Today we have updated a portion of our Refund Policy regarding pre-purchased titles. This change covers titles that are in pre-purchase and offer “Advanced Access”. Playtime acquired during the Advanced Access period will now count towards the Steam refund period. You can find our more information regarding Steam Refunds here.
I had no idea it wasn’t counted towards the refund period previously.
Yeah. I think many didn’t. It sounds like a clear loophole to me, and I don’t think it’s unfair to count that playtime towards the regular total.
