You can refund it though, if a game runs poorly you should refund it quickly so you don't miss your window.

Looks like you played it for 1.8h even though it can't run on your PC. DO NOT play it again because if you play it for more then 2h you can't refund it.
It also can't be a purchase older then 14 days.

i was downloading a game and after i was done
before i played a single minute it said
played time 2,1h(time it took to download) on steam

it did run, but if it didnt for whatever reason, id be fked
the 2h window is a joke beyond comprehension
including the fact that SOME games count the download time as played

the only thing i bought from steam was the downloader
which gave me a client, which steam counts played time as its running
what a joke

I did it! thank you guys so much for helping me :)

That sounds incorrect, was it a game with a patcher or something? What game was it?

Sure you didnt see the total download timesomewhere and missunderstood?

It's the time on your profile that counts afaik.

No games count the download time as playtime.

i updated my post for clarification

what i got from steam was a few mb client, which then downloaded the several gb game by itself
while doing so the played time racked up

Yeah if all you got was a client for a F2P game or something then that would count.

[Forcen]

Ah so it was a patcher that downloads the game after you start it from steam?
Was it a free to play game?

it was b2p game ....
i tested the game in their free week, and it was glitched but i resolved it

but if i didnt, and bought it straight and didnt get it to work
the only thing support would beat around my head would be

2h+ CANT REFUN IT LULZ

yeah it was and
nope regular b2p game, 20 bucks

[Forcen]

What game was it?

atlas reactor,
and the client was trions beloved GLYPH xD

but yeah, its kinda scummy since you cant load the actual game without the patcher running
nice way to get around the refund rule if you ask me

not sure but i THINK its the same for all those f2p MMOS on steam
i dont really play them
but when i tried a few years back, all you get is the patcher who loads the full game
tho refund doesnt matter on f2p games for obvious reasons

but i wonder if its the same for final fantasy14 and elderscrolls mmo on steam since they have to be bought as well

If it was intentional. The refund system is kind of new.

Steam should have a separate patcher launcher possibly that doesn't count the game as running? Or tell devs to not use patchers in non f2p games.

afaik they have patcher for each of their game
so would be weird not to have one on this

yeah, im not really familiar if these kinds of patchers are regularly used in other games
