Reply to comment by RichardBCummintonite in How many premium battlepasses do you currently have active? by 9thGearEX

Similar situation for me. I started playing Splatoon 3 when it launched, and since then, I can't stand paid battlepasses. Anything that has a paid pass and/or doesn't give you any way to get items you missed later on feels so scummy and anti-consumer to me now.

(Splat 3 has something similar to a battlepass, but it's 100% free, and you can get anything you missed after the season ends.)

Reply to I got to stop saying things aloud while gaming by hurdygurdy21

Back in that day I was playing call of duty world at war. This was probably 2008 and I was in 8th grade

I was playing the zombies mode.

At the beginning on the game people would generally pick a window and guard it. But some guy kept killing all the zombies in my window with his pistol and I was trying to knife them to get more points.

I yelled “get out of my window” and like 20 seconds later my dad ran in my room with a handgun thinking somebody was trying to get in my bedroom window lol.

I honestly wish it were longer. I remember trying to get into the DayZ standalone game last year with my dad, between difficulties with finding servers, eventually resolving to hosting our own, QoL features (teleporting, custom loot tables, mods, console commands, etc.) being exponentially harder to access than the sold ARMA 2 mod we eventually decided to just give up on that (garbage) game and return to the mod. That took us 5 hours over several days due to our schedules though, but we probably didn’t even spend more than 30 minutes actually in the game, most of it was spent in lobbies, server menus, changing controls, and other such things.

Granted that’s not a particularly common case, but it does exist for games that have terrible or convoluted means of setup for multiplayer.

>I love Valve for creating an amazing refund system

They only created a refund system because of a court order, and they just matched it to the worst one offered by a competitor (Origin) at the time. And they only refund to your Steam Wallet regardless of purchase method. I'm happy it's there and I've used it a few times, but Valve absolutely does not on any level deserved to be praised over it.

I don't know why you'd criticize this lol

It's a good policy and they have great customer service, you are using it as it's written.

If a game doesn't have a demo, I will use valve's return policy as a demo trial. More often than not I keep the game, but it's also a nice way to return things that aren't deck verified yet and then you find out they don't work on the deck.
