I pre-purchased Hitman on steam ($50.61 wallet + 9.38 debit card) . On 3rd november when Indian currency got supported it became much cheaper so I asked for a refund. But apparently someone at steam screwed up and refunded me wallet money twice. So what do you guys think I should do?

A small giveaway from humble monthly bundle. Lvl 2.

Edit Note: Going by the current poll (though 'spend it' seems to be catching up) I have contacted the steam support . Thanks for your replies . Anyways
I will keep this thread open until the giveaway is over.

So what should I do?

View Results
Contact steam support and ask them to revoke the extra money
Wait and let them find out on their own
Spend it.
other options (please comment)

Pretend that you have no idea what happened and spend them on the next sale. Right or wrong, that's what I'd do (also legally it's not a theft as someone said).

Oh, sorry, I keep tabs open forever since I read the content and reply to them and didn't notice the edit. :D

I doubt that it is the case on Steam, but in my region, if someone does what you just did earlier, "by popular law", they have to give you half of the value. I haven't heard about something like this in modern days, but I read about a lot of these cases in late 1800 and early 1900 (maybe this ended when the left-left party came to power). I am however interested what will their answer be: some stupid irrelevant to the question copy-paste? Some "Oh, thank you!"? or something else?

I think you took the best action if they didn't revoke it before they saw your message, might end up being bad for your Steam account even if it was their error...

I doubt that. In the worst case, they can block any transactions with Steam store until you pay whatever sum is on minus.

if i were you i would have bought tf2/dota2/csgo keys, sell them for paypal money and buy weed with the money. if they won't revoke it, you win. if they revoke it, WE ALL WIN. imagine gaben appears in a convention or something and HE'S HIGH.

don't worry too much, Gaben has enough money to pay for your games ^^
It is a mess up from their side, you could have just ignored it and spend the money on games in my opinion.
If it was me, I would contact the support though.
Both choices are okay, the former comes with free money.

PS: Btw don't ask them to do anything even if you contact the support. They should know what to do anyways....

Well steam will take back it automatically and if you spend it they will revert the purchase! This happens during the conversion but they always take it back when do a check.

Depends on your morals. I'd write them and tell them they made a mistake but that's just me.

I'm curious how much time SSupport will take to attend a ticket in which they are requested to get back $60.

I'm pretty sure they'll notice it at some point and revoke the game(s) you bought with that money. Great decision that you contacted the support.

Maan. Thank you for this thread. You are whitelisted because you choose to concact them. And all the others makes my blacklist even larger :)

Man, thank you for this thread. You are whitelisted because you chose to contact them. All the others (Okay, not all the others but the ones who are pesky thieves.) made my blacklist even larger and my high horse even higher. :)

i fixed it for you. you're welcome. i'm not entirely sure if "larger" is the right word to use though, but i guess it's okay. it's not my native language after all.

I'm sure everyone, even the people who told you to spend it, knows what must be done in these situations... :) Need we ask anyone to tell us these things? :)

Didnt answer because it wasn't my decision to make
I would send a ticket, only because i'm curious to see what kind of response i would get from them.
My guess is that they will give an impersonal automatic response, but let you keep them money

Still, wouldn't judge either way, dont understand why no one cares about taking advantage of some circumstances (price errors) while others are frowned upon

send them a ticket and they are most likely going to fix it in a couple of weeks time. 2-3 months tops. Heck for all you know they might also reward you for being so nice and honest and give you a free dollar or two! yeah not going to happen but ... >:<

Gut reaction is for you to spend it but safer to go the support route
