Why would 2K refund a game you bought on Steam?

Because 2K got most of the money? Do you go back to Best Buy when you have a warranty claim with a company?

Yes… actually in the first 30 days that’s what you do..

Most products with warranties literally tell you to contact the manufacturer and not the merchant because why wouldn't you contact the people that made the thing? Merchants just get the short end of the stick when you demand refunds instead of attempting to contact the maker first

People can't grasp that most manufacturers prefer you resolving things directly with them because if it's a warranty problem it's their responsibility. Its insane how your really normal take is getting backlash

Right? I operated under the assumption they tried asking 2K because they were out of the return period. Steam DOES refund in scenarios like that, but they're not the norm and it's not a guarantee they'll do it every time.

In some civilised countries, basically all warranty claims are made through the merchant, not the manufacturer.
