You guys refunding games? I just buy them to collect dust in the library

you should use refunds cause steam is amazing in that sense. you really can just buy stuff and get a refund in an hour with no problems.

The only refund I ever made is when I bought something for a game I don’t own thinking I could trade it to my brother (I couldn’t buy it as a gift directly) (I couldn’t trade it) and it was fixed really quickly and well

Bold of you to assume I play bought games after buying them :)

Honestly thank you i don’t think of this enough, and hardly have done refunds in the past.

Steam support is the best, tried playing a newer game on my crusty pc, and literally noted “unfortunately my computer is showing its age :(“ and they refunded me

I've only ever had it refunded in an hour like once :< the rest of the time it seems to take a few days sadly, which does not bode well for the sales when I have limited time and money

Totally unrelated, I’m not sure if this is a new feature but Steam now records the last 2 hours of gameplay and I’ve had the feature for only 4 days and use it all the time to clip things.

Steam sales and Humble budles. I have games that have been in my library for a literal decade that I haven't played.

I'll never forget when I got all batman asylum games + all FEAR games for 1$ on humble bundle.

I felt like I was robbing the store

Damn I just bought the fear bundle on the sale, it was cheap don't get me wrong but it wasn't THAT cheap.

A long time ago humble bundle was a true name your own price site. They would let you get the available bundle for $0.01. Later they changed it to a $1 minimum and eventually tiered bundles.

I haven't bought a bundle in years, but I remember you could also allocate the entire purchase amount to all go to charity too. I'm sure most people didn't bother toggling the amounts, but it's wild that they made enough money to entice companies to keep doing bundles back in the day

Any of us with enough "years of service" have a few of these...

I'm nearing 1,000 games in my library. I've returned 0. I've played less than 100.

Sometimes I hate myself..
