Discover the latest news from Bloober Team: they are working on 2 new games, including a new IP in partnership with Private Division.
Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected
Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.
I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol
Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.
Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.
Speaking about overgeneralizing much.
Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.
Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?
You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.
Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.
I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.
I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.
A job listing published by the UK studio reveals that its next project will be another entirely new IP.
Dayum did I hit a nerve. Sorry for not liking most of this gens games coming from PS, not really doe.
Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.
Can't help but feel people will mess around with these assets and end up importing them into S&box, probably recreated for certain modes at least.
"Tons of never before seen maps, models, PSDs & VMFs, everything," writes TF2 content creator Richter Overtime(opens in new tab). "Once the community finishes digesting this (61GB), there will be nothing else to talk about. This is the last official TF2 content drop you or I will ever see."
Oof. They didn't have to do us like that.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but the biggest leak in Valve’s history was in the early 2000’s where they had to recreate Half Life 2 because the game was stolen and leaked online.
Well. they havent made a game in ages so others might as well mess around with the assets.
