As the title says The wait is over.

Not a moment too soon - Bethesda, I'd humbly, but strongly, suggest you confront Steam regarding the slow release. (This is not the first time, not by a long shot.)
As many have mentioned - the majority of the world's population is already on the 18th of May.

Edit: Yup, getting "There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance.". Oh the irony.
Edit2: For some variation, I've also got the "There has been an internal error initializing your transaction. Please contact support for assistance.".

Just not the % thats matters lol

I'm getting an error when I attempt to purchase. Is anyone else?

You left out the part that we can't buy it. Your thread is only 95% complete.

I never said we could play it. Just that it was out on steam

I'm getting the same thing: "There has been an internal error initializing your transaction. Please contact support for assistance."

I don't see it.

Hmmmn... Touche.

Not out in Aus yet.
It is now.

The servers are overloaded probably we just need to relax.

Whoever is the cause of this should be embarrassed.

Almost feel like it's being done on purpose.

Where's the "waiting for Steam to initialize or update your transaction" thread? :v

your on it

Its Valve we are talking about here ...

It wasn't up at midnight PST, it wasn't up at 5am EST, it wasn't up at 5am my time. It is now up and the damn transaction won't go through *head desk* *head desk* *head desk*.

Just *barely* the 17th here. Like literally, it's 8 mins to midnight now.

coming tuesday-ish

this is now more than fail i'm waiting for GOTY or what ever they decide to call it this is bull......

omg im actually crying and pulling my hair out, this is by far the most stressful thing in the world, divorce has got nothing on this

Sounds like you have deeper problems than a slight delay in New Vegas DLC... :confused:

As with everything in life - (sorry for being philosophical) - when should one start to complain or question if something works?
Is there a set time, is it circumstantial?

The release date was set to the 17th of May - with Steam saying absolutely nothing about timezones or whatnot. The ideal case would be to release it at 1200 GMT, as nearly the entire world would be on the same date at that point.

Even if the release date was met in some parts of the world - several factors cause a feeling that Steam haven't really done their job well; the many hours after the XBLA release, the fact that they've had the files (they should be prepared to release it) and so forth.
Since distribution is their sole job; if/when they fail at it, complaints are in order.

Comparison: if a coffee machine couldn't make coffee - wouldn't you complain?
But if a multi-kitchen-tool couldn't make coffee (but still loads of other things), the problem seems smaller, doesn't it?


Again; a bit philosophical, but the nature of the "issue" and how Valve/Steam are handling their job, their customers and their distribution system... warrants a few questions, at least.

I, too, am literally crying IRL

Sounds like your sarcasm detector is right broken.

you think you're having it bad, You do realize that somewhere at the Steam offices, some poor slob is at a computer, with like 5 managers standing behind him, screaming "FIX IT!", right?
