Good move, I dare say! Valve probably figured that they could stack their money higher than Mount Everest and figured it was okay to allow a few refunds.

About time.

Now, all the lol games and piss simulators will hopefully slowly start to die away

Benefits of the system

• Games that do not work from PC or developer failure can be refunded.
• Bad games can be refunded and developers feel the pain
• People who buy unity asset pack resales can rescue their wallets
• People who buy them keys and do not want them can save their wallets.
• People can buy bad games, play for a hour, say how bad it is and get a refund because it is bad.
• You can now get your money back instead of having that shit game sit on your library, sitting there... Mocking you...
• All good!

Disadvantages of the system

• I don't even know.

​Disadvantage: The money you spent goes into the steam system. You'll never get your money back, only "store credit"

​You horrible human being, why would you wanna do that? That's game of the fucking year every year right there, how dare you talk shit about a classic masterpiece?

​Not true! You can get refunded to your credit card. I've already tried this.

It's cool, but I wonder if they'll make exceptions for games that are actually under 2 hours long.

​Yeah, a colleague of mine actually thought about this. How long is Dear Esther for example? That's kind of close to home cause it was made by a corebro.

​This. There are games that are very short (and obviously cost a lot less). Some maybe be able to beat or almost beat the game and do a refund.

They should put a disclaimer that you can't ask for refund if you completed the game. It'd be fairly easy to check as well I think.

plus: people should just provide demos.

Could we even profit? If you ask refund from games from Humble Bundle, they can't know how much you paid. I usually actually steer all money toward the devs of the couple games I buy the pack for.

Same applies to greenman etc, if you buy discount… maybe works only for stuff bought through steam?
