I did with 100s of hours and the original purchase being years ago. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 child) It was gifted to me, so I'm not sure how that would work. EDIT: Upon reflection though, it would be nice if you could refund your friends for a game they gifted you that you weren't actually into (as long as you make sure it doesn't hurt the friends feelings first of course) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] alakey@piefed.social 3 points 1 day ago (1 child) On Steam you can, you request a refund (effectively just removing the game from your acc) and then your friend needs to request it as well for it to proceed. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] blight@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago* They refused my refund request for Rust when they pulled Linux support. This was a few years ago though so maybe they've changed policies since. permalink fedilink source parent [–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago It was kinda annoying that you had to fight for it. I can't imagine how many people who put down the game for a few years and checked up on it to find the Linux version is no longer supported and they're beyond the point to request a refund. permalink fedilink source parent [–] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago Yeah, I'm running Bazzite and still playing Rocket League through Steam. Works great, better framerate than Windows permalink fedilink source parent [–] helios@social.ggbox.fr 4 points 1 day ago Yes it does, even with the recent introduction of EAC. It's totally fine by me that there is no native Linux build in this case. permalink fedilink source parent
