    @UbisoftSupport @Steam This is bullshit and you know it. It is your broken launcher failing. Get rid of uplay. Nobody uses it anyway unless they are forced to

    @Q4Q4U @UbisoftSupport @Steam Still having the same issue?

  • RGB_MIDAS
    hombo (@RGB_MIDAS) reported

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Actually the issue usually lies within your launcher and not Steam's. There is absolutely no reason why I need to enter my password every time for *some* games but it works fine for others. There has never been a single day where uPlay/Ubisoft Connect has been good.

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam This wouldn't be a problem if your launcher actually worked 🙄

    @pcgamer Ppl say he's nitpicking but I can't wear clothes if the tag touches me. I think companies will release mods to fix issues & ppl will buy it @Steam is my favorite company but... I do worry about those details. The Elite Series 2 is almost ideal

    @valvesoftware @Steam To those getting the “transaction” error just keep spamming continue, it take a minute or two but it will go though!

    @valvesoftware @Steam Brazilian players want to buy Valve hardware officially, at a fair price, with proper support. We are not asking for magic. Just a legitimate way to buy the product without gambling with bureaucracy and warranty issues.

    @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.

  • _Geotherma
    Geo Gaming (@_Geotherma) reported

    @Steam One of the big problems is that devs are often pushed to get a high metacritic score or steam rating off the bat for bonuses etc. And if they don't it's seen as a complete failure by the execs and stockholders, which is stupid. In today's gaming world, a game can grow/degrade.

    @Sheltyb803 @PlayStation @Steam Hahahaha wtf are you on about, it doesn’t effect anyone. If you don’t have internet for 30 days that’s your issue not there’s hahaha

  • 135dotx
    135.x (@135dotx) reported

    @Pirat_Nation Don't care. Microslop had years➕ to fix @Windows & are only doing it now bc losing ppl to Linux & @Steam. These companies will never learn – I hope gamers finally do. Money is voting power & I haven't spent any since "Xbox One (won)".

  • Lucoa_Star65
    Lucoa's Husbano (@Lucoa_Star65) reported

    @UbisoftSupport @Steam Here's an easy solution: Delete your ****** DRM Launcher from existence. That will solve the problem.

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck Payment processors have rate limits, chief. Too many people wanted controllers at once. Every platform exclusive has this problem, it's frustrating as heck.

    @valvesoftware @Steam Gave up on trying to buy one. Damn store was broken with nothing but errors. Guess I’ll get one in a year or so.

    @benheck @Steam You're not wrong. Yes, I'm fully aware of why Linux hasn't taken over. A major "problem" is bombarding potential users with too many choices (distro, partition scheme, filesystem, etc., etc., etc.) before they even get a login prompt.

  • wolfybbad
    Steward (@wolfybbad) reported

    @IoriShakor @Steam @OnDeck You just had to keep clicking continue. There was a bajillion users all trying to buy at the same time, no system can handle that its basically a DDoS attack lol.

  • Zamaszysty
    Przemek M. (@Zamaszysty) reported

    @TeeJayTheory @valvesoftware @Steam I guess it depends on your grip. I don't see any issues with it at all, but I have large hands and have no issues with reaching anything in any controller I've ever used so far. I don't think I'd have issues here either.

    @VHSDVDBLURAY4K @Steam Anti-piracy is all about maximizing profits.. rather than fighting piracy.. Forcing 70$ games in your face that need patches from day 0.. to fix the game..

    @valvesoftware @Steam Just keep selling controllers at the same price till scalpers give up buying, infinite money glitch and then it could be available to all of the customers right now. Would advise for everyone to not even buy the reselling options from ebay. @valvesoftware
