Yep. I refunded. Steam support will refund no matter how much hours you have as
- DICE promised that Portal would be the new "server browser" with same exp as regular games
- DICE then drastically nerfed all Portal game exp.
Lying to sell a product is against Steam terms of service and they will refund no matter how many hours.
Im playing battlefield 4 now and not going back
What exactly did you put in your ticket to Steam mate if you don't mind me asking?. I would like to refund i've had enough 😞

Here’s a clear bulletin-style set of instructions you can post or follow to request a Steam refund for false or misleading marketing (e.g. “developers lied about features that don’t exist in game”):
---
🧾 How to Request a Refund on Steam (for False or Misleading Marketing)
Reason: Developers advertised features that do not exist or were falsely represented in the store page or trailers.
---
Step 1: Go to Steam Support
1. Open your web browser and go to:
🔗 https://help.steampowered.com
2. Log in with your Steam account.
---
Step 2: Select the Game
1. Under “Recent Purchases”, click the game you want to refund.
If you don’t see it there, click “Purchases” and find it in your purchase history.
---
Step 3: Choose the Issue
1. Click “I have a question about this purchase” or “It’s not what I expected.”
2. Then choose “I’d like to request a refund.”
---
Step 4: Explain the Reason
In the text box, clearly explain why you believe the game was falsely advertised.
Example wording:
> The game’s marketing and store page claimed features (e.g., multiplayer, open world systems, [insert specific features]) that are not present in the actual game.
This constitutes misleading advertising, and I am requesting a refund on the basis of false or deceptive marketing practices.
---
Step 5: Submit the Request
Review your submission and click “Submit request.”
You’ll get a confirmation email from Steam Support.
Refunds are typically processed within a few days.
---
Extra Tips
Time limit: Steam usually allows refunds within 14 days of purchase and under 2 hours of playtime, but they approve exceptions for false advertising or technical deception.
Evidence helps: If possible, include brief proof (screenshots or quotes) showing the claims vs. reality.
Be concise and polite: Steam staff are more likely to grant refunds when the reason is clear and factual.

Unfortunately for me I bought on Amazon, and I already got a refund for a digital item on there a couple months ago (antivirus that no longer works in America), so I was told when I contacted Amazon that I couldn't get a refund for this game.
If they don't fix this and revert to previous state this is it for buying EA games full price for me. I've been burned in the past, but at least then they actually reverted some things. This is inexcusable.

Thanks in advance."Response:
"We cannot offer a refund of your Steam wallet for this purchase. One of the products exceeds the allowed playtime of 2 hours (the maximum allowed playtime according to our refund policy)."I'm from Germany.
