Yeah, I tend to go a bit overboard on that sort of thing here.

it's mostly because I saw in the past how certain myths would pop up all the time and it got WAY tiring.

About 8 or 9 years ago (before the refund policy) there was this one where idiots got the wrong end of the stick about refunds. Valve would obivously look at each on a case by case basis. And if they did refund they'd send a message like "we have decided to refund you as a one-off goodwill gesture". The point of this was that it meant they had decided to refund but even if you have another exactly the same case, it doesn't mean the same applies (that's what "one off" meant).

But these people misinterpreted this as a "get out of jail free" card and said that one off meant per Steam account you get one refund to be used per life of the account.

That was a right pain to keep stamping out. Thank ♥♥♥♥ the refund policy came along.

To quote the Joker, "Very poor choice of words."
Not sure why the OP would use those words, in any topic on Steam, anywhere.

Yeah, I mean it's also not a good opinion to have as it's WAY WAY in the minority so I'd token it's for a rise, so it's far from innocent too.

Don't say anything about what is going on.

Imagine writing that sentence and not having your head explode like in Scanners about the literal cognitive dissonance required to do that and be Pikachu surprised about being banned, in a game forum, who's developers, are in the Ukraine

Very well said!

This is so bizarre.

Ouch.

I can't believe that is an oversight.
