You should've bought the discounted Ori first before refunding the OG Ori so you could be able to refund the discounted Ori if your first refund request of OG Ori wasn't approved by Valve.

Yeah, you can refund gifts as well. Should have bought it and let it sit in your inventory.

what game you bought it on price mistake and regret it ?

for me it was Evolve , 10$ ( it was $5 on Indonesian store , but people kept selling it for much higher )

You didn't get $10 worth of entertainment out of Evolve? Come on, son.

So is TF2 a fairly beginner-friendly game? I've never played a full match, but I'd like to at least try it out (obviously it's free, so I can just download it, but I'm curious).

It's always been beginner friendly. Just hop in and shoot and die a lot.

I played one match after the tutorial and just didn't care for it myself.

It just seemed like too steep a learning curve to just get to the point where you might have some fun

 

[fantomena]

Lol at Ori being the 2nd top seller. Dem price mistakes.

 

[Coreda]

Really bummed that I missed the Ori price mistake. I was walking on the beach with no phone. Serves me right I guess??

Well playing solo (I'm assuming) won't do you any good.

Okay, good. I'll give it a shot something soon, it's always looked like a blast.

nope , it was really boring
i kept it in my hard drive for 3-4 month , every week i see a 3-4 GB patch
those patches are very big
then i had to delete it

If the Ori money will be added to my wallet within the next 45h, I'll probably end up buying ARK :/

Pretty damn friendly. You'll kill a bunch and die a bunch but have fun all the way... well, at least that has been my experience. There are some tutorials for a bunch of classes and even some vids (I think) to describe the objective of certain game types.

Niiiiice. I'll try to win one of these giveaways. I held off during the summer sale in the name of the backlog but I later regretted it.

I knew he was trying to tell me something!

 

[Jawmuncher]

yeah but I can't imagine it's that much better playing with a group of folks in an organized fashion. It just didn't do anything for me.

But hey i did play through my .99 copy of Freedom Cry and that was a great pickup

the developer of ori has an account here on gaf ?

 

[paperspace]

Did they change anything regarding trading cards? May be something temporary but I noticed I haven't received any cards for a while.

I dont think so. Maybe youre thinking about the developer of Dust?

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

There seems to have been a change to card drop times as a result of the refund rules. Cards now appear to drop after the initial 2 hours of runtime instead of right off the bat. This way, users can't farm cards and get a refund. It was a quiet backend change, but people noticed this happening during the Summer Sale.

 

[PandaPedinte]

Did they change anything regarding trading cards? May be something temporary but I noticed I haven't received any cards for a while.

Yes. With the new refund system you need to "play" the games more than 2 hours to the cards start to drop.

 

[Hektor]

They only start dropping after 2 hours of idling/gametime now to prevent absues trough refunds.

Yeah. He posts in the Ori thread and he posted in the PSA thread.

Speaking of Card Drops, i have 8+ hours invested in Toukiden: Kiwami, and still missing my last card drop. Mayb the cards drop at 30fps too.

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.

Another Steam GAF user from Latin America *high five*

That seemed like the longest price mistake ever.

Perhaps it wasn't really a mistake, but then dev started seeing hundreds of refunds, and said OMG NOPE lol (j/k)

This definitely isn't intentional, guys. So I'm happy for everyone who got Ori at that price... but goddamn, I hope we'll be getting paid for this mess-up

oh, now i feel bad

I'll go and fix myself a drink now...

[Chariot]

Good job, Steam GAF. At least lashman had honour.

 

[ramoisdead]

Poor guy. I hope Valve can compensate the loss revenue due to the mistake. On the bright side, more people own it so there'll be more positive word of mouth.

 

[corrosivefrost]

His last two posts:

Apparently he doesn't realize that he basically just got advanced a bunch of sales -- people who wouldn't have bought until it was $5 anyway got it a year or two early, people who are generous gifted out copies that wouldn't have been sold at 40% off, and he's going to get some cut of all the market transactions from the trading cards.

Gotta look for those silver linings.

There might be some lost revenue, but there isn't necessarily lost revenue on every single sale he got.
I gave out 3 copies that I wouldn't have if it wasn't a price mistake.
Lashman gave out at least 2 copies.
There's several here who are giving copies via modbot.
The lower mistake price gave him a lot of sales he wouldn't have seen otherwise, without a doubt.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

I wasn't ever going to pick it up for more than $5 anyhow so he's just getting my $5 sooner than he expected.

you forgot about the people who refund the game and bought at cheaper price
this is a lose for them

 

[Sajjaja]

Yeah yall should feel bad and give me a copy of Ori at full price as recompense.

 

[GaussTek]

I'm more worried about the Steam refunds system, some people here got an almost instant refund EVEN if they bought Ori more than two weeks ago? :/

I mean, if they are still going to issue refunds for more than two week old purchases, shouldn't that at least go to a deeper review or something?
