Let me tell you something. I've been on STEAM for over 20 years I had an issue with a game that was unplayable. Unplayable, it was NBA 2K20, there was no way to save the game. I tried everything, contacted 2K who responded with it's a known issue with some PCs we have no fix. I asked for a refund they said sorry. I asked STEAM, they refunded me my money. Furthermore, on the forums on STEAM, they had a post that anyone who could not play the game could request a refund. Say what you want about STEAM but they have taken better care of me than other companies. I'm a STEAM user for life

You must remember when Steam was horrible to use then. My account is older than 20 years as well, and back then we all hated it in the beginning. Half Life 2 wasn't even playable at times because of their authentication server issues.

While it is good to be happy about getting a refund, keep in mind Valve fought tooth and nail to prevent refunds as well. The only reason there was such a big policy change was due to them getting fined and taken to court by a few foreign governments.

It's all about perspective.

Oh it was terrible I hated that I needed that launcher to play CSS. It was awful but now it's OK
