[QUOTE=Catse;47883298]wait a sec does this mean all single player games will be free from now on? just unplug internet so it doesnt register your time spent in-game and then get a refund?[/QUOTE]
I'm not sure why you are getting disagrees. It's morally completely wrong and something I would never do, but yes you probably can play games with steam in offline mode and then request a refund through your browser before logging back into steam so the server does not register the time in-game. Hopefully they've thought of this scenario and will e.g. disallow refunds if any devices are in offline mode.

How would they know though?
I'm really curious how they will prevent people from disconnecting their Internet, launching a game and playing it for 13 days straight then claiming a refund from another device with the timer still showing 0.

it can still log the hours in a file when you're offline

Of course, but it wouldn't show on your online account unless you actually reconnected to the internet

how would you request a refund while not connected to the internet?
[QUOTE=NixNax123;47895467]how would you request a refund while not connected to the internet?[/QUOTE]
From another device I'd imagine.
I don't think there's anything preventing you from logging in from somewhere else while offline, is there?
[QUOTE=Jodern;47895454]Of course, but it wouldn't show on your online account unless you actually reconnected to the internet[/QUOTE]
I don't think the time updates even if you reconnect internet, at least if you exit the game before reconnecting.

I'm pretty sure you have to request a refund while online on steam so I don't know how that'd work
All I want is to be able to refund this piece of shit:

Download game, go offline, wipe everything before you request a refund.
Why even go through all that effort? Just download a crack if you are going to cheat the system.

I bought a gift version of The Forest for someone who proceeded to buy it on the same day so I requested a refund. I was told because I had personally played two hours of it, the gift copy in my inventory could not be refunded, despite the fact the gift had not been sent or used and was only 4 days old.
The process apparently is not automated but there was a lapse in quality control when a damp sock was the decision maker for my refund.
make a steam support request and explicitly mention the gift in your inventory

I got a refund for it back in the day
I just got an email saying that they accepted my refund request of a TF2 taunt i bought like 3 months ago :v:
Well shit. Tried to Request a $30 USD refund of Arma 2: Combined Operations from September 2012.
Was lulled into getting it by a friend, it turned out ass and didn't work right (some strange gameplay functions were broken, idk why)
Said it was past the 6 month limit for them to even have a look at it, so that sucks.

Which is about 1/4 of that list
The rest are already gifted, for them to be refunded, recipient would need to enable refunding for that application

What's the story behind this?
[QUOTE=itisjuly;47904881]What's the story behind this?[/QUOTE]
Game came out and was a buggy mess
Devs took the money and ran
Steam took the game off the store
[video]http://youtube.com/watch?v=cPUToCNq-iA[/video]
A solid video even if people don't like TB.
He also went around and asked a lot of Indie Devs about their comment and possible sale figures.
Great:
