Is there any way to get a refund on a game that i haven't even downloaded but i bought like 1 year ago?

[rebanareptil]

One day in January 2018 i went on a spending spree and bought most of the games that i have right now on my account, but i haven't even downloaded a couple of them and i don't think i'll ever download them, so i want a refund, but so far i haven't been able to get one, is there any way to get it, or to chat with costumer service about it to see what they can do?

Don't expect to get a refund for a purchase made ~one year ago.

The refund window is less than 2hrs played AND less than 2wks owned ... Same rules apply to everyone.

Nope. There is absolutely no way to get a refund on games you bought nearly 1.5 years ago short of inventing time travel and going back in time and requesting a refund before the 2 week period expired

But i've heard about people that did get refunds of their games even past the 14 day and 2 h mark, and if you think about it, Steam it's not going to give me a cash refund, is just steam wallet money to spend on this platform anyways, that's why i think i might be able to get one if i push the right buttons but i don't know how.

Not after a year and steam wallet are not free at all.

Yes, but over a year is pushing it, don't you think?

After a year the money is long gone to the game developer.
Steam would need to refund you from their own money.
There is ZERO chance this will happen.

If you think about it, contextually, that’d be one of the longer hairs on the long tail.

Yeah, you are right, however, i'll keep trying.

If you're just over it and have a good reason, then it's possible that Support made an exception. There have also been cases where a developer or publisher gave Steam permission to grant the refund.

But a year? No, not a chance.

Also, stop with arguments like the Steam Wallet. It doesn't matter whether the money goes to the Wallet or to a bank, it's still money that isn't in Valves pocket anymore and thusly they lost.

Try to request a refund, why not. But yeah most likely u wont get it. I would be very surprised if u would.

Which may end up worse by not being able to request refunds anymore.

If your refund request already have been rejected serveral times, that's it, a "no" means "no".

If you have already tried I would suggest you stop and don't waste your or Steam supports time on it. The argument that it's just "Steam wallet money" isn't really working, because if you use those funds to buy another game they (developer and publisher) will want money, and they won't accept Steam wallet funds, so they will have to get money from someone, Valve in this case. So there is no reasonable way it's going to happen.

If you keep trying after being told no they can take away your rights to all future refunds. You are NOT getting a refund.

Those exceptions are for stuff like a month over, or if the game itself shut down a month after someone bought it. Things like that.

They aren't going to make an exception a year and a half later because you couldn't be bothered to file a refund request in a timely manner.

Yeah unfortunately you can't, personally I think the rule should be 5 hours considering it's within the 3-4 hour mark where most real gamers come to the conclusion if they like or dislike a game and giving it several chances. Case in point: Imperator Rome.
