So can I refund all games I ‚bought‘ under false pretenses? I only have few games and opted out of this garbage ecosystem a while ago. Would be nice to recover some investment
The new California law only requires that Steam makes it clear you are buying a digital license.
So per the history of Steam’s terms and agreements users could have been buying digital licenses for a while and Steam just wasn’t upfront about it.
Also depending the lingo in their T&A, digital licensing could apply to all purchases moving forward, all past purchases, or only specified purchases.
Either way if you made a purchase without clear acknowledgement that your ownership and it’s characteristics was terminable or could be altered in the future then I could see legitimate cause for refunds due to false pretenses, bait and switch, or something like that.
Granted Steam also just changed arbitration clauses so they may already be prepping for responses like mass refund requests.
Anyways, time to get rid of steam, save what games I can, find an alternative.
