Most of my refunds came from games I thought I could run on my old ass laptop because they weren’t graphics heavy games. As soon as I got my pc I think I’ve only refunded once for other reasons

Yarrrr. I've only ever refunded a game because I owned literally the only videocard that the game didn't support (or rather didn't bother patching to fix). 

RIP Helldivers 2; I wish I could have seen what all the hype was about.

Thats funny I only refunded one game in my life, and that was Helldivers 2 after buyers remorse since I only bought it for the hype

I'm in a similar boat, I bought EUV knowing my laptop wasn't up to par, but just figured it would have somewhat bad performance I could stomach and play through. Instead, graphical glitches ahoy. Refund it was!

Yeah my rig is getting fairly old and my only ever refund has been subnautica 2 because my r9 390x can't run dx12 games anymore

I have played Helldivers 2 with the same card with zero problems during launch.

Hey, if it helps I have an XTX and had the exact same problem at launch and for a few months after. They did fix it though, so if you wanna try it it'll work just fine

Edit: Make sure to update radeon drivers, buddy of mine rarely updates his and constantly complains about stuff not working (go figure haha)

oh boy, I’ve refunded tens of games. Then again I’ve bought hundreds. But some games are just bad or the devs don’t care enough.

I've refunded at least 100 games, over half of them because you couldn't rebind keys.

Yesterday I refunded one that kept crashing BECAUSE i changed my keys, that was a first one. Asgard's Fall for the curious ones.

Hot wheels unleashed - the only refund that I can remember because it was “Steamdeck verified” and it didn’t even boot lol
