Buying Early access games

[Pasolero]

Hi im kind of noob in steam, so can anybody help me?

Im thinking in buying Eternal Winter, but dont know if the game is mine forever or is just mine till the early acces thing ends.

Early access means you get to play the game before they are done developing it and will get to keep the game after it is finished. They are not finished games however and will have bugs and missing features and content.

So when the full version is out, the game will just update and i will not pay nothing else?

Keep in mind that development may stop on a game, as I have seen posts about before. Rarely, the developers may abandon the progress of the game and you will see all this as a warning in the big blue box on the Store page concerning early access games...

"When will these games release?

Its up to the developer to determine when they are ready to 'release'. Some developers have a concrete deadline in mind, while others will get a better sense as the development of the game progresses. You should be aware that some teams will be unable to 'finish' their game. So you should only buy an Early Access game if you are excited about playing it in its current state."

Just passing that on.

Thanks for taking time in responding

No, I doubt it. Read this please, concerning the refund policy.

http://store.steampowered.com/steam_refunds/

They may make exceptions for the time restrictions noted there, but not for the week you have to wait to get your money back. Keep in mind it most likely does not cover weekends and holidays so it could be a couple of extra days in there you see.

"You will be issued a full refund of your purchase within a week of approval." (Note it says "within a week of approval" and not from the time you actually make the request for a refund.)

It MAY happen sooner, but we here cannot say for sure you see. Any guesses by us here would be just that.

Well you should know that the refund thing is kind of still new, as Steam once did not offer refunds at all so at least you have that option now.

It is their policy, so nothing you can do but try to be patient or use a different payment method to get the game now.

If it has not been approved yet, I would not get my hopes up that you will meet your deadline.

The last question, and again thank you for responding .

You are welcome and as far as I know, you can only gift games and game items to other users so, in that case, you have to buy the game and gift it to another user on Steam. I don't think real money can be moved around like that.

If you know someone on Steam, they can get the game you want and gift it to you and you can repay them or get them a gifted game at a later time. Just an idea to get the game at the discounted price before it ends, you see.

That is why I said "if you know someone". What I meant is if you actually know them in real life, otherwise you could not repay them in real money, as that is one of the optional suggestions I made in my post, you see.

But you deserve credit for being careful on Steam because otherwise, you are correct. Don't trust anyone that you don't know in real life.
