MediaKick: "“Built for the digital consumer,” Kaz Hirai mused when he unveiled the PSP Go back in E3 2009. This represented a significant step in the direction of a digital only future for games and other entertainment media, or so Kaz Hirai and the rest of Sony hoped. In reality, the PSP Go only served to show the word that we are not ready for a digital only future just yet, or if we as consumers even want one, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be at some stage."

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.
Well digital is great. I personally have over 200 games with Steam, most of them were bought very cheaply. Due to the PC platsforms BC i get to keep all of them for a very very long time. I am currently shifting home, i dont have to worry about shifting 200 odd boxes. While this is all good in the PC market. I would think this is also due to the fact we have alot of competition in the PC digital market of the top of my head Steam, D2D, Gamersgate, GOG, GFWL, Origin, all of these constantly give discounts to promote the prices of digital games on the PC.
On consoles however i do see digital only as a gloomy future, which will further place further control in the hands of the console makers (which really isnt a good thing), already they completely control the machines. If consoles were to go digital, it would mean Sony would hold complete sales control on PSN and MS would hold complete control for XBL with no one else to compete on those networks. MS and Sony might as well set prices and not bother with discounts since there wont be anyone competing with them. Hence i personally dont like a digital only future for consoles.
For a home console digital only is a no go.
For handhelds I'd say yea. In fact I'd even go as far as to say we need a cloud based handheld console. It would make gaming on the go so much more convenient. I was hoping the Vita would go this route.
