    I wonder if it’s going to take several hours to download all the world content before allowing into you into the menu screen like MSFS2020 does.

    I wonder if they’ll insist on using MS servers for the content and will be kept at MS server caps at 5MBPS, meaning that it will take 20+ hours of downloading before you can even play, pulling you outside of the 2 hour Steam return window.

      Afaik Steam does refund games if you tell support that you spent time troubleshooting or waited for the launcher to download the actual files.
      Though I only think to have read about it. No concrete proof.

        Yeah the Steam refund 2 hour thing is just the no questions asked guaranteed refund window. You can absolutely request a refund outside of that window and they’ll be quite reasonable in most cases.

        Hell, they’ve been refunding Linux users for GTAV this week because of the change to BattleEye.

        Years ago, I tried cities skylines on a sort of shitty PC… spent at least 8 hours trying to get it to work, then just gave up.

        Requested a refund and it was granted almost immediately.

        I bought a better PC and repurchased, and not it runs fine but the game itself is pretty mod dependent and I have spent more time installing and uninstalling mods than actually playing the game.

        So yes, ask for a refund and you will probably get it even outside the 2hour window.
