    109000 copies at $40 minus the 30% steam cut. That’s about 3 million dollars they’re walking away with.

          Valve doesn’t pay out until the end of the month typically the following month. So yes so long as they meet the policy of 2 hours, and under 2 weeks.

          I saw someone say that Valve holds back a portion of the revenue to cover potential refunds. If that’s true, I wonder if that’s calculated dynamically as it sounds like this is a higher than normal refund rate.

          In addition to what the other people replying to you said this isn’t valves first rodeo and when a game is this much of a shitshow valve steps in and waives the normal refund policy (have to refund with < 2hrs and within 2 weeks of buying the game) valve has a reputation to uphold and honestly they do that really well imo
