Titanfall 2 is tons of fun.

A surprisingly engaging single-player campaign, I agree; I never got into the mp, but it looks like a hoot.
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse

Hell Let Loose was my only steam summer sale purchase.  Really like it, hits the sweet spot between Arcady battlefield and more realism post scriptum.  I resisted getting it, because I already had post scriptum, but it's different enough that it was worth getting, plus eastern front arrives this month.  Also saw a mod for post scriptum that will be North Africa, so it's worth owning both.

Post Scriptum is rough, Gus.  You need to invest a lot of time learning the maps, the interface, and how to work with a squad.  Closer to ArmA than to Battlefield in terms of a learning curve.  Expect to walk for several minutes just to get to the front line only to die without ever seeing the enemy...a lot.

Then maybe hell let loose would be your speed.

I did more damage during the sale than I thought I would. Everything was deeply discounted so money is not the issue, but time. First world problems, I know.

When you throw that bit in there about the economic recovery I feel better!

STEAM sent me a threatening mail after some sale refunds:

It looks like you've requested a significant number of refunds recently. If you often have problems with your purchases, please submit another ticket so that we can help you solve these issues.
Please note, that the Steam Refund Policy is not intended as a way to try out games for free. If we have reason to believe that the refund system is used in this manner, we may decline future refund requests.


Since one of the reasons you can select in the refund request part is 'It's Not Fun' this is leaving me a little confused as 'It's Not Fun' specifically means I'm refunding the game because I don't like it.   :-\

I would read their policy. Just because they give you the option, doesn't mean it is a valid basis for refund. In fact, it could be a basis for them to reject the refund request. As Admiral Ackbar recognized after it was already too late, "it's a trap!"

Wonder how many "a significant number" is?

Just one more than STEAM will put up with?

Therefore, what do most gamers use as a reason?  I don't refund often but only at times when the game is junk.  Plus, I am in the habit of waiting until it's $9.99 or lower.  Unless, it's a game from matrix/slitherine

I've only refunded once or twice but I put "program not working" as the reason. Legitimately, as one would not run at all and the other I was having weird audio issues for some reason and didn't want to go through the trouble to look into the problem once it was obvious menu settings wouldn't help.
Insert witty comment here.
