I've been using steam for over 7 years … I've been using steam for over 7 years now, some mixed experiences over the years but generally glad to have all my games on steam these days. Sure DRM is hardly pro-consumer, but I'd much rather see that a game runs through steam than just about any other platform. Many standalone games that are also on steam typically leave me wanting to steam version, I can't say that about any other platform. Sales aren't what they used to be and as a result of their 'every game must participate' policy, it's lead to a lot of games remaining at full price for years after their release and only worth buying if on sale, if even then [it's been years since I've spent more than £5 during a sale]. Refunds, if used infrequently, have been good. But, be careful of playing for too long [more than 2 hours] or you'll not get a refund, so don't go afk or leave a game running in the background unless you're sure it works and you want to keep it [e.g. game crashes but doesn't close, you tab out to look for solutions, don't find any but during that time you're now over 2 hours 'played' and can't get a refund].

The service is terrible The service is terrible, I only signed up because I really like the game I wanted, but the rest is terrible, I hope to get something better soon.

now this is review bombing -

They are an amazing company! They are an amazing company!! My boyfriend paid for and downloaded a game without realizing it wasn’t the version he wanted. When he reached out, they gave him a full refund and responded in the same day, even though the mistake was all on him. Such a lovely service with great customer service!! Highly recommend!!!

I was banned for saying "Who let… I was banned for saying "Who let grandma on the PC" and another for simply calling someone ignorant. Power tripping mods, devs who don't care, steam doesn't care. Yet allows racism/trolling/etc Fk steam, its a joke now.
