Due to this whole issue with @Steam and there prejudice to youth, I have to ask: at what age did you make your Steam account?

Seriously. Why did @Steam allow the rate limiter today? They knew folks would be trying to get through their broken cart. Gah!!

@Steam What’s the point if you get in the order and then money gets taken and then get an email saying there was an issue. Such a bad experience

@Steam It would be amazing if your site didn't crash when attempting to order.

@Protostar @Steam Still trying, now the error has changed to "you have another purchase pending". Not a chance I'm getting one.

@justinkatzmedia @Steam I went to lunch, came back, tried again, took me through the entire PayPal process to pay, finished, got back to Steam, errored out immediately, now stuck in the error loop again, can't complete transaction, glad to know someone got one

@Steam Jesus that was a hot mess of an experience. Got many error messages but finally got to pay. Then it said my bank had blocked the transaction (even though it hadn't) and when I tried to buy it once again, it said I already owned it and the payment had gone through. Phew!

@javaKrypt @Steam Check the reservation page. I couldn't get mine until about 45min after the reservations went live. Shows Q2 2022 (512), my buddy got no errors and it's saying Q1 2022.

@Steam I managed to get one after a long list of errors, was there dead on 6pm GMT to reserve, loaded, crashed then wouldn’t load, kept trying finally got there but delivery expected Q1 2022 slightly disappointing as I was hoping for christmas delivery, good luck to everyone else.

@Steam I give up. I have it in my basket since 2.5 hours, first I couldn't buy it, later "too many purchases" error, now "you have other purchase pending". Support does not reply. Just great.

@Steam "It looks like you've been attempting a lot of purchases in the last few hours. Please wait a while before trying again." It's been over 2hrs of nothing but errors, getting stuck and that message. Meanwhile I'm seeing people ordering theirs left and right. Imma lie down now.

@Steam Finally managed it, tho when the order went through it still gave me the unexpected error message. I went to the cart and it said you already own this, looked at my emails & i had the order confirmation email & PayPal email.

@Steam Been trying for hours now! I've got in my basket but I've had 3 PayPal payments & 2 credit card ones crash after saying working. Now for the last hour I get the too many attempts! Yes! Because your site is crashing! Just waited 25 mins but still the say.

@Steam Seems to be extremely difficult to get through once you get a reservation, website not working well.

(@KieranTully) reported
@edzitron OTOH, true elastic scaling is hard. Can't expect merchants to build their own payment network (even @Steam wallet payments failed!) or design their store for the rare black swan event where customers DDoS them. Thinking cap on, have some ideas.

@srujandetox @Steam Yeah I understand, ps5 kuda same issues. But i feel they are missing out on the holiday season. They barely make profits on hardware anyway, vita la flop aithe em malli evaru touch cheyaru. So much better than switch, chala hopes unayi

@Steam My only question is why did u have such an incredibly screwed up process 4 taking preorders? An error filled system that eventually flags my attempts 2 order as "too many attempts to purchase, why don't you wait a while". When I eventually get back 2 my cart, I'll b removing it

@AWDtwit @Steam Steam is so broken over this, i had to try 4 times just to purchase the Streets Of Rage 4 DLC, which i had no idea was out now!

(@HackyScientress) reported
Well looks like the over 1h delay cause by the errors means that I won't get mine in Dezember. It now says in my account Q1 2022. Time will tell how many months later I will get mine because of the 1h and 20min delay cause by @steam's ****** DOS protection.

Steam Deck reserved. Thanks, @Steam ! Can't wait! Success around 1:30 with minimal timeout issues. Server issues appear to be getting much worse now, tho. Good luck to those still struggling. Ganbatte! #SteamDeck

@JustinRoiland @Steam Mine just went through, I had the same exact error. Couple tips: - Do it through the native steam desktop app, not mobile or web - just keep hitting "continue" - i believe it's a timed lock out, prob an hour
