Do you refund games you don't like?
I tried but steam refuses to budge on my refunds. It makes me think all the refund requests "that get accepted" are either edited (like this one) or simply AI generated.I've asked for TWO refunds on my ancient account, both of which were barely outside the window and they simply flipped me off.
>>748973668I refuse to believe this isn't edited. I got a "Never waste my time again." when I tried to refund Celeste after the dev made her trans years after release.
>>748973668Only small niche ones if they don't work properlyBig ones (like yours) have enough content on youtube to decide if they are worth a buy or not
>>748973798>both of which were ... outside the windowThe fuck are you expecting retard? What do you think the point of the refund window is?
>>748974274Every single time one of these WOW REFUND images get spread around, it's outside of the refund window.
>>748974349The only time you can even maybe hope to get an old game refunded is if an update made it not work on your PC anymore or some shit like that. Not because they patched in a homofaggot flag.
I pirate my games before I buy them. So I never refund games I don't like, because I shrimply never buy those.
I've only refunded games that don't work.I have a game I probably SHOULD refund but instead I'm willing to work with the developer to get it working because I do want to play it.
>>748974168proof?
>>748974274The 2 hour refund window is disgustingly low to thoroughly know if you like the game or not, filthy steam kike.
Gays of War
>>748974168That's the trouble with reporting culture war brainrot, customer service doesn't always take it seriously, especially if its written in a trollish manner like OP did. Even though it doesn't get the point across, the best way to do it if you really want your money back is to come up with an unrelated reason or just use a professional tone in the report.
I refunded a few, but mostly over technical issues. For example, the version of Gothic 2 that Steam sells just does not work, while GOG sells a working version.Otherwise, I don't think I ever spend less than two hours in a game even if I end up not liking it too much.
>>748973668Steam refunds, I return.
>>748973668AHHAA BASED GABEN
i straight up removed (deleted) fallout 3 and new vegas because of how shit they were i think skyrim is the only "playable" game bethesda softworks has ever made
>>748973668If it's in the window, I do refund it with the "It wasn't fun" option. Hope the devs see that
>>748974606Cry more. Stop paying them if you're just going to fill your diaper and throw a fit, the rules of how refunds work are clearly outlined to anybody that isn't an ESL.
>>748974606If this is true for you then you're probably playing slop.
>>748974730I have the opposite problem where I'll rip into a game and then worry that the devs will see the review and cry because I'm a onions freak. Honestly is there anything worse than devs who actually read Steam reviews personally and also the Steam forums? You'd have to be out of your fucking mind. Like get someone to do it for you at least
>>748974746>>748974848Steam jeet nigger cattle non arguments. Devs have been front loading their games specifically built around this. Go play in traffic.
>>748973668I got a refund for watch dogs 1 with 10 hours of playtime because i said i bought it for the multiplayer and apparently the online servers are long gone
>>748973668This is fake. When I refunded too much games they denied me and wrote "the refund option is not about trying the games for free, but to get back your money in unfortunate events you didn't see before buying"
I don't think the playtime matters for gears of war because it's technically not out yet. early preorder access to games are a gray zone and i don't think the automated refund services know how to deal with it since the game is still technically a preorder.i remember in the past you could refund early access games no matter what your playtime was when they officially left early access but I think steam fixed that.
>>748974606>The 2 hour refund window is disgustingly low to thoroughly know if you like the game or notImagine forcing yourself to play a game (which is meant to be fun) and not having fun for over 2 hours to see if you'll eventually have fun
>>748975493to be fair a lot of modern jrpgs have intros that can reach up to like 10+ hours before the systems are fully unlocked for you.
>>748975391Yeah because you probably bought like 10 fucking games in the span of 3 days and refunded them all then ignored the warning they give you when you do that and did it again like a total retard.
>>748975635>playing modern JRPGsYou should know better by now
>>748973668BASED BASED BASED!!!
>>748975642So it is completely legal to give you a refund because of some homophobic remarks, but you cant get a refund for doing it too much?
>>748975814You sound like one of those dumb incel chuds who just shitposts all day on 4chan.
I dont spend more then a couple dollars on steam slop, and if I jave some weird urge to buy a AAA game it must be good enough not to consider returning it. I generally dont buy games im not going to like amd do my research if I dont know.
I wouldn't buy a game I don't like.
>>748973668I refunded vintage story even though I liked it because one of the main devs put malware into it.
>>748973668It's my right and it incurs no cost on me, so of course I do.>BUT THINK OF THE DEEEEEEVSFuck you, make a better game then.
>>748974274The two hour window doesn't matter if your reasoning is good enough I've gotten multiple refunds despite having more than 5 hours in those games. But I've never tried that with a game that's been on the account for two weeks or longer. I've only ever seen one anon who successfully got a refund despite owning a game for years after the devs did some shit to fundamentally change the whole game.
>>748977809Plenty of people got refunds on skull girls after the misandrists censored it. 10 years after stealing it, even.
Does co-op difficulty progress not save if you arent the host? I did Act 1 and the prologue on Insane, and it says my highest is Hardcore (solo)
>>748973668I don't buy shit games, so I never have to refund games.
i first pirate game or play demo. buying on advance is retarded in this era of woke slop
>>748973668I generally research games pretty intensively if I buy them, unless they're 1-2 dollar affairs I buy on steep discount. At which point, it's not worth the effort to refund them.I usually only ever refund games that just don't work. Dawn of War 3 was the first, and last game I bought on hype alone, was disappointed by, and refunded.
>using steamDon't support wokeness
I got a refund from Nintendo for Neverwinter Nights on Switch 2 months and 8 hours of play time later because the multiplayer just doesn't work on Switch.
>>748978502maomao sexsex
>>748974168Are you blind or something? It says it need to be within 14 days of purchase with less than 2 days of playtime.
>>748975852That's literally what that anon said, why repeat yourself?
>>748973668
>>748978207>Plenty of people got refunds on skull girls after the misandrists censored it. 10 years after stealing it, even.I somehow forgot this shitshow happened lol, what the fuck were the devs thinking?
>>748978596Uhhh antiwoke bros....how do we spin this??
>>748973668All the time. One time I bought Neverwinter Nights, refunded it, decided I wanted to play it afterall, bought it AGAIN, then refunded it once more.
>>748979053Presumably that combatting the evil male gaze was more important than respecting their paying customers.
>>748979116Gog and Piracy.
>>748975635jrpgs are never fun unless they are action based
>>748975852Outside the EU they're not even legally required to give you refunds in the first place, retard.
>>748975642>Yeah because you probably bought like 10 fucking games in the span of 3 days and refunded them all then ignored the warning they give you when you do that and did it again like a total retard.Every time steam refunds get brought up one of these retards come out of the wood work and cry they can't keep abusing the system, it's borderline brown behavior. If you really wanna try a game without paying for it just pirate it then decide to buy it if you think it's worth the time.
>>748973668Only if there are pajeets or blackoids in the credits.
>>748973668Yesnext question
>>748973668I remember when I had a PS4 I preordered a DLC. On release I did not get access to it. I contacted the devs and they said they didn't receive my purchase even though it was absolutely charged on my credit card.I had to argue with 3 different reps at Sony for 2 hours to get a refund and the last pos I spoke to was like >For this one time only we'll grant you the refundNigger, I literally did not receive the product I gave you money for
>>748978207I'm pretty sure if a game receives enough backlash they offer some leniency. I remember they were giving a lot of players some leeway when it came to Cyberpunk during its launch because ultimately it was absolutely fucking broken on launch. I think they did the same with that one shitty Russian zombie extraction shooter that came out a while back as well since the devs blatantly scammed people.
>>748980072I don't piss around with that shit, I just do a chargeback
>>748980072When customer srvice is doing gay shit like that threaten a chargeback and they'll change their tune quick
>>748979961I legitimately don't think jeets can figure out how to torrent games given how many of them rely on Mega.nz downloads
I always forget how raped Americans are when it comes to refunds. The two hour window is made up bullshit by steam and the only thing that matters is the 14 day window here in the EU. Needing a reason for the refund is also fake and gay.Get some fucking consumer rights.
>>748980442I get refunds for alot of things though?
>>748974606If a game is atrociously bad for whatever reason steam does allow it, exception though not the rule.I wonder if they'd accept a "this game wastes 2 hours of your time to prevent refunds" refund.
>>748980442>Get some fucking consumer rightsThat's never going to happen until the orange business man is out of office
>>748980134>>748980173>Chargeback Don't they permanently ban your account (and all your games) if you do that?
>>748980676>>748980442but i just returned something today and got my money back
>>748980545Good.>>748980676Please. The orange man didn't take them away and you won't suddenly elect someone who'll give them to you.
>>748980442>the only thing that matters is the 14 day window here in the EU.Most singleplayer games can be completed within 14 days. Does this mean Euros can almost never actually pay for games?
>>748978779>with less than 2 days of playtimelel
>>748980713it's a scare tacticI've done charge backs on Steam and PSN before, accounts are still working
>>748973668I'm kinda sad, not sure what to play this month now.
>>748980781BasicallyIve refunded every game I've beaten so far
>>748980129ThisThe window is the baseline, but they'll absolutely be more generous with it if a game has extenuating factors, like a game obviously being broken or a scam, updates breaking functionality, the game itself being the kind of thing you can't digest in 2 hours, ect.Like, the most likely stinger to get someone using refunds in good faith is buying a game, not playing it for like a year, and then finding out it's shit/doesn't work after that. Even then, of the three games I've personally experienced this on, I got a refund for one of them anyways (it was a dollar fifty)
>>748973668yeah its pretty relaxed system so you are kinda stupid for not trying if a game doesn't work or you just don't like it during the first hour or so of playing
>>748980862think of some older game you always wanted to play but never got aroundthere is a good chance there is a pc version of it nowthis year alone i played twillight princess, metroid zero mission, banjo and silent hill 1 all on pc
>>748973668not only games I don't like
>>748982563kek what a dumb faggot. 100% deserved.
>>748975642Every single time somone complains about steam refunds its because of this kek>>748975852See he doesnt even deny it lmao fucking brownoids
>>748973668I refund games I like
>>748982563100% deserved. I don't even think all games have to be really long, but if I both finish it under two hours and know that I won't ever wanna play any part of it again; There's obviously no reason to keep it.
