> They also have a much friendlier refund policy.

I can see why steam has an easier refund policy. It’s easy to buy a game that doesn’t work well (or at all) on your hardware.

But the switch shouldn’t have this issue, and that’s basically only reason I would ever return a game.




Steam has a refund policy because consumer law requires them to have a refund policy.


I’m unaware of any law that would require steam to have a more customer friendly refund policy than Nintendo does, which was the point I was addressing.

The current Steam refund policy is a result of consumer law in Australia.
