If you’ve ever been to a Black Friday sale, you’ve undoubtedly experienced buyer’s remorse, as we all have. It’s all the hype of not missing out that often crashes out credit cards in an unguarded moment. A rather clever acronym for this is FOMO (fear of missing out), and yes, we all have it to a degree. Although this tongue-in-cheek reference brings a smile to your face, what you need is a refund.<\/span><\/p>\n

When may I request a Steam refund?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Fear not, fellow Steamers, as Valve undertakes to refund you when the buying rush is over, and you realize you need another week’s food more than the latest game. As long as you’ve played less than two hours and bought it less than 14 days ago, you’re eligible for a refund.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, there are other valid reasons for requesting a refund that\u2019s also acceptable, such as not enjoying the game, an accidental purchase, or technical issues. You can supply your reasons when following the refund process online on your Steam account.<\/span><\/p>\n
