Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected
Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.
Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.
Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?
Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm
Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.

Steam has over 100 Million Registered users now. The strength of steam lies in the PC platform not having generations.
Unlike consoles which face a user base reset at the start of a gen, Steam has only carried on to grow this can be attributed to the PCs ability to have BC.
I suppose this is one of the reasons more and more developers which previously never brought games to the PC are now bringing their games to Steam. A 100 million user base is too much to ignore, even in the face of paychecks by console makers.
That ladies and gentlemen is how to run an online gaming network
Evolve alpha and maybe some other things. 9,000,000 online in 1 day is impressive though.
I wonder how much that would've been boosted if Minecraft had ever made it to Steam. Weird thought.
