Maybe for a game that's broken and doesn't work they'll do it once. But for a game you simply "don't like?" I doubt it :-P

No matter what's the reason, by European law they must refund you the game, I saw some ppl doing so with CoD Ghosts because they didn't liked the game, maybe first they say they can't but if you mention that law overrides Steam ToS they do.

Steam does refunds extremely rarely. You must have the best reason in the world for them to do that.

Well, the re-packaged this one collection of games I had opened. Maybe the support will help you with this too.

Use a time machine and go back in time before you redeemed it.

But that won't work - why would you go back in time if he hadn't redeem it, he'd have no reason other than because he went back - creating a paradox.

As gift you won't get it back. If you ask steam support to remove it, than it's gone. You WON'T get it back as gift!

You didn't really like it after .1 hours? Well, I suppose there just isn't any content after early game in survival games.

Support probably won't give you a refund just because you didn't like it.

I'm pretty sure they don't refund you if you alraedy played the game. But if you did not play the game yet and you are in the EU you can ask for a refund, because EU law override Steams ToS. However, this depends on the quality of the support bot.
Also you can always refund preorders. Also you can always ask them to delete a game from your library (without a chargeback ofc).

Yeah but support is full of dense morons. Getting help is like rolling the dice, it's absolutely random.
I once had a convo with "Jerome" as I wanted to get rid of a broken game ("cancel a game subscription" in the words of their ToS) and I had to repeat myself about 5 times, that I don't want any money, I just want this broken game to be removed from my library.
If you've ever heard the term bastard operator from hell, this is the customer support guy version.
They do their best, that you don't come back and bother them again, ever.

As a general rule, they won't do it.

Maybe if you can come up with a very good reason, or if you are lucky and find a support guy in good mood you can have it back, but I wouldn't count on that.

It depends, which country are you from ? If you're from EU you can just quote the law and they'll do it. They won't restore the gift, maybe just refund your steam wallet.

Actually, that easy. He's in Turkey, so EU law applies. He can get a refund.

No, as soon as you download or execute it (both he did) the right for the refund without reason is revoked

I don't know the priorities but does something in Steam ToS somehow override European Union law? For any reason. Most people would just never take it to court, because, well, that would cost way more than it'd be worth.

Fair enough, thanks for the information.

np. One could still argue if steam really informs us good enough about their TOS, but that's another story.

Yeah I should sell my library so I could get new games then sell them again after playing. Good idea.

I imagine for exploitative reasons, they may not have a way to do that...
