MasonicGamer.com: Steam. That digital distribution platform we all fell in love with when it came to life in 2003. It was originally created to just patch up properly your Counter Strike. For 2 years it only sold Valve games. It ensured that are you to date and also that they are legitimate copies. And then in 2005 we saw the first 3rd party titles start to appear on the platform. However it took another 2 years to convince the “big boys” to put your goodies in the Steam. In 2007 we saw id Software, Eidos Interactive and Capcom join the party. Bear in mind that already in 2005 Valve said they were making money and the platform was heading for more and more titles, which would equal more green....
This article explains how to link your Steam and PlayStation Networks accounts, which is becoming a must for Helldivers 2.

Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected
Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.
I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol
Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.
Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.
Speaking about overgeneralizing much.
Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.
Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?
You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.
Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.
I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.
I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.
Just because Steam is the biggest doesn't make it a "closed environment" to the exclusion of all others. They haven't locked down the PC so that any game you play must go through Steam.
Also, the article doesn't mention How indies get the same visibility as AAA titles and aren't relegated to some sub menu to be lost among the rest.
All I can say is, that I prefer Valve being the leader of DD as a opposed to EA and the like.
