Bring down the sky steam1/19/2023 Image: Richard Lawler A typical Steam Deck ordering error. Another made it through later in the day. ![]() Two Verge editors managed to get through the reservation process and put $5 in their Steam Wallet to reserve a Steam Deck, eventually, with a little luck and a lot of refreshing. The entire Steam store, Steam’s community pages, and the age gate that lets you view mature-rated titles didn’t always work this morning. Other parts of Steam got flaky during the crush of preorder interest, too. Seemingly every step produced another pitfall: two-factor authentication if you weren’t signed in, some signed-in accounts had to sign in once again, credit card checks, even a wonky response from a system that pegged long-established Steam accounts as being “ too new” to participate.
