I had no idea it wasn't counted towards the refund period previously.
Yeah. I think many didn't. It sounds like a clear loophole to me, and I don't think it's unfair to count that playtime towards the regular total.
Payday 3 worked fine for me before the full release overloaded the always online servers for weeks. It’s a funner game than payday 2 but always online is ridiculous. I don’t want developers to just get away with that in the future.
Playing a game for more than 2 hours doesn't mean you can't refund it anymore, it just means the refund isn't automatically accepted. If the quality suddenly drops on release day you can still request a refund.
Ah, sure. I never play online games so didn't really consider that. Still, it means the player takes a chance with advanced access. That's always the case, no? I know the industry treats it like a perk, but I'd argue that's on the industry and not Valve's policy.
