How have you been utilizing Steam Refunds?

I once bought Devil Daggers for full price (only $4.99), simply changed my mind about that decision, and got a refund. Later, I got it from a $1 bundle, and I almost feel bad because it turned out to be really good.

I don't think I've refunded anything else. I don't make purchases directly from the Steam store unless I'm reasonably sure about them. My impulse buys are all from bundle sites, so I can't refund them via Steam and probably wouldn't bother to get my spare change back even if I could. I'm not sure what's wrong with you guys who impulse-buy $50 shit but I guess it's good for you that the refund policy exists.

If I cant Alt-F4 from a videogame that's auto-refund for me.

I've been refunding games if they dont run well on my system, but that was last year, I havent bought any games since the release of RE2.

fuck you steam refund users

you ruined steam flash sales

I refunded fall guys after realizing what it was

cry more ya dumb bitch

What "games" have you beaten entirely under 2 hours and then refunded immediately?

Feels good doing it every time.

if I'm worried that a new game is too stronk for my pc I use steams refund system to check first before I pirate it :)

Personally I think steam refunds is great. I treat every game as a demo. I have refunded 100s of games

based

>I have refunded 100s of games
Fucking based

I'd rather pay less for games at a discount through third party sites. Utilizing steam's refunds is basically an extra premium cost at this point

Do they refund you in steam bucks or directly to your bank account?

I refunded PUBG because they made vehicles as hazardous as they are in real life, so they're not fun at all and got me killed multiple times. Call me filtered all you want, I didn't waste money on a game I don't like in the end.

I have, yes.

I'd probably do that if my goal in playing video games were just to finish as many of them as possible for some autistic checklist on Backloggery or whatever site you people use.

If I finish a game in under 2 hours and it's good, I'll keep it, because I might want to play it again. And if the game isn't good, then I wouldn't bother to finish it.

Based, I do the same
All the pros of pirating with none of the cons

I think they can do either.

Bank/CC

>Bought ck3
>copied the steam files
>refunded ck3
> the copied files still run the game
>Paradox didn't ad any DRM

What the fuck where they fucking thinking

only once for beam ng

They can refund directly to your bank account but it takes much longer than getting it in steam bucks. Last time I refunded a game on steam it took almost two weeks for the funds to show up in my account.

When this happened, and their window was practically unlimited as long as you purchased before they enacted this, I refunded games about 12 games that I hardly played because they ended up being complete shit.

Also, for anyone who doesn't know, and fell for an Early Access meme, keep an eye out for when it actually releases. The window for refunds resets when it leaves EA and you an refund it within two weeks.

Pirating doesn't require money and doesn't force you to treat every game as a demo
With steam refunds you're basically putting a deposit on a game rental for up to 2 hours of playtime within 14 days of buying it.

>buy game on sale
>boot it up 3 weeks later
>game won't fucking work, it's a common issue on forums with a fucklong work around
>steam kikes won't refund me

They were thinking its pointless since you can just download the steam files without needing to buy and refund it. You might as well pirate it since your legally purchased steam copy won't work with DLC unless you either pirate it or rebuy the game.

>buy game
>play for an hour
>not fun
>ask for refund

> buy game on sale
> wait until it's back to regular price
> refund said game
> literally infinite money

I refunded Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishment after the first story because the mechanic for deciding the killer(s) is fucking retarded. 2.5 hours, got the refund.

I refunded Hades yesterday because after I closed the game, I realized that it would turn me into a dopamine junkie and I'd be getting very little actual satisfaction. Got the refund after 2.9 hours.

Why wouldn't you just boot it up immediately? It doesn't take 3 weeks to download games from steam.

I've been refunding a lot lately and every time the email says that they've noticed that and they'll cut me off if I'm abusing it, but will they ever actually do it?

One time I returned dead island because it ran bad on my 750 ti.

What games don't let you Alt-F4? I didn't know they could stop you from doing that.

This is a joke post, right? There's no way someone is actually this stupid.

Didn't they change that policy with Early Access games?

I assume it's a troll physics format but that's a dead joke.

I've only used it a couple times. Once for Persona 4. I bought the deluxe version or whatever it is, realized it was shitty and low effort, refunded it and bought the standard version at a discount on Fanatical.

Another time was the Atelier Dusk collection. No real reason, honestly. I just realized when I bought it that I would have literally no time to play them, so I refunded them and just waited for the summer sale.

I used to refund a lot more until I VPN'd my account to Argentina, so I can pay in their worthless currency. Now I'm worried I'll get flagged for abusing regional pricing.

You'd be surprised

I refund games all the time. Saved me hundreds from shitty purchases.

I think it's not possible to alt-f4 from bethesda games, but you are right, it's a rare occurance but it does happen.

If I play an hour and hate it I'll refund. Haven't done that for about a year though.

>I didn't know they could stop you from doing that.
Stop what? Alt-F4 is not some magic OS command that force kills an application. It just sends a message to the application. The application is free to ignore that message same as they can ignore any other messages from the OS like copy and paste.

Last game I did this with was a game that came out three years ago, so it's entirely possible. The reason why I assumed it worked in the first place is because the end product out of Early Access could be a different game entirely, and the final patch will usually be a gatekeeper for end game content that devs wanted to save for full release. Turns out in this case the devs couldn't deliver, and I got my refund precisely because I didn't get what was promised.

It actually works, I made thousands of dollars doing this in the early days of steam refunds before they patched it.

Bought My Friend Pedro when it came out.
Beat it in 2 hours.
Refunded it. Fun game, but the scores weren't enough for me to replay it.

Refunded a bunch of games on the day this happened.
Good shit.
Also Australian consumer law dictates I can demand a refund for any game that does not function as advertised, no matter how long it's been since I bought it.

>buy game
>install it on secondary dual boot drive
>run it in offline mode for two weeks, play the game completely
>wipe the install
>ask for a refund
>repeat

Only game I got refunded was Skater XL because it wasn't very good.

I rarely buy games I know I won't like.

>game doesn't support Alt-F4
>game locks in loading screen
>Alt-Tab and Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't change focus away from the game
