offers\u00a0a generous refund system. You can refund any <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> you purchase through Steam, for any reason\u2014whether it isn\u2019t working properly on your PC or you just don\u2019t find it fun.<\/p>\n<p>This feature encourages you to try games you\u2019re not sure about. If you don\u2019t like a game, you can always refund it and get your money back. It\u2019s particularly useful\u00a0now that so few games offer free demos.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_You_Can_Refund_a_Game\"><\/span>When You Can Refund a Game<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are two basic requirements for when you can get a refund: You must have purchased the game in the last 14 days, and you must have played the game for less than two hours.<\/p>\n<p>If you meet these requirements, Valve promises it will refund you for any reason. You can ask for a refund on a game even if you don\u2019t meet these requirements\u2014Valve will take a look at your request, but won\u2019t guarantee a refund.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t refund games that you purchased outside of Steam and added to Steam with a product key (at least, not through Steam\u2014you\u2019d have to request a refund through the original retailer). While you can sometimes save money on Steam games by\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/300416\/10-alternatives-to-steam-for-buying-cheap-pc-games\/\">purchasing Steam keys from\u00a0third-party game stores, this feature encourages you to buy games through Steam if you think you might want to refund them.<\/p>\n<p>If you refund a lot of games, Valve may consider this \u201cabuse\u201d and stop offering refunds to you. \u201cRefunds are designed to remove the risk from purchasing titles on Steam\u2014not as a way to get free games,\u201d according to Valve\u2019s policy. Valve doesn\u2019t specify exactly what they consider \u201cabuse\u201d, but you should probably be fine as long as you\u2019re not regularly buying a large number of games and refunding most of them.<\/p>\n<p>Valve notes that refunding a game purchased before a sale and buying it at the lower sale price isn\u2019t considered abuse. So, if you purchase a $60 game and it goes on sale for $30 a few days later, you can refund the game and purchase it at the lower price\u2014as long as you\u2019ve played it for less than two hours.<\/p>\n<p>Your refund can be returned to the same payment method you purchased the game with, or to Steam Wallet credit you can spend on Steam.
