Steam has a long history of refusing to comply with ACL.
It was a convenient excuse for them to say "Not our problem, contact the publisher" and the publisher being all "We didn't sell it to you, Steam did".
I've tried getting refunds for clearly broken games, but Steam gave their usual b.s response.
After the ACCC win, Steam came back with a "Sorry you played it for more htan 2 hours". Which for a whole bunch of games is barely getting started.
- josefx 6y agoFor most games it is enough to see if it is playable without being able to finish the game. A lot of games can be finished over a weekend so a prolonged test period would just ask to be abused. No Mans Sky was especially evil since it would take a bit of time to leave the first planet and see that all the promised features weren't implemented.
