I think Valve/Steam will refund you the difference if you request it
Yup, in steam support you can say you have a problem with a game and one of the options is “it is now available for cheaper” and they’ll give you the difference if you bought it just before a sale.
Is there some kind of time limit on this?
The time between your purchase and date the game was discounted isn’t listed but most refunds need to be claimed within
2 months of purchase(Valve’s refund policy says within 2 weeks but that they’ll review requests outside that time period). So maybe if you buy a game and next month it’s on sale you could get the sale price?Wow, that’s generous. I thought it was two weeks.
My solution, refuse to buy until it’s on sale. Got plenty to keep me busy 😃
