"While the Steam Summer Getaway Sale hasn’t claimed all of us just yet (that Ys Chronicles I & II deal is looking mighty enticing), there’s still a long way until it ends at 10AM PST on July 22.
Since the sales change on a daily (and sometimes hourly) basis, you’ll want to keep your eyes constantly peeled on Steamdb.info, which tracks all the current sales. And if you want no part in this PC sale whirlwind, console publishers have a few things going on too.
Like we previously mentioned, nabbing Fire Emblem Awakening and the upcoming Shin Megami Tensei IV and registering them on Club Nintendo will give you $30 eShop credit. And be sure to update your firmware: the StreetPass Mii Plaza got an overhaul, complete with four new games that you can utilize your collected Miis on for $14.99.
Playstation Plus members get Oddworld: Munch’s Odysee HD for free this week, and those of you in the mood for the greatest voice acting in gaming history can partake in the newest PS2 Classic: Castle Shikigami 2. His name is Ko, and he’s beating down evil.
Finally, Major Nelson has revealed some of the new XBLA games you can expect in next month’s “Summer of Arcade” promo, which include the Flashback remake and the new TMNT beat-em-up.
Hit up the full list for more." - Patrick Kulikowski

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.
Blindfolding myself and clicking a Steam page at random would serve me better recommendations than Steam’s algorithm
Hmm, not sure I agree with that. The recommendations I get are usually pretty good, but then again I have pretty large library of games on Steam and hundreds of them in my wish list, along with lots of curators I follow for it to build recommendations off of. On occasion it will throw me a random FIFA game or something I've never bought or shown interest in, but mostly its decent IMO.
