MODERATORS
To be fair, the game wasn't supposed to be sold in those countries to begin with. Sony and Valve screwed up the region settings.
But it was, so who is going to take responsibility for it? Is Sony going to back down from the requirement? Is Valve going to refund all those users?
Honestly, I think Sony is going to be more stubborn than Valve. I saw in another thread where some people were getting approved for their Steam refunds even after passing the 2-hour refund window, so it looks like Valve may already be the first to cave.
Sony's probably going to continue digging their heels in, though.
Can confirm, saw one approved refund with 97 hours on the clock.
Sometimes (almost always) I wish that the refunded money wouldn't come out of Steams/Valves pocket...
From what I've heard Valve is already refunding most everyone who asks for a refund given this controversy.
