Of course, this couldn’t come at a worse time, with Steam having just launched its annual Summer Sale, one of the best times of the year to save big on AAA and indie games.

Many gamers (like myself) are thus sat staring at a stacked shopping cart and longing for the days, weeks, months, and years they can spend procrastinating on other games and telling themselves they’ll eventually get around to playing new ones any day now.

It’s been nearly two years since Baldur’s Gate III became available. I’ve yet to even download it.

Still, that won’t stop me, and many like me, from adding dozens more games to our libraries once issues clear.

While users can seemingly browse the storefront without issue, access cloud saves, play games, and even chat to friends, almost all problems currently being encountered seem to revolve around accessing your Wishlist or making purchases.
