At this point it is cheaper for Steam to just grant refund automatically for everyone who asks for it.

Doesn't the GDPR include a 2 week period for digital products, regardless of the usage? I always refund crap without issues.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

In France we have that but they require you waive your right to this when you buy something

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Isn't that illegal? In the Netherlands it sure is.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Nope that’s perfectly legal and intended, as it’s not applicable for these types of products

Yeah, I tried that. Unless you are playing with friends the community is really awful. They fell into the same min/max, “kick all new players” that other games fell into. It’s not worth buying.

yo fuck that, personally I have always had wonderful experiences online to the point that I rarely if ever play singleplayer instead of jumping into a match with randos. Im sorry people werent more chill and willing to have fun playing with you, it definitely goes against the spirit of the game and those people should know better honestly.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it honestly took me back. Gave it a shot single player and had some fun. Tried the multiplayer and the first game had two people drop so it didn’t work out.

The rest of them I got kicked from. “Kick Noob”. Yeah, sorry I don’t have exact weapon X with Y build, can we just play? No? Ok. Uninstall time.

Damn, most my experience has been running around the home base like an idiot with random strangers that don't even necessarily have their mics while we all make our characters drunk as shit and dance. Eventually the game happens at some point.

I requested a refund a few days ago with 2.1 hours played. Still don’t have it, so hopefully they’ll get around to it

Edit - they denied me because I bought it over 2 weeks ago.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

I've heard you need to keep pestering them, you probably got automatically denied. Like escalate to a person and people have had to ask 5 times before they got it with over 200 hours played.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

At that point, it probably starts costing steam more money in support agents.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago

Joined the flow. Asked for a refund just now

Praise our Lord Gaben (Daniel) may valve forever more be a private corporation fuck the stock market fuck you Logan Rosson & your brothers (market) effectiveness. Fyi they both live in Utah so gettem

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Um, who are those people? And what does any of this have to do with Utah? Arrowhead (the studio behind Helldivers) is based in Sweden, Valve is based in WA, and Sony's American division is in NY.

I live in Utah, but I don't know who you're asking me to "get"...

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago

The idea of Valve ever becoming a public corp ranks higher in my lists of fears than being eaten alive by zombies

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Or at least have it transition into a cooperative or employee owned in his will

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If the corporate cultures changes for the worse and they hire greedy people that could also shift into the negative.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

It’s a much slower change than a single executive wanting a bigger payout yesterday.
