Today we have updated a portion of our Refund Policy regarding pre-purchased titles. This change covers titles that are in pre-purchase and offer “Advanced Access”. Playtime acquired during the Advanced Access period will now count towards the Steam refund period. You can find our more information regarding Steam Refunds here.
I wish this wasn’t like this. Games should not be allowed to be “early access” for years on end. There should be a realistic linitation, because so many games are EA and then abandoned.
It’s not actually about Early Access. It’s about Advanced Access – when you pre-purchase a game and get to play it before the official release as a perk.
Early Access games (=games where the dev knows it isn’t done and puts it in Early Access) already had the same refund limits as regular games.

This isn’t early access, it’s advanced access, like if a game has a deluxe edition that lets people play a few days before the official release.
More like delayed release. Pay more to find all the day 1 bugs!
