Steam to Offer Refunds on Newly Purchased Games

-

June 4, 2015

Valve has announced that refunds will now be simplified and easily done on Steam. While there has always been a way to open a ticket in order to request a refund, it has never been in official policy. Valve has changed this in order to help consumers out when there are issues with purchases. Like their announcement for Steam Broadcasting, this comes out of nowhere as a very consumer-friendly move.

The popular PC developer/distributor has stated that refunds will not apply to everything, but it looks like the majority of situations are covered in their post. To break it down, games & software will be refundable within two weeks of purchase with under two hours of game time. Additionally, in-game purchases in Valve games will be refundable within 48 hours, assuming they haven’t been used.

Refunds are also to be refundable on pre-purchased titles, for the entire run up to the release of the game and then for two weeks after (with the same caveat of with less than two hours of game play). Steam Wallet funds can be refunded during two weeks as well, as long as none of it has been used.

They have also stated that purchases made out of Steam will be refundable. Neither will Movies or gifts. If you are VAC banned in a game before requesting a refund, that game will not be refundable.

To prevent abusers, Valve will be watching users to see if they are just trying games out as demos. How they will determine this has not been stated, but abusers will be flagged to no longer have the right to receive refunds.

Steam refunds are live now through their help screen.

Last week on May 26th Capcom and Sony released Ultra Street Fighter IV onto the PlayStation 4 and despite being a port of a game that has been given numerous upgrades for the past few years, it seemed that the upgrade to the PlayStation 4 left plenty to be desired.

Thanks to a bumpy launch that some people described as nearly unplayable and forced the fighting game tournament Evo 2015 to permanently switch to the 360 version of the game, Sony and Capcom have quickly been working on getting the issues patched.

As such they have released a new patch for the game and with it come the following patch notes:

Reduced Interface lag within menus
Addressed disappearing projectiles
Fix Decapre’s teleport animation
Fixed missing SFX for Red Focus Attack
Fix Rolento audio glitch during victory screen
Fixed Akuma’s stomp SFX not playing
Addressed bottom portion of the ON/OFF text being cutoff under the graphics setting in the Options menu
Removed extra character that was sometimes displayed in the Leaderboards at the end of a player’s name even if they have not set it to be there
Fixed issue when seeking an arcade match-up with LAN cabled disconnected, and then starting up training results in a message ID being displayed
Addressed online IDs not appearing correctly
Addresses issue when changing the HP bar’s HUD position in Options, the Online ID HUD positions does not move with it, and is displayed at the default position
Anisotropic Filtering (AF) changes to decrease blur
Fixed appearance of white box after backing out of a command list menu
Addressed Fight Request in Arcade Mode (Arcade | Arcade)

Natsume has announced that they will be releasing another new Harvest Moon game, titled Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories, for the Wii U, PC, iOS, and Android this winter. It is worth noting that this is not related to the Bokujō Monogatari series that the games have been based off of in the past and is Natsume’s own creation just like Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley.

Details are still fairly scarce on Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories, but Natsume has said that the title is inspired by the classic Harvest Moon titles with players having to revitalize a farm and befriend the villagers to unlock “Seeds of Memories” that can be obtained in various ways, such as raising your first cow or giving a villager their favorite item.

Cows, sheep, and chickens will return as livestock while a horse can be used to ride around and a dog can be kept as a pet, though a bobcat will also be tameable. Similar to past games, the title will feature five male and five female marriage candidates depending on the player’s gender.

While no footage of the game has been released so far, Natsume has said that they will be showing the title off at E3 in two weeks.
