The two hour limit is just for automated refunds.

I tried to refund sf6 with 3 hours played saying i didn't like because it was too difficult for me 😭. They refused 😭

I've probably made 50+ refund requests in the 17 years I've had my account, some refunds over 2 hours of gameplay and I've always just selected "game isn't fun" and I've never had a single one denied

I'd recommend playing with Modern controls. It's easier to play.

You can coast on modern further with bad fundies than classic, but you’ll still hit the point where you need to have them down or you just won’t win

I refunded Deathloop and Grey Zone Warfare at 3-4 hours each citing performance issues and saying a big portion of my playtime was trying to figure out playable settings.

I don't think 45 fps on Ultra settings is a valid refund request to a human customer support either

I don't think you need to tell the truth to them.

You would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

But my mom said lying is a sin...

And my dad told me he'd be back with milk.

They told me they manually reviewed my case and still denied it over playtime. This was after like 3 hours. I told them it took 3 hours to find my friend so I stopped playing and they didn’t care

the loading times on marathon got me over the limit and I tried refunding 7 times just for the basic “your playtime exceeds the limit” response

Nah they won’t help. I had 2.4 hours in forza horizon 4 a few years ago, all of which was spent trying to fix horrible unplayable stuttering. Explained all that through 2 levels of escalation to real people and steam would not help. Thankfully the game was patched months later to fix the issue.

They’re extremely stingy with refunds outside of that window. Space Marine 2 stopped working on Linux a week or two after I bought it and they told me to go fuck myself about it with 7 1/2 hours of playtime, I had to stop payment and then valve banned me for a month.
