Have you ever asked for a refund? Why?

Yes i refunded because i wasn't getting what i was supposed to get.

Nope ... i dont see a point in buying stuff that i havent researched enough and i know is worth my money .

The refund is for people who Pre-Order tbh ... or for guys who are just hey that looks fun lets spend 30$ on it ...

Uh god its 30fps and the controls are abysmal ...

Once. Was nothing special, just a cheap 5$ indie game (Cant even remember the name now to be honest). For whatever reason, it refused to run on my PC and I got fed up trying to fix it. So, since I was close to the 2hour mark and not making any progress, figured Id just refund and save myself the headache

bought INSIDE recently with 40%off coupon, then 1 day later, humble bundle monthly has inside for the same price with many other games, refund saved me

refunded Rocket League, didnt enjoy it

Negative.

Not yet, probably cus I only get games or collections I'm really sure of and definitely low price on sale on steam. The impulse grabs are usually from bundle site sales which I don't think offer refunds.

I refunded Odd||Even because it doesn't work on AMD GPUs; not for the €0.50, but for the principle: review here
TL;DR: in 2017, an indie dev doesn't have access to AMD cards to test their game, so their indirect answer to AMD users is "sorry, buy Nvidia if you wanna play, because I'm not buying an AMD card just to make sure my game works".
Funny to note, is that my card costed half of their "Greenlight Developer Access" fee, so it's not like it's a daunting task to get your hands on one.

No, because I handpick the games I buy - usually after they get patched up and often based on reviews of other players. I rarely jump the gun and buy the game on launch. As a matter of fact I also never pre-ordered any game.

yes. and the reason was so bad i thought they refuse
game was cheaper on humblebundle

Yes. They put it in the bundle the next week after I bought the game. WTF.

(I realise the point of this thread is primarily why you refunded as in why did you not find the game worth it or what didn't you like about the game or just something to prepare other people from buying it which is absolutely not what my response is, but I'm bored and writing is one of the easiest ways for me to pass time, especially now when I'm unable to play games due to being in hospital (and I should point out I'm currently also heavily medicated which means I'll probably end up writing mostly gibberish so I apologise in advance for anything that makes no sense) but I thought fuck it.)

Only one game ever, over two years ago now. FFXIV. I have this like, one main circle of friends that I've known and played the majority of games with for years. There's around 10 of us in total but obviously there's rarely an occasion where all 10 are present, some of them come and go every now and then or we divide the games we play together because some have a phase with one game together while others will have another etc. One of the main games for all of us was WoW which we'd all quit about 5 or 6 times and played a majority of other games in between.

During one of our divides, me and 3 others started playing Tera. Whenever there was downtime on us playing Tera (because we only ever played it when all 3 of us were present at the early stages we were at so that none of us fell behind), there was this other circle I had somehow gotten involved with because of when all my main circle used to play Starcraft2, and they had started playing FFXIV so I decided to join them on that. I bought it and spent a day or so just researching stuff online before getting into it, learning about all the different classes and their playstyles so that I'd be prepared on what to pick, then learning about PvP and how to prepare for it, strategies/counters etc.

The next day I jumped into it and before I could even finish the starting area, I was getting spammed messages from a couple friends from my main circle telling me to read the group Skype, and apparently they'd had a big debate about all of us going back to WoW yet again together because the first divide was getting bored of their game and the second divide was looking for a reason to stop playing theirs, and ours didn't really want to stop Tera but we figured we could manage both by just sticking to WoW primarily and then playing Tera when nothing is happening in WoW. At this point I thought there's no way in hell I'm juggling between three MMOs and luckily I'd only clocked about 1.5hrs in FFXIV, so I decided to basically ditch my second circle entirely because I didn't have time for them.

So that's basically the story of why I refunded a game. The annoying thing about it at the time was I was a serious card farmer, like the buy 5 bundles a week kind of card farmer, and back then we didn't have close to the well-written farming bots we have today, so my account got pretty screwed with the 2 hour card drop waiting time applied to it. But it worked out, because recently my account got the card drop hold lifted and it completely bugged the way my account receives cards, so now I can essentially farm 32 games and get well over 200 cards from the time I start farming to the old two hours I used to be restricted to. I just had to wait two years for it to happen.

Fair play if you actually read to this point although I'm not quite sure why you did considering it's mostly nonsense, but hopefully I didn't waste too much of your time. Happy days.

Once, I wanted to gift someone on reddit but bought the wrong version of the game so I had to refund it

Never, I don't buy expensive games without knowing they are good. Most hyped "AAA" turns out to be a disappointment anyways. And for cheap sale games it's not worth the hassle.

Goliath and Slavistan for sure, maybe nothing else.
First one was an accidental purchase (I wanted to buy a gift for someon and I was thinking between that game and another, accidentally bought both) and Slavistan was a gift the recipient refused :D

Yes, several times. The last one was No Man's Sky, I don't remember the others, but I remember that it was due to poor optimisation / port.

Every few months I request a refund for DayZ. It's the same message every time and it's always rejected, but I like to remind them that I'm still bitter.

Game will never be out of early access. Runs like molasses on a cold winter night. Full of glitches. Didn't live up to promises of the devs. I spent more time being dropped out of servers and dealing with the game freezing than I have actually played the game. Charging $35 for this is quite possibly one of the greatest cons of all time. A refund is only fair. You know. I know it. The devs know it. The entire Steam community knows it.

Nope, there's been a couple that I thought about refunding to get on Xbox or something instead, but I like having them on Steam.

Rome Total War because it wouldn't work when I upgraded to windows 10

Three times.

Ori and the Blind Forest: it ate my saves two times (it also had achievements and progress tracking issues).
Grow Home: it ran like s**t a few weeks after launch but I bought it again later and it was fine.
Never Alone: Finished it in 2 hours and unlocked all the achievements, but I got a refund 'cause I felt robbed (I paid it like 12 bucks). I re-bought it at a lower price a few months later (with DLC, that I enjoyed more than base game), just to not feel bad for developers.

I also refunded a couple of other games (like The Room and Gone Home), but just because they went on sale right after I bought them and Steam accepts refunds in those cases.

Only1 time and it's ingame item, I refund Dota battle pass, I wanted to buy and gift it to friend, but when I bought it from Dota store there was no option to gift, so I refund it and then rebought it from steam store and then I was able to gift it, this was also bug that was fixed in few days.

yes, 4 times up to now:

first was darkest dungeon in early access phase, was boring for me and not worth playing.
second one was dayz, ran like crap and so glad i did not play longer than 2 hours!
and now the fun part: third and fourth were both ark survival evolved
i got bored with it after playing with some friends on private server and second time it ran worse than before and was overrun with hackers.

I refunded the first Witcher game because combat was extremely clunky so that I couldn't focus on the story.

Three times

1 - the 3D Realms Collection showed up in a BS 10 days after I got it. Had only 1.5 hrs playtime so I was like, eh, might try it.
2 - MXGP - The Official Motocross Videogame - game was good but there was a glitch where the sound would stop after one race, and none of the workaround I could find on the forums would work.
3 - Formula Truck 2013 - Got it as a gift copy, and when I went to redeem it 10 days later it turned out that they added a DLC for Automobilista to the package (because they were retiring the standalone) and I thus was not able to redeem it. According to the forums it's been like that for a week so I figured I'll rather refund it while I have the time, than wait for devs to fix that.
