    Digital refunds coming


    A new feature is coming where you can get a refund on a digital game.

    If the purchase is within 14 days & you have played less than 2 hours of the game then you can get a refund on a digital game purchase via your account.

    This doesn't apply to dlc,season passes etc.

    Microsoft Begins Offering Self-Service Refunds on Digital Game Purchases

    About time methinks & it should make things clearer about refunds.Bought quite a few stinkers in the past that I would of liked to get a refund on but couldn't due to the no refunds policy.

    :)

    Also really good for this times when you buy a game and then it goes on sale a week later. If it'll allow you to repurchase it that is.

  5. Thereddragon (Youtube) reported on this a few hours ago, at that time I remembered how 1 Xbox gamer got a week or 2 ban for contacting support and obtaining refunds.

    My how time R achanging.

  6. That's perfect. There really should be refund option on digital titles, as well as a clear-cut policy.

    Some games certainly don't live up to the hype once released, and that'll cause a lot of dissatisfaction when people have to jump hoops to get a refund on a digital purchase. Hopefully that allieviates that problem a bit once the next big disappointment comes
    out!

    Getting a refund on a digital title right now is basically at the mercy of the customer rep, as far as I know. Even then, like what ElectroFlying mentioned, I've occasionally come across some posts that doing this causes a few people to get banned for "stealing
    from the marketplace", but maybe that's for those people with a heavy pattern of committing what is basically "return fraud" (buy it, play it for a while, then schmooze up customer service for a refund).

    Yeah,in those cases the person has a pattern of getting or trying to get a lot of refunds.

    If a game is broken then it isn't a problem.

    Then again,support shouldn't be handing out refunds willy nilly anyway.

    This will make things a lot easier & clearer.

    The whole "no refunds" thing on digital games was outdated.

    2 refunds a year, ask for a 3rd within a year and.....

    "You're a thief!" - Then out comes the BANHAMMER.

    Luckely, I only asked for 2 refunds totalling a whopping $5.00 - Just think, if I had asked for another plug nickels worth. I would have been branded a thief.

    Waiting for the Entitled gamers to start complaining that 14 days and 2 hours isn't enough.

    How are they supposed to finish a game in 2 hours? Digital refunds coming :p

  11. Microsoft is behind. Steam already does it, and has been doing so for a while. And you're not a thief if you request a refund. You're just standing up to your human and legal rights. And besides, when a refund is approved, your existing license is disabled.

  12. And the bizarre thing is that they were behind EA in offering digital refunds.

    What an odd world we live in when a company voted the worst were also the first to give basic consumer rights.
