Steam keeps on winning (www.pcgamer.com)

From the opinion piece:

Last year, I pointed out how many big publishers came crawlin' back to Steam after trying their own things: EA, Activision, Microsoft. This year, for the first time ever, two Blizzard games released on Steam: Overwatch and Diablo 4.

They won me over permanently when they instituted a refund policy.

Not just a refund policy but a refund policy where you can just say 'yeah this shit sucks yo'

I rarely am. I'm a very wise man.

the oracle stated something to the effect of "Socrates is the wisest person in Athens."[3] Socrates, believing the oracle but also completely convinced that he knew nothing, was said to have concluded that nobody knew anything, and that he was only wiser than others because he was the only person who recognized his own ignorance.

I know this quote, for I am very intelligent. Also handsome.

And exceedingly humble.

You forgot to mention modest. :p

And exceedingly humble.

Could you be the humblest person in the world?

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

It is very possible.

It took the australian government to do it, but at least they did it in the best possible way after being forced to, instead of throwing a tantrum and having people need to talk to a support person.

Steam did have refund policy and I have returned games in the past, but it was a review process.
