some people use steam refunds to essentially demo a game. if the game doesn't catch their interest within 1 hour, they just refund it

kinda sheisty but I get it :francis:

How is that sheisty :gucci: in most instances of commerce you get to try before you buy, why in videogames are you just supposed to hold your L if you bought some shyt you didn't like? If they wanted to avoid buyer's remorse refunds they should drop a demo or stfu.




Now I'll tell you what IS sheisty. GameStop had a policy on used games where you had like a week or 2 to return them for a full refund. I don't know if they've changed it since but for YEARS I was running through single player games and beating them inside the return window and would just get all my money back :manny: only reason I stopped doing it is because i completely bushed all forms of physical media; haven't bought a videogame disc since 360.


People would buy games new day 1, and within the week they would return it (holding their L and getting less than half of what they paid), thereby rendering me a used copy to eat for free :mjlol: I felt like I found a real life hack with that shyt. A lotta suckers were sacrificed in the name of Broke Boy Gaming.

I've been BBG way before the acronym

I'm definitely more willing to refund games then I used to be. There are some games back in the day I wish I did refund as soon as I realized the issues they had.

Yeah but I wouldn’t call it abuse.

If a game is trash, I’m refunding. I don’t play games with the system though. It’s strictly transactional. I don’t even ask for cash, I’ll fukk with steam credit :yeshrug:

Not their fault the game wasn’t up to par.

I never pulled that move on Gamestop but there was a guy on this site a few years back that essentially gave you coupon for something like 60% off games if you gave him 10 bucks. I forget how it worked but you could essentially get full priced games for 25 or 30 bucks after all the transactions had been made. I ate off that for 2 or 3 years until dude disappeared. LOL.

I did it the first week they implemented it , then stopped.

I think I requested one game for refund on issues even getting it to start.

Otherwise I just have a backlog of stuff I've never played.
