looks like(for me) its a issue from GLS and not even Steam. My Steam Deck Oled had arrived in 3-4 days back when it released.
