      Yeah idk if its nostalgia or wut.

      In my head, the sales were much deeper like you say, but I could be wrong.

      I also miss when the sale would start and there’d be a minigame or some type of event. They’ve really been streamlining a lot of stuff though I think to reduce network traffic maybe, or maybe they haven’t had the time for events when they are redesigning their whole client and steamos and stuff.

        discounts were much deeper. because devs/publishers were more willing to give a 90% discount to their newer games if it was for 2/4 hours.

        I’ve only had 3 refunds.

        2 on the old system, 1 on the new system.

        All were accepted and refunded, because all were for technical issues that made them literally, factually unplayable… and probably because in 10 years of steam I’ve only had 3 refunds.

        So Yes, because it wouldnt change anything for me.

        Yes because by the time I actually get passed the character creator or the introduction I’ve usually already used up my time

          Well, the refund policy has only existed 10 years now. Well in it’s current form. Previously refunds were much harder to get.

          they were easy to get if the game was a scam or if you had serious unresolvable technical issues, but not so easy if you just impulse bought a game and regretted it.

          Australia sued Valve due to their refund policy and Valve changed the refund policy to what it is today.
