Valve says the time it takes to download Microsoft Flight Simulator won't
affect refund requests
https://tinyurl.com/yyxxx7tb
Downloading Microsoft Flight Simulator takes a while: It's a hefty game
weighing in at around 127 GB. The Steam download is only a 532MB client,
though. The bulk of the game is installed as an 'update' from within the game
menu.
While the game client is open, the 'hours played' clock on Steam begins
ticking. That means that even when all you're doing is downloading the games
files, you're racking up minutes or hours of 'play time.'
Steam's policy lets you refund a game with fewer than two hours played, but
for most people it takes more than two hours to download the game. So, some
worried that if they wanted to request a refund of Microsoft Flight Simulator
on Steam for whatever reason, their request would be automatically rejected
simply because Steam thinks they've actually played it for more than two
hours.
We asked Valve about the issue, and VP of Marketing Doug Lombardi replied.
"The time it takes your machine to download the additional content will not
be counted against the Steam Refund Policy," he wrote in an email.
"We are working with Microsoft to see if we can improve the download
experience," Lombardi also told us, though he didn't elaborate further.

简单来说，微软模拟飞行这游戏在Steam下载的大概只有500MB的微软客户端，剩下的
127GB要进游戏从以更新的方式下载下来。
而这结果是多数都会超过两小时，这就超过Steam退款时限了。 (购买后14天内玩不到2小
时。)
PCGamer去问Valve这问题，Valve表示下载其它内容的时间不会计入游玩时间内，同时他们
也在和微软合作看能不能改善下载问题。

怒玩500小时再来退款

我前几天看我朋友PO 成功发动某飞机引擎成就3.7%

“下载”时间

真的超好笑 下载时间算游戏时间

因为这游戏是从Steam下载客户端再进游戏更新127GB正常在Steam都是Steam下载更新 不用进游戏而且这更新好像是从微软伺服那更新的 有人抓上好几天的样子....XD

ubi 之前的绑steam的启动器也算时间，超烂游戏打不开时间还一直跑

不错啊~有去解决

论实体版为啥有市场因为可以减少下载时间

微软这套你一定要下载啦,他图资2pb

要2小时跑完127G这种网速全世界也没几个国家办得到啊XD现在松绑是理所当然的，不过还是要说微软够硬才办得到

这种硬派游戏 还一堆人跟风去玩

PC 版 Xbox game pass 第一个月 3x 台币 就有了

现在都5G了

XDDD

还好ㄅ 18M/s就能抓完惹 台湾有机会

台湾可以啦，中华 300M 网络跑大概有个 20～30 吧，但我不清楚略软的下载频宽有没有 Steam 那么硬。

中华光世代300M也不是每个地区都可以办台湾地这么小都没办法普及了，土地更大的国家更难吧？

这样才合理啊 不然下载时间超长还算游戏时间实在太好笑XD

啊就跟风仔一堆啊
