I asked for a refund earlier with this note (the game is an early access twin-stick called Noct in case you were wondering), but I'm not sure how refunds work.
Who looks at them? Just valve?
Can the dev see them?
Can the dev reject or approve them?
Do the devs at least see how many total successful and unsuccessful refund requests were performed?
Also, general steam refunds related thread

If you bought it less than two weeks ago, and played less than two hours you're basically guaranteed a refund. If you go over either of those two limits you're fucked.
Oh fuck off.
Never got a refund rejected with a short justification and "it's not fun" as a reason, but I always submit before two hours and I do it sparingly.
Probably, if only as cancellation of revenue.
Hell no. It's clearly handled by steam support and it would be fucktarted if it was the devs since they could always answer "nah".
I'm going to suppose it works like the amazon kindle marketplace, in which I see the number of ebooks sold, followed by the number refunded. Just a guess though.
I had 3 hours on the game, fam
That's rude, I was just putting an avenue for potential steam refund related discussions in case anyone was unsure so nobody accuses them of derailing the thread.
Back to cuckchan with you nigger. Nice digits though.
We don't need a general thread for steam or refunds, and Holla Forums is not google. Also I didn't open your pic before posting the first time, but now I can be sure you're a raging faggot who has to go back.
I will have you know I was born in this country and I am a proud patriot, good sir.
Protip they don't actually read whatever you put as reason, they only look at time played and time from purchase and then discard your wall of text
Everything about your posting and that image reeks of pseudointellectual redditor. Kill yourself OP.
Seems like a good place to find constructive criticism for games is what they say in the refund notes. If I were a game dev I would definitely want to see those, seems like they would be really helpful
Why dont devs offer a warranty to protect against bad gameplay and future balance patches?
This way cucks who dont know shit are still protected and in the majority of cases it just gives them more money - but you have the option to choose
Why isnt there an internet/distribution fee or tax on digital goods, a la environmental fees when you buy electronics?
paying up front for potential future refunds (no questions asked), sounds retarded and like it would be exploited like crazy once people get bored of a game, they can just refund it immediately and get all their money back and buy a different one, and the company would lose so much money.

What a pussy, a real man doesn't dab. A real man bowflexes (or whatever this is called).
I don't even have a reddit account
also, notice the dabbing mona lisa
Yeah we get it, you're a little bitch who doesn't belong anywhere near any person with actual real testosterone.
IIRC when game comes out of early access you can still refund it even if you had more than 2 hours during early access time, that was what happened with KF2, wasn't it?
OP is an attentionwhoring faggot. Do not reply to this post.
I'm gonna reply anyway.
same
You post like a faggot and you use steam, but I repeat myself. Since you're a clueless fuck on how to get refunds, I would encourage you to:
A) Read the Steam refund policy
B) Make sure you fall under it.
C) Follow proper protocol for refunds.
If you want to beg refunds off of a developer since you fail at B, you don't write some bullshit fedora-tipping trash, you just explain that you think the game is shit / flawed product / does not live up to expectations / you had zero fun playing it and you ask for your refund. If you live in the EU I think you have a more generous refund policy than Valve's usual policy because of the EU's socialist laws forcing them to have an actual refund policy. That's about it. Now please learn to use fucking search engines or click around on the fuck help pages on the steam website instead of trying to make a dogshit general begging for refunds off of Steam of all things. If you must go e-distributor, go use fucking GOG. They don't saddle you with DRM and they have an overwhelmingly superior refund policy.
Saging for fedora-tipping OP and steamshit. Remember: It's not a sage. It's a downvote.

SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE Holla Forums
To discuss things without cliques and dick sucking that forums have?
Hopefully a mod gives Heerofag the Ritsu treatment.
The river of anonymity will wash away all the bullshit.
You can play the game however long you want and refund it as long as the two weeks aren't up IF you trick steam into not recording your playtime.
tbh I thought it was blindingly obvious I was joking around but I thought he was just playing along with it.
Since its AAA devs its not that bad. But if you did that shit to indies, it would be pretty despicable downright evil.
Kek, I wish.
Depends on the indie.
I think that tax is called paying for an internet connection. Think of it like this, if you're paying for a faster connection it's like paying for express shipping.
How many times I can buy, play for 2hours50minutes and refund?
Their terms are vague. If they think you're abusing the system you'll get in trouble, but they also accept people refunding a game if a sale for the game started right after they bought it, so they could buy it for the cheaper price.
It's just pirating with more effort put into it. Nothing he does is rare or new.
...
are you fucking autistic or something
just write "it wasn't fun and this is why: blah blah blah. can i have my money back thanks"
Stop.
Technically zero, the rule is LESS than two hours. 1 hour 59 minutes max.
name one indie studio besides croteam that isn't cancer.
One of these days I'm going to make a quality thread. Unlike OP.
Bullshit, that refund policy they have is completely meaningless. They are obligated by law to give you a refund, if they deny you the refund all you have to do is bring up the court case they lost and threaten legal action.
Case closed.
Best hop to it instead of downvoting.
It felt good
There's a game I bought a couple years ago that literally doesn't work at all. I tried refunding it and gave "I strongly dislike EA" as my reason like an idiot I had heard the reason didn't matter as long as you hadn't played it very long It was denied, of course but I wonder if I explained in detail the reason I can't play it they would give me a refund this time?
Not entirely. Your chances are very slim, but depending on your wording, you MIGHT get a chance to get a refund. Had a game once that I bought, and then my brother ended up in the hospital, so I didn't get to play it until a month after I bought it. Told them I hadn't gotten a chance to play it until then, and they gave me a refund.
You should be able to refund any game that has left EA. Doesn't matter when you bought it or how many hours you played. I refunded Battle Brothers when it came out of EA and I'd had around 50 hours played.

Hopoo.
