Valve has introduced a refund system to Steam, allowing anyone to request their money back for "nearly any purchase" made through the client itself.

Full refunds can be issued through your initial payment method when possible, or you can ask for Steam Wallet funds instead.Almost everyone is free to request a refund via Steam's help page , but there are a few conditions. Refunds apply to games, software, pre-orders, DLC, and bundles, but not movies. If you have a VAC ban registered for the game you're trying to refund, your request will be denied for that specific game.To apply for a refund, you must submit the request within two weeks of your purchase, and have less than two hours of playtime registered for that game.In the case of bundles, the combined playtime for all games included must still be under two hours, and all of the games must be in your library. If you gift a game, you're no longer eligible for a refund.Refunds can only be given for games bought on the Steam client. That means Valve can't refund either Steam Wallet funds or Steam keys if they're purchased through third-party sites.Check out Valve's official page on Steam Refunds for more info on the system.The dates for Steam's Summer Sale were leaked after a social post went live a bit too early. You can expect to make all your impulsive Steam game purchases between June 11th and June 20th.
