Valve lets you refund even with 2+ hours if something merits it, for example Fall Guys adding EAC. They'll even let you refund a Windows game if you try to run it on Linux and can't get it to work. They're very good with refunds and side with consumers more often than not.
As long as you don't overdo it, you can refund just about anything.
Just say that a game no longer works and there's a good chance you'll get refunded as long as you're not abusing the system. Doesn't have to be true, of course. They're not going to investigate the details of the thousands of daily requests.
>fallguys
I bought it over a year ago with 13 hours would that allow a refund anyways? Do games get special conditions for refunds now? The most I've gotten was refunding a game at 2.3 hours played.
There is no limit on eligibility for a refund.
If you have sub 2 hours they probably don't even look at why
It's like c**t didn't like it fine
But if you have a legitimate grievance then you should absolutely request a refund. Worst case they say no and open them selves up to a class action
>show proof this has happened even once niglet
Not him, but Smash+Grab.
I owned it and it was deleted from my library when they shut it down.
Upside is I got a refund.
the second box doesn't mean that the game is removed from your account, steam doesn't do this
Same shit has happened with games like Dragon Age 2, Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition etc.
If you have the games on your account, you personally can still play them at will, but it's removed from the store completely, if you had a CD key, you could potentially still get the game.
You can still play it you fricking moron. Every game that had this happen is still functional for those who own a copy of it within their account.
The only time a game wouldn't work is if it's dependant on a central server, but technically you could still launch it.
I still have my copy of Age of Empires Online which I can install and launch, but since there's no servers, I can't get further than the main menu, and that's what Celeste is for.
Do you know what a license check is? You mentioned a central server and that is why the license check is going to fail. You will need a crack to play the game that you paid for

ubisoft bundled the dlcs with the base game a while back and i literally played gaycry3 two days ago with no problems please shut your wienerholster and learn from your mother
I usually buy their games for $5 on the Epic sales. I won't be doing that anymore. Take that, Ubi. Now all we need are 20 million other people like me, and they will learn their lesson.
>ass creed
who cares, and it's also one of the shittier entries in the series judging by the reviews so it's not like you're missing out on much anyways
I think those statistics are skewered. Back then you didn't sell through one channel. You had many different ways to sell the game.
I always see that with new games that they "outsold" everything before but I don't believe it. Unless you only count say Gamestop sales and nothing else.
no, you buy the license for that game and unless you break the TOS they legally cannot take away your license to play. in the EU, ubisoft will either have to offer a full refund at full price or provide everyone with an offline playable copy of the game
i haven't bought a ubisoft game since AC2 on PS3 back when it launched, so i personally have 0 stake in all this, i just hope someone does this in the EU to frick them over
>It literally says in the TOS you are buying "Steam subscriptions" when you purchase a game
maybe in the US, not in the EU
>Or else what lmao?
i can sue them and get my money back lmao. literally the only thing the EU is good for are consumer protection laws, frick corporations

Then you and the choir are just preaching to each other. No one will sue them, nothing will change, and more companies will do this--it will come to be accepted by the average consoomer.
or like another anon said anyone can just drop and replace a .dll in the games folder to play regardless or pirate kek give me your address so i can tbag your homosexual face irl
wasn't it literally just the other day when sony decided to completely remove all of the movies under a certain brand from the devices of anyone who bought them?
Yes, although Sony was essentially forced to do that due to licensing agreements, whereas Ubisoft is doing this entirely of their own volition and to nudge people to buy the remaster.
Ubi is 100% going to get sued over this and lose. The shitty little user agreements they shove in people's face never actually hold up in court when pressed hard enough. They offered a product, retracted that product, and didn't offer a refund as compensation.
people constantly add me to sell them my copies of Poker Night at the Inventory claiming "it might come back to the store anytime bro!! it's happened before!!! I'm doing you a favor here!!!!! just sell it to me!!!!!!" and I tell them to frick off, but if any of you gays here get dubs I might consider your mom will die in her sleep if you don't reply to this post
>haha he bought ubishit! frick asscreed am I right?
If this happened to a game people actually liked, you'd never hear the end of it. The practice should be stopped now before it repeats with worse consequences.
You're asking a rhetorical question, but this is likely the kind of thinking that went into this decision. Why let people own your product when you can temporarily sell it to them for full price and then take it away so that they need to buy your next product?
I am so sick of you whiney entited gamers feeling like you are oblicated to have access to vidya just because you paid money for it.
You don't own the content, you are borrowing it. And when the lender tells you you don't get to play the game, you goddamn better respect the publishers decision and STFU.
I understand unfortunate circumstances happen, and it probably feels shitty to you to feel "ripped off", but guess what? Life is short and it sucks to suck.
Get the frick over it. Ubisoft is a multimilion dollar corporation, and you are most likely getting by off your parents or government handouts.
>tl;dr > Ubisoft made the right decision and anything that makes you feel sad is a good thing.
I still have the a copy of that game for vita that came bundled with it that I never even bothered to take out of its packaging and the other day I knocked it off the counter it was on and it fell under something and I didn't care enough to grab it. That's how I feel about all AC games and Ubishit in general.
Unfortunately these games are linked to ubishit's third party launcher and online services. Sure Steam will still let you keep the game in your account but because it relies on ubishit then it wont launch.
>buy from dust back in the day on steam >Try to play it >It forces me to make a Ubisoft account >Doesn't recognize my key >Never get to play it
From that day on I never bought a game that relied on an external launcher.
>at the request of the publisher
funny how steam is getting shit for what ubisoft is doing
it'd be funny if steam ignored ubisoft's request and took them to court over this, granted valve would probably lose but they'd win PR points for putting up a fight
the next best thing would be a class action lawsuit vs ubisoft
what people that ''own'' this game should do is ask for refunds en masse, when steam refuses take them to court in a class action lawsuit, its the only way to get steam to care
Black Flag has undeniable SOVL and some may disagree but I thought Watch Dogs 2 was great. The story was slightly pozzed but had some genuinely hilarious moments, kino outfits and the multiplayer hacking invasions were the most enjoyable version of hide and seek I've ever experienced in vidya
Steam could have and should have enforced a DRM-free policy or some sort of contingency plan policy that would have forced them to remove DRM by a certain date. Frick Valve.
Ubisoft pulled the plug on their own servers.
There's nothing steam can do about it,
The console version is also facing the same fate, even if you have the disk.
Take some fricking responsibility for yourself. You only have yourself to blame if you spent money on fricking Ubishit titles with always online DRM.
>i see this game >it's made by ubisoft who are known for being fricking morons >the store also tells me that this is an always online game that - despite being single player - requires a constant internet connection for some reason >which means the game will be impossible to play if the servers ever go down - unless Ubisoft patch the game to not be always-online anymore >which is something Ubisoft has never done because again - Ubisoft is a trash company
GAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH IMAGINE RENTING GAMES FOR FULL PRICE
Refund it then? Pretty sure the game literally no longer working is a valid reason and the 2+ hours you've played won't matter.
>over 2 hours played

You can refund Fall Guys? Wouldn't mind removing this piece of shit

Nope, it's getting removed even for people who own it.
The game's getting deleted from your library fricking moron
bruh read the second notice box
>he doesnt know anyone can drop a .dll in to the folder to bypass it
smooth brained moron
show proof this has happened even once niglet please its such a low requirment
>>he doesnt know anyone can drop a .dll in to the folder to bypass it
so why not just pirate it then? I will never understand the mindset of buygays
Because pirating it was not necessary at the time.
Not sure what's so difficult to understand about that.

They're shutting down their verification servers. Also there's now a nice, full-price remake that you can buy instead.
I pirate everything from Ubisoft and Bethesda out of principle; I don't even play them
You can't buy Driver San Francisco so I pirated it.
I pirate stuff constantly even though it makes me feel like an butthole. If I had the money I'd buy it all, but I don't and inflation plus gas prices are fricking my bank account sideways.
I pirated Driver in 2018 and could run it perfectly, but nowadays none of the cracks work for me, I just emulate it on rpcs3

Frick, now I'll have to go through all the trouble of downloading a torrent if I ever get the itch to play this particular brand of ubishit.
It’s not about the game’s quality. It’s fricked up for them to treat their customers like that.
Ubisoft customers are mindless zombies. They know perfectly well this won't stop anyone from buying assassins creed 2k23.
Do you guys think Ubisoft will have consequences for this action?
Probably getting fricked since they’re in le france but dunno

You paid for a subscription, the subscriptions over, what's the issue?
no, you buy the license for that game and unless you break the TOS they legally cannot take away your license to play. in the EU, ubisoft will either have to offer a full refund at full price or provide everyone with an offline playable copy of the game

Your "ownership" rights shrink by the day.
The corporations will see that you own nothing but the right to give your money to them.
Yes, although Sony was essentially forced to do that due to licensing agreements, whereas Ubisoft is doing this entirely of their own volition and to nudge people to buy the remaster.
Ubi is 100% going to get sued over this and lose. The shitty little user agreements they shove in people's face never actually hold up in court when pressed hard enough. They offered a product, retracted that product, and didn't offer a refund as compensation.

It sets a precedent you useless flecks of anal sputum.
Who would want to play a shitty old game from 8 years ago when you can play a newer one?
You're asking a rhetorical question, but this is likely the kind of thinking that went into this decision. Why let people own your product when you can temporarily sell it to them for full price and then take it away so that they need to buy your next product?
