I bought a game on sale, 25% off. I played it for about 90 minutes, and then the next day it was 50% off. I thought "Mmmh, let's see if Steam accepts to refund in this situation." so I poked around and saw that "Game is now available cheaper" was an acceptable reason for getting a refund. Problem: it takes up to 7 days to get the money back in your wallet and then the game is no longer on sale... I contacted support about it but got no reply. So, with my game still on sale for about an hour, I added funds to my wallet to buy it again with the 50% discount. Is that why they accept to refund people in my situation? To make them spend more in the end? Steam's refund policy is incredibly generous but it in this case, it feels a bit scam-ish. Am I missing something?
Edit: I did wait for the Summer Sale, the game's price dropped twice in two days. Edit 2: Ok, I get it, I should have known that there are extra sales within the Summer Sale. Now, can we discuss how Steam can make the "refund because game is now cheaper" work? Would it not work to just refund the price difference?
