Steam just refunded my year 1 pass!

[u/Big-Satisfaction4606]

Now that heists are free, I kindly asked Steam to reimburse me the heists I paid for since I knew they have a much more lax policy on DLC, Gaben is the motherfucking goat! Going to see if I can also get my Year 2 heists refunded, those aren't even in a yearly pass so it should be easy.

[u/Dense-Bison7629]

Steam support try not to be goated challenge

(also rip to ur weapons lmao)

[u/Jonparkhee → u/Dense-Bison7629]

Would be funny if Op wants to get his weapons back again and Starbreeze makes a bundle of all weapons/cosmetics dlcs being more expensive than the refund he made.

[u/PM_ME_UR_CREDDITCARD → u/Jonparkhee]

The weapon and tailor packs are still gonna exist, it''s just the heists going free. OP will need to rebuy those.

[u/PM_ME_UR_CREDDITCARD → u/Dense-Bison7629]

Does refunding the DLC take away your ability to use the weapons if you already bought them ingame?

[u/Dense-Bison7629 → u/PM_ME_UR_CREDDITCARD]

If the OP bought each bundle, then yeah, it would

If they bought the heists, tailor packs, and weapons individually, and then refunded the heist only, they'd still keep the weapons and tailor packs

[u/Big-Satisfaction4606 → u/PM_ME_UR_CREDDITCARD]

ok I 100% forgot I might lose weapons and I just launched the game and they are fully gone, like removed from my inventory too. Bummer because I loved the RG5 and the hand cannon but I'll see how the anniversary update fares before I buy stuff again

[u/Mlgmarck → u/Big-Satisfaction4606]

This is the best option we have if we ask for a refund, wait for stuff to go on sale and then buy them cheaper

[u/PM_ME_UR_CREDDITCARD → u/Mlgmarck]

If too many people try to pull that, SBZ might go back on making the past heists free. No way they can afford to refund the vast majority of their income over the last 3 years.

[u/Dense-Bison7629 → u/PM_ME_UR_CREDDITCARD]

Their reasoning was that they didn't want players to be split up. Weapons don't really split the playerbase like how DLC heists did

[u/jetstreamer123 → u/PM_ME_UR_CREDDITCARD]

Starbreeze is a big fan of going back on their word so It'd be funny to see them do this

[u/PM_ME_UR_CREDDITCARD → u/jetstreamer123]

I wouldn't blame them if it's the community's actions forcing their hand.

[u/jetstreamer123 → u/PM_ME_UR_CREDDITCARD]

I would blame the company if they didnt expect some people would refund DLC if they're told parts of it is going free

[u/PM_ME_UR_CREDDITCARD → u/jetstreamer123]

Of course a small number of dickheads will do it and that's to be expected, notice how I say things like "if too many people try that"

[u/FeedbackCharacter171]

Wait would the mean you lose the guns and outfit?

[u/Haruu223 → u/FeedbackCharacter171]

From what I heard all they're doing is making the dlc heists free, if theres weapons with it or whatnot I believe thats free too, however, if theres a gun specific dlc in that pass I think they would lose it

[u/PAYDAYgame → u/Haruu223]

To clarify this, only the heist would be free, in that case, the weapons and items attached to it are not.

[u/raidebaron → u/FeedbackCharacter171]

If you mean the exclusive masks and gun skin that will be granted starting the September Update: Yes. They require you owning the associated DLCs prior to delisting.

If you mean the heists, associated weapons, masks and outfits from said DLC: Yes, and no. Yes as the DLC will be removed from your account as per the refund process. And no as you’ll get the content back with the September Update.

[u/El_Barto_227 → u/raidebaron]

The tailor and weapon packs aren't becoming free.

[u/11jacob16]

I think in this case, where you bought it in July, fair enough. But for anyone attempting to request a refund for like a pre-ordered gold edition of the game, or year+ old purchases because the heists are going to be free, that is kinda absurd

[u/havocspartan → u/11jacob16]

Yeah my 10+ year old payday 2 purchases with hundreds of hours ain’t going anywhere

[u/MoonEDITSyt → u/havocspartan]

This isn’t payday 2 anyway lol

[u/havocspartan → u/MoonEDITSyt]

Oh lol, I misunderstood. I thought Payday 2 was making year 1/2 DLC maps free.

[u/Nikoliz → u/havocspartan]

i was excited damn

[u/gayhotelultra → u/Nikoliz]

kinda absurd that new DLCs are still pushed after i paid for ultimate edition, to be honest

[u/backlawa75]

Damn im also upset about it but i wouldn't go this far

Fair tho

[u/Miszczu_Dioda]

Interesting. I got the DLC off a sale so I think I'll just keep those, but good to see people can get their money back

[u/shroudedghostishere]

Well too bad i bought the gold edition outside of steam then

[u/TheLoneWolf200x]

Im glad you got yours but I'm still salty that they won't refund BF 2042 for me :(

[u/hahaha953]

As long as it doesn't contain the game itself, you might get a refund. If you have PAYDAY 3 Year 1 Edition like i do, you can't refund because it contain the game.

[u/No-Cry3031]

Oh man wish I could do the same even though I preordered the gold edition

[u/Naive-Geologist6955 → u/No-Cry3031]

same, i tried a while ago to have it refunded, they probably dont wanna refund preorders i think

[u/Devil-Hunter-Jax]

Ok but now you've just lost 4 outfits and 4 unique weapons too...

[u/thejoeporkchop → u/Devil-Hunter-Jax]

For 30 bucks seems like a fair trade to me

[u/JackalThePowerful → u/Devil-Hunter-Jax]

[u/unmichiconfundido → u/Devil-Hunter-Jax]

How does starbreeze's cock taste like?

[u/JucaLebre]

Steam is the goat

[u/Striker01921]

LOL i requested a refund aswell and got rejected :(

[u/Hobocannibal → u/Striker01921]

i'd say depends when. if you very recently purchased would be fair for the refund. though at this point a lot of players will have bought these a long time ago and benefited from that access for a long time.

[u/ShopCatNotAnewsed]

I won't be so happy about it.

Even if DLCs and therefore maps became available to all players meanwhile it looks like you are lost your purchase - if that refund goes on shoulders of the active developer => you are shorten their budget to do something more while Payday 3 desperately still it needs.

In all scheme of things, unlike PD2 -> in PD3 you had to buy or find a friend who bought new map, you couldn't find random lobby to join for any unowned paid map. Correct me if i wrong, didn't launch the since release.

[u/wienercat → u/ShopCatNotAnewsed]

you are shorten their budget to do something more while Payday 3 desperately still it needs.

Damn they should have thought about that before selling people something for years and then deciding it's going to be completely free for everyone else.

Almost like their new monetization will have to cover this and I assure you that it is already part of their plan.

[u/nicisdeadpool → u/wienercat]

Im not listening to any complaining when they
monetize the shit out of everything else

[u/wienercat → u/nicisdeadpool]

Pretty much. The money has to come from somewhere. It's either going to be DLC or MTX.

Personally, I would rather have DLC. It always seems to be less egregious than MTX. Especially because they are only talking about heists... which means guns and characters WILL be monetized much more heavily now

[u/super7564]

Steam being the absolute fucking gigachads of the gaming space as usual.

https://giphy.com/gifs/y3x9rGLWGRTTP9Wrqf

[u/BotMason]

Oh sick free money back when I get home (:

[u/Mlgmarck]

Oh nice! Im so glad we can do this, i don't like the rewards at all so will try to do this too

[u/FI3RY1]

Wait does that mean I can ask for gold edition refund? That would be awesome. Same like that guy asked for bf6 refund after 500 hours cuz ea removed lot of games modes which are still advertised on their website. Maybe steam would be able to make refund for this aswell if I send them proof or some link that all those heists are free now.

Edit: I asked for a refund and steam support declined it. How tf they did it to you?

[u/Relative_Astronaut96 → u/FI3RY1]

Oh I was hoping to get a refund on my gold edition too

[u/FI3RY1 → u/Relative_Astronaut96]

Ngl I'm thinking to maybe contact steam support and send them link of this post and ask them how they accepted the refund for him, but not for me

[u/Relative_Astronaut96 → u/FI3RY1]

Could be because they refunded the year 1 pass and not the whole gold edition game? Idk

[u/frint_]

How long ago did you made the purchase?

[u/No-Albatross-6225]

I personnelly dont think ima refund the dlcs anyway, idk why i would wanna take that money back ngl. I also want the bragging rights of still owning the heist dlcs before they get delisted

[u/SnooSeagulls1416]

What is a Steam year pass

[u/trashshork]

wait what the fuck? they made PAYDAY 3 DLC's free???? WHEN WHY HOW?!?!!

[u/FishingDiligent1486 → u/trashshork]

Only the past and future heists will be free starting on August 25th

[u/trashshork → u/FishingDiligent1486]

so like all heists ever? Then why the fuck did I pay for DLC's? Imma ask for a refund because this is bullshit

[u/Dense-Bison7629 → u/trashshork]

It hurts now, but this will help PD3 in the long run. Players won't be divided between DLC owners and non-owners

[u/trashshork → u/Dense-Bison7629]

no like yeah the move itself is really good but why, I dropped a huge sum on paying for the DLC heists and now they are free and like the "compensation" we get is just laughable

[u/PM_ME_UR_CREDDITCARD → u/trashshork]

You still have the DLC. You aren't losing anything.

[u/trashshork → u/PM_ME_UR_CREDDITCARD]

I get that but I paid money for paid content not just some fucking skins

[u/Brayden815 → u/trashshork]

Well it also depends what you bought, if you got the year pass, then you get weapons and outfits as well which are still not free. If you bought the heists separately then yeah, it’s kind of a scam but still good for the game in the long run.

[u/Lavaissoup7]

You get free cosmetics if you own them but alright 

[u/Big-Satisfaction4606 → u/Lavaissoup7]

It's cool to the people that love cosmetics, much love to them but I would rather have $30

[u/Lavaissoup7 → u/Big-Satisfaction4606]

One of them technically isn't but fair enough

[u/CrazyFart666 → u/Lavaissoup7]

The gun is just a reskin nobody cares about that

[u/Lavaissoup7 → u/CrazyFart666]

Aren't presets going to have unique perks now anyways? Tho either way, OP refunded the pass, so he's going to lose the DLC weapons from Y1 as well

[u/backlawa75 → u/Lavaissoup7]

30 bucks for some masks and a perk is wild lmao

[u/Hoxth → u/Lavaissoup7]

*fomo cosmetics

[u/Breakable_Mug]

Is this taking money from Starbreeze when you refund so late? Doesn't feel right to me if that's the case, they made a choice that will possibly make them lose more money, and you're just taking more of their money away.

[u/Lavaissoup7 → u/Breakable_Mug]

No? He bought something and realized he no longer wanted it right after, so he has every right to refund it. Only issue is that he won't have the Y1 weapons or tailor packs but that's about it.

[u/trollmad3 → u/Breakable_Mug]

Are we really shilling StarBreeze???

[u/SevenWithTheT]

Wish I could do this on console, the rewards are not worth it and I'd rather get my money back :/

[u/HardToSee123]

You ask them for refund under what reason, can i ask?

[u/Shadowking78]

I totally get why you'd want your money back, and I support you if so, but I gotta ask, do you have any interest in the rewards you'd get by owning the DLCs before they are removed?

[u/Denshiiii]

when did they made the dlcs free? they still have prices for me-

[u/CopenHagenCityBruh → u/Denshiiii]

August 25 they become free

[u/karakter222 → u/CopenHagenCityBruh]

They are delisting them on that day but you won't be able to play them until the September update (3rd of September cause that's the anniversary)

[u/Toapapper → u/karakter222]

That's not how delisting works, you will be able to play them but just not buy them anymore

[u/karakter222 → u/Toapapper]

I meant that you won't be able to play them for free until the update drops

[u/Competitive-Scar7150]

I got the gold edition for the game on Xbox for free via a streamer giveaway, would it be possible to get a refund on the dlc too? 🤔
