That should be illegal IMO. You are forced to subscribe after you paid.

- cube2222 4y agoNo, you're not. You're forced to create another account, but that account is free.
- jsiepkes 4y agoIt doesn't matter if it's free because you have to agree to a EULA when creating that account.
- shultays 4y agoin most AAA games, you need to accept an eula to play it as well even if it does not want an account
- sanitycheck 4y agoTrue, but your personal information and consent to use it has value. That said, the Steam store page does tell you in advance this will be necessary if you know where to look. I don't buy those games, if I want them I'll eventually grab console versions used.
- dagw 4y agoSteam is surprisingly good at offering refunds. So if you find a subscription wall you don't agree to after you bought a game, Steam will almost certainly refund your money.
- nocsi 4y agoNobody compares to steam in terms of refund policy. As long as you keep within their boundaries, you will get the refund 100%. Its must have when buying from a digital only marketplace. I’ve even made it a personal policy to only buy digital only games through steam.
- pugz 4y agoI wonder if Steam's good refund policy comes as a result of being sued by the Australian consumer regulator back in 2014. They probably figured that if they _had_ to offer refunds in one country, they might as well build goodwill by offering refunds everywhere. (Of course this is the least charitable explanation, maybe they just had a change of heart) https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/australia-fines-valve-over-steam-refunds https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/australia-fines-valve-over-...
- Gigachad 4y agoIf you have under 2 hours gameplay and its under 2 weeks since you bought it, they will refund for literally any reason. And they explicitly list that refunding because you didn't find it fun or because it went on sale and you want to rebuy is acceptable use. After that period I have had one request accepted and one denied so it depends on the situation.
- BiteCode_dev 4y agoYes but it puts the burden on you to fix a problem that is caused by the editors.
- hericium 4y ago> Steam is surprisingly good at offering refunds. Had the opposite experience after a game stopped working 3 days after purchase due to its update (forced, if memory serves). Valve refused the refund because I played the game for more than 2 hours before it stopped working. Haven't purchased anything from Valve since.
- LelouBil 4y agoSteam shows on the store page if you have to create an external account or accept an external EULA.
