The Epic Games Store has altered its refund policy so users can return games they’ve played for less than two hours within 14 days of purchase.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It’s a change that means the fledgling marketplace, which only launched in December last year, now offers exactly the same refund options\u00a0as competitor Steam.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Epic’s director of publishing strategy Sergey Galyonkin (who some of you might know as Steam Spy) announced the policy change on Twitter<\/a>, explaining users seeking a refund will have to apply through player support while the team works on a self-service solution.\u00a0<\/p>\n He also revealed the storefront now supports regional prices for 30 different countries, with more due to be added in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Epic Games Store has been making waves since being unveiled last year, and has been praised by games developers for offering a universal 88 percent revenue share<\/a>.<\/p>\n Although it only featured a handful of titles at launch<\/a>, more have been added in the weeks since, and Epic claimed a big scalp last week then Ubisoft\u00a0revealed<\/a> it would only be launching the PC version of The Division 2<\/em> on Uplay and the Epic Store —\u00a0making it one of the first big-name releases to skip Steam in favor of the nascent marketplace.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Epic Games Store has altered its refund policy so users can return games they’ve played for less than two hours within 14 days of purchase.\u00a0 It’s a change that means the fledgling marketplace, which only launched in December last year, now offers exactly the same refund options\u00a0as competitor Steam.\u00a0 Epic’s director of publishing strategy […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":75514,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-75513","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sickgaming.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sickgaming.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sickgaming.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sickgaming.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sickgaming.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75513"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sickgaming.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75513\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sickgaming.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75514"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sickgaming.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sickgaming.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75513"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sickgaming.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
