Just realized the magnitude of this thread and wow..., gods be praised this is the first post I can make but I <3 the GAF community already!
Steam Summer Sale 2015 thread of refunding everything you buy (June 11-21)
- Thread starter JaseC
- Start date
It'll probably be granted within a day but the processing time to actually have the money to you is a bit long, so it'll probably actually be back in your hands after it goes back up.

Let me see if it's even playable first, lol. My 270x should be okay but I'm on a Phenom II X4 955. It has surprised me against many naysayers plenty of times, like running Inquisition on ultra, but I hear this one is very CPU heavy and I've had trouble with some simulators.
Welcome!
If you think this thread is big, you should have seen some of the previous Steam sale threads. This is tiny in comparison.
Is Banished that good? Looks pretty interesting to me, at least from the screens I've seen.

Anyone looking for a good same-room multiplayer party game should pick up the Jackbox Party Pack. Each player uses their own smartphone or tablet as a controller. It supports 1-100 players, depending on the game. It's a ton of fun and I highly recommend it. It's worth it for Fibbage alone.

Hmm, I really want The Crew, but 50% off isn't all that great IMO. I've heard enough things about it (mainly about the handling and some mission types) that I might go either way about enjoying it or not, and $30 is a bit much to take that chance.
I wish I had an XB1 or PS4 since they apparently have demos for the game. I was only able to find a leaked demo version of the PC version, but I don't want to risk getting a virus from some shady site just to try this game out, haha.

I mentioned this in the community steam thread but I think it's more relevant here.
What the hell is going on with the Lost Planet 2 sale, it's been going on and off sale seemingly at random.
The sale was listed on the 12th I think as running through the 22nd for 60% off on lost planet 2. But an hour after it was set back at full price, on sunday they seemed to have fixed it for a bit but since then it has been sitting at full price.
I managed to snag it on sunday but since LP2 is a 4 player co-op experience I wanted to convince some friends to get it, but it's hard to convince anyone to buy it at full price and I wanna play co-op!!!
WHY IS THIS HABBENING

We didn't have two open Steam threads in the past, if you add them up....
Because it was a mistake, LP2 doesn't usually go on sale anymore.

Picked up Skyrim LE for 10.19 and METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE (in ALL CAPS!) for 4.99.
I am correct in assuming that Skyrim alone will keep me busy for a little while, yes?

Yeah, that's true. Forgot about that.
Ever since the Steam thread slipped into community, I kind of forgot about it. I should start posting in there again.
Vanilla kept me going for 200+ hrs.
That depends on your nature. If you like it well enough and if you actively explore, it'll keep you busy all right, for a long time. I think I've clocked close to a thousand hours into Skyrim, over multiple playthroughs of course.

Does Final Fantasy VII have the PS1 music on Steam?
Thanks. I might pick it up, and add it to my (nigh) infinite backlog.
In other news, what does everyone think about Wizorb and Hero Siege?

If it doesn't get any cheaper on sale, indiegala has it on sale at 50% the price for 5 days and some time. So just after the end of the regular summer sale, if you still haven't seen it, you can purchase there of $30 USD.
Here you go: https://www.indiegala.com/store/product/239140
Pretty much a guarantee that this is the best discount you will get. Screw Steam with its new found penchant for miserly discounts.

Is Ground Zeros worth $5? I hear it's pretty short.

I put 11 hours into it and my friend put 20.
Do you plan on buying MGSV Day 1 this Fall? Then yes. Buy it.
It's definitely worth it. It plays and looks great. It's how MGS should've always been played.

It didn't look like a mistake, LP1, LP2 and LP3 were all discounted for different amounts so it doesn't look like it was hit by some blanket 60% off deal.
But if you're right then that's a real damn shame.

I've been picking up some older stuff like Shadow Warrior Redux (old favorite updated) and System Shock 2 for a buck each. Also Skullgirls for about $5 w/dlc. Topnotch stuff that had sales like Ys Origin and Witcher 2 I already had from the last sale. Also rebought Valkyria Chronicles for $5 after my only requested refund went through, due to cheaper price (and it eas one of the few titles I had not yet started).
Thank you both - I was going to go with G2A but they seem slightly dodgy (despite my having used them a few times before) and it's only a saving of $5.
Never use G2A period. Never advocate for its use. Never mention it on GAF, so people don't realize it's a viable option.
Developers don't see money from your purchase, there is a chance the purchase will be removed from your account.
It's a lose/lose.

Company of Heroes 2 on the daily today costs as much as it did when I got it April last year.
I notice this as a trend with non-indies. They definitely have a bottom level where they won't go more than 75% off and the regular price doesn't drop if there is no sequel out.

Absolutely. There's more depth than you'd think. Certainly not simply a 'demo' for Phantom Pain.
Thank you to Teppic for providing me with a code!
Done.

So, the market for Summer Cards has tanked.

So what's the turnaround time on refunds, for anyone else that's gone through the process?
I bought Ground Zeroes for $10 earlier in the sale and had 5 hours of playtime in it since then, but I thought I'd try to do the "It's available cheaper" refund option despite being over 2 hours because, what is there to lose, really?
They approved the refund almost instantly and I went and bought it again for $5, but it says I'll get the original $10 "within 7 days."
It's only 10 bucks, but I'd like to have it available before the sale's over, ya know?

Seems like roughly 3 days, at least with Steam wallet. Not sure with other refund methods.

As above, also about 3 days for the one refund to wallet I did.

Thanks for the heads up! I might grab that if steam doesnt drop any lower.
I want this eventually. I think it's been cheaper in the past.
No, but you can easily replace sound files.
i cant even get cards via purchases so i guess i can level up my badge this way..
