STEAM | July 2015 - Nothing To Buy With Our Arkham Knight Refunds

For you.
Yikes and it still isn't fixed. At least they weren't pulling an Activision with VtMB and screw people who bought it during the summer sale. Does Valve do anything to compensate developers when they screw up like this?
If it's Valve fault im sure they would pay the full intended price .
Could very well be someone at Microsoft pressing the wrong numbers though.

Sweet! Got my refund! That was quick, took less than 30 minutes. Maybe they're lenient if you haven't refunded before?

Trying to refund it through the browsers didn't work, but rather simple to request a refund through the Steam Client itself. Just starts with the Help menu.

Forgot to say thanks so much for posting this!

Likely price mistake + everyone refunding now. Starting to feel bad for the devs :/

Oh yeah, I forgot that Microsoft published it, keep going! lol :p

I have 6 hours playtime logged on Ori (I idled it for cards) and bought it in the summer sale.

Even worth bothering trying to refund it? =/

edit: nvm then, it's fixed.

Aren't pricing errors usually fixed within minutes? At least I've been missing every single one so far

Getting a sense that the publisher messed up and not Valve. Being that MS is the publisher, trying to find the right people to fix this mess is probably a lot harder than if it was self published or published by a smaller pub.

Your purchase has been refunded

YES! :D



It was available for me and my purchase is 18 days old.

Awww shiet son!! Refund went through, pretty much with immediate effect too. Valve knows ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Quickly re-bought with that dirty righteous refund money.

Thank you based Gaben <3



Great! Now the devs have earned lesser money from their game :)
And now the deal has ended

TIP for future: Buy at (glitched) price before asking for refund as a gift.

This way you can't miss it. If your refund doesn't get approved, you can still get refund for new copy or trade it.

Thought that would look sketchy as hell but they actually give you that "it's available cheaper" option during the refund process which I didn't know before

I'll definitely do that next time

I actually won something :D Tnx for Ori Lain (I know that you said no thank you messages but rules are made to be broken sometimes :p)
 
Ori looks really weird, unless I'm crazy some of the background stuff is framerate limited but most of the animations of the locked at 30?

I totally should try winning from ModBot and then refund the price mistake. But I won't.

It'll be a gift, you need the buyer's permission an it'll go to him, not you.


You misunderstood him. He means he bought the game now, himself, and he is saying if he won he could just refund that initial purchase :p

Ahh makes more sense xD
Given his previous comments I thought he had purchased it previously
I don't read german

Has the game gotten any better? I've had it on my account forever now and the last time I bothered to fire it up, it was an absolute trainwreck.

Well, I can't tell until tomorrow. Heard good things though and it looked good in the footage of the recent build I looked at. What were your problems with the game?

2TB is still a hefty price tag for SSD. I want a SSD, but I hate managing disk space even more than I want a SSD.

For like a quarter the cost of that 2TB SSD, you could get a 128GB or even 256GB SSD for OS & key programs, and a 3-4TB HDD for Steam + Media + random stuff that always accumulates and fills up my damn PC.

Just imagine. 3 weeks after AssCreed Syndicate's release, 2 million copies sold on steam and a price error -99%. I can taste Guillemot's tears already.

If I had 1k to burn, I know what I'd burn it on (ShindoL Patreon, not some shitty 2TB SSD). Sadly, or luckily, I don't have 1k to burn.

I bought Ori, Chroma Squad and that sim pack with the price mistakes. Y'all too slow.
I'm not even that interested in Ori. Too bad my copy is region locked to Latin America.
