    Good guy Valve appears to be quietly figuring out refunds for folks, even though almost all are above the hours played limit

      Reminder that the hours played rule is only a limit for the automated refund system. You can request a refund for a game at any time for any reason. It just has to be manually reviewed and deemed justified by a person.

      I wonder if it’s more damage control, why are they allowing games to be sold in markets where the mandatory linking wasn’t possible?

      Steam should know this limitations, the devs knew about the requirements from Sony, it was listed on the store page since it was listed.

        Apparently they recently updated the store to no longer sell in unavailable psn regions.

        Its probably BOTH damage control AND Valve being staffed by PC nerds who ALSO dont want toxic console BS infecting the PC Sphere
