How many games do you have on Steam? (2024)

Recently their refund 'policies' with FS2020 and Cyberpunk for example. The standard 2 hour limit makes no sense. (For example it takes more than 2 hours to install FS2020 which counts as time played) The automated bot denies every request and trying to contact anyone is problematic.

I know it's not much better in other digital stores (except MS is pretty good) yet I don't want my games tied to the whims of Valve any more. They are too big to care and the community is downright toxic with moderators not doing much at all. Any problem you have is immediately shut down with 'fix your pc', 'you're running it on a potato'.

Steam is just not a place I enjoy anymore.

Well, no matter how problematic it can be, it is not like there are some places that handle such things better than Steam I believe. So if you care that much about being able to refund the game, your only choice is not buying digital at all I guess.

Yep, I much rather do that. However the only physical option for FS2020 was a 10 DVD version only sold in Europe, which is pointless anyway since all the map data is online. However GoG has better policies and won't lock you out of your own games when your internet is down. It still happens with Steam on my old PC.

I don't care about sales anymore (just adds clutter I never get to playing anyway) nor mods (time consuming and often end up breaking/glitching) so I don't really see any point in keeping Steam. And there's always Humble Bundle for cheap digital games.

The only convenience left with Steam is having all your games in one place. However my library is a mess polluted by sales fodder, free to play, old versions, beta versions, director's cuts, single/multi player versions. Physical is so much easier to keep track off and organize. It's the same on PSN, can't keep track of the digital stuff anymore.
