Two week idle time for second time refunding (NOT about playtime)
Somebody wrote in a game forum:

"I have two weeks to refund. Today is the 13th day but I just dont have time at moment. If I refund and later buy it again, I will only have 1 day left to test it".


  • Is that written somewhere that the two weeks idle time resets or not resets after a refund?

if at least one limit of the two is passed, you're not eligible anymore.

Playtime does not reset if you rebuy the game after refunding.

all play time counts. buy and play for 1 hour, refund, rebuy and play for 1.5 hours means you have exceeded the 2 hour playtime requirement.

the refund system is not there to demo games. if steam believes you are using it to demo games the can refuse and remove the ability to get refunds.

playtime is shared. As for the idle time I dont know, probably not

The 2 weeks resets each time it is purchased.

It's not called "idle time". There is only play time and length of ownership since purchase. Playtime is cumulative. Length of ownership is not.

No.

"If I refund a game, will my playtime be removed from my Steam Community Profile?
No, playtime will not be removed from your Steam Community Profile."

Edit: I see what you mean that "idle time" is a purchase date. It resets because, well, an old purchase went poof once refunded, and re-buying starts with a new purchase.
