Is refund ever work after 2 hours and 14 days?
Hi i try to refund my games which i cant play because there is no community playing or i didnt enjoy playing or somewhat bugs. My question is if its not possible to refund a game after 2 hours and 14 days refund time please dont put a button of it if not works or if you dont make my refunds because i am turkish this is discrimination. I want equal rights thats it thank you for reading. and by the way i got a refund which a game wıth ın 2 hours 14 days but other than that ı do not get any refund.

Sorry, mate, you can look into one of Community Mod's history - it has a detailed response.

But, the thing is, refund window is (or was been) actually 6 months with no regard to playtime. 2 hours\2 weeks is the guaranteed period when Valve handle the process themselves.

There is a thread in this very subforum when user tried an experiment - he issued refunds to next to every game he had in his library and he only received them from what he considered as "good devs" way overdue 2hrs\2weeks period.

It was way before these people that know everything about Steam appreared, so it's adviceable to use the search feature, if you'd ask me.

Nope, Steam Refund requirements are clear and very strict..
Once you get passed 2hours or 14 days even by 1 second, you won't get to refund it..

And it doesn't matter where you are from or what level is your steam account this rule is equally strict to everyone..
Trying to insinuate it has anything to do with your nationality is a joke and shows you just want to abuse the system.

It's possible to get a refund after failing the conditions. I have already seen cases like that on steam. But please keep in mind that they have every right to decline your request.

Edit: Approved refund after playing more than 2 hours: here

Oynamadigim yada eglenmedigim oyunlardan diye baslayip irkciliga , esit haklara nasil geldin hic anlamadim ki , 10 yila yakindir steam i kullaniyorum ve steam in bu bahsettigini yaptigini ne gordum ne duydum, bence orayi edit et millet guler. Soruna gelcek olursak politakalari belli 2 saat yada 14 gun bunun disinda ♥♥♥ ekstrem durumlarda iade yapabiliyorsun. Ornek: 4 yil once gta4 u aldim lakin 14 gunu gecmesine ragmen Rockstarin oyunu aktive eden cd key lerinde problem vardi ama genel oyunu alanlarin cogunlugunun sahip oldugu bir problemdi ve steam iadeyi bundan dolayi kabul etti. Yani durduk yere genel bir sikinti yokken ben artik eglenmiyorum bunu iade alin dersen steam almaz

Just do a manual refund. It worked for my WWE 2K20 after 9 (!!!) hours.

Go to the support page for the game, and click on I STILL HAVE QUESTIONS when you find that option.

Carefully explain what is WRONG with the game when you try and play it. If you're only a little over 2 hours and 2 weeks, they may offer a refund. but the longer you've played, and the farther out from 2 weeks it was bought, the less likely it is to be refunded.

2 hours and 2 weeks is the normal window, and you should NOT expect one outside of that, but it is worth a try if something is actually wrong with the game.

The automatic system will ALWAYS refuse you if you are outside the refund policy limits.
But you can still get a refund by opening a manual ticket with Steam Support and asking that way.
That is by no means a guarantee that you will get the refund outside the limit since its still completely depending on Valve´s discretion but its possible.
IF you are only slightly outside the limits, like a few days or 30 minutes over the playtime limit.
Dont waste your time ( and that of the Steam Support) with refund requests for months old games or some you played for XX hours.

hocam diyebileceğim başka ülkelerin refundlarına bakanlar ile türkiyeninkine bakanların ayrı olduğunu söylemek istedim ve tam ifade edememiş olabilirim steam platformunda 2012 den beri hesabım var çokda yeni değilim ama bazılarını kızdırmış olabilirim yada alayada alabilirler sorun değil

Well i think that if you break one of those two for ex 15 days but 1h of play it will work, it worked for my friend when he refunded pubg after a month but didnt play it more than 1h
