So much trouble getting @Steam to just let me reserve a Steam Deck... took me over 1h of trying to book a 512GB unit. December can't come soon enough.

@Steam I honestly am unsure why people are comparing it to the Switch. This device is ideal for someone unable to get a PC up and running because of part stock issues and wants to play their games they own on steam. However the switch is ideal for multiplayer party games or couch co-op.

@Steam My account has been stolen and I can't for the life of me find anywhere to talk to an actual person about this issue, can someone help me to find some actual steam support?

@dtantono @Noobface @Steam From what it seems, basically only in game voice chat doesnt work right now. And that shouldnt be a huge issue for most people.

@madlittlepixel I had a similar issue. Initially couldn't reserve one. Said my account was too new. Messaged @Steam support because I've had an account for years and purchase quite a few games from them, most recently Resident Evil Village. They fixed it and I reserved the 512gb model.

@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

@pawsibilityx0 @Steam I was having the same issue earlier, tried again about 20 minutes ago and now showed as eligible. Give it another try?

@ErchachoESP @Steam This is literally meaningless, they're not worth that much and its against ebay's terms of service to sell something that doesn't even exist yet because you need to ship within 30 days of purchase.

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

@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.

So apparently after buying over 100 games on their service, no matter the cost of them cause of steam sales, @Steam says I'm ineligible to order the Steam Deck because they show I've never bought a steam game...

@Steam @Steam_Support what a horrible UX issue. I have tried requesting a refund for a product three times today, which was obviously purchased today (reciept) and each time it is rejected because you think I played it for 67 hours today. In the hour I owned it

@Steam @Steam I've been a customer for literally YEARS and have bought an absurd number of games from y'all. Why am I getting the error "Your account is too new" when trying to reseerve!?

@dealer_of_happy @Steam @Sony Consoles lose money on software sales if nobody can buy their consoles so I don’t understand why they can’t solve this relatively simple problem

@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!

@CuRrY_Boiii @Steam Not really. I know the exact specs / what I’m getting into. So unless there’s an actual hardware issue, which warrants repair / replacement, I know what’s going on lol

@Steam Gabe’s not the brightest star in the galaxy for sure. Not sure why they don’t follow Apple, never have any issues getting their new wares. Not like there wasn’t a precedent set with the GPU fiasco. Thinking is hard for some folk.

@Steam Finally figured it out. Found it in my cart, waited 30 minutes just to make sure. I used the steam app on my smart phone and it went through with no problem. It is now there in my purchase history.

(@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.
