    Yeah it’s fucked. I was taking a bit of a break, maybe it becomes a permanent one.

      Unfortunately they already have your money.

      I was on vacation and planning to buy it when I got back and encourage all my ex LOL friends to join too, but…

      Thank you for your service.

        Sounds like Steam may be allowing refunds for this. Worth a try

          I’ve heard that

          A) you have to trigger a manual review (your first attempt will be denied by a bot, second refund request is usually manually reviewed). So you have to request a refund at least twice.

          B) get lucky, because not everyone seems to be getting refunds.

          It may be a regional thing (giving refunds to people who live in areas where PSN isn’t available), or it could just be pure luck.

              Personally, I don’t have the game. I was interested in getting it, but I’ve lost a lot of interest due to this move. However, I wanted to help let people know that it’s worth asking for a refund, but that they may need to submit a second request before it’s approved.

              Go to your purchase history, find the purchase of Helldivers, click on it, click on I have a question about that transaction. Then write your refund request

        Steam is currently granting refunds regardless of play time. Open a support ticket (the automated system is still subject to the default rules).

      Same. I was getting bored and tired of the balance patch > bug cycle. Figured I’d put it down till probably the illuminate arrival. Now I guess I won’t get the experience of being the only diver fighting the squids like in the first game. Shame, but I got my money’s worth.
