Medal of Honor refund from Steam

Community Founder Joined: Jun 30, 2005 Posts: 3677

Hi all, I emailed steam support today in hope I could get a refund for a pre-purchase of the Game Medal of Honor.
In all honesty I did not hold out much hope as I explained that I had played the beta and basically didnt like the game and would likely not play the full version.
To my surprise I have just received a Paypal email showing they have refunded me Very Happy

Very suprised

This is there reply....

I had to kick off and threaten to uninstall steam / spout bollocks about distance selling regulations to get a refund on the first MW. Had pre-ordered whilst drunk and not realised it was a tenner more expensive than from play/game. Asked for refund next day and got nowhere even though was still before launch. Only got the refund after a further two emails complaining.

For all its positives Steam can be a bugger.
