The problem is many games don't hold my attention for more than two hours . so 90 percent of the games I buy I could have refunded.  Once this spreads to steams profits they'll quickly dump the system .

Just like paid mods lol

I can see it happening.

What parts of it do you think need to be reworked? Things like reducing the time below 2 hours or making consumers write a legitimate reason why they want to

Should be lowered to 15 minutes of play time. That's enough for most legit returns.

Then have an additional return policy set. 30 days, no limit on play time, but you must call Valve on the phone to do it.

Haha no!

The problem with the current refund system is that it's too easy. "Ok that game was short and mediocre, refund button!" My idea forces gamers to get out phones and talk to real people. Maybe spend 20 minutes waiting for a person. They'd even have to come up with a reason for why they were wanting a refund. Will it still be abused? Of course, but I think the amount of abusers would drop significantly. It wouldn't be worth the hassle for scammers.

Just change it to 1 hour and we're good

Yeah, I think 1 hour is the sweet spot. Not too much, not too little.

Yup. And they're editing the menu interface a lot to make it easier and more intuitive to use. Also adding cool functionality like better tutorials, better party system, more options for viewing games etc
