I love Paradox and have purchased every nearly every title they have released. I was on Steam and thinking about which version of Planetfall I was going to purchase and at the bottom of the page that compares the versions there was a line that said previous owners of Age of Wonders get 10% off. I jumped at the expensive version knowing that I would probably buy all the dlc anyway and that 10% off didn't hurt either.

When I checked out, I did not get the discount. I immediately sent a message about it to Steam, including a screen shot of their 10% off offer, and continued to play and enjoy my game. The response I got, the next day was that that deal was only for pre-order, even though the offer I screen shotted didn’t state that and was still on the site after the game was live, and this:

“Please let us know if you need help with a refund should you prefer not to own this game at the full price.”

I want the game and I want them to honor their 10% off offer. If they refuse to do that, then yes I wanted a refund.
Today, I got a message that said they wouldn’t refund my money because I had more than two hours played.
I have been a loyal customer of Steam for years with more than a hundred purchases. I told them I will no longer be using Steam for my purchases. They do not honor the information on their site and then offer and then renege on a refund.

I don't blame Paradox, and don't really want them to do anything except maybe have a conversation with Steam about not ripping of their customers. It's a great game, buy it, just not on Steam.

...you got your auto refund denied now go talk to support. the Auto refund has pretty strict rules because it's Auto, Support can be more flexible.

that said... how long did it take you to notice you had no discount?

Friend, Steam shows you how much you are paying when you buy the game. It specifically shows you any discounts that are applying. You know this if you have 100 steam games. It showed you how much you would be paying when you hit the button to buy it.

I can see why you got frustrated about it but you didn't get ripped off...
