Steam's amazing system that ALL companies should copy [ ENG - ESP ]

Gracias por pasar, version en español abajo

One of the most important video game companies, creators of both industry-defining titles and platforms that do the same and remain dominant to this day, Valve has always been, for me, the mirror most companies should look at if they want to please gamers. Its foundation, Steam, is one of the most enjoyable experiences I remember on PC.

There's a huge catalog in every sense. This is where most of the indie games I've noticed are located. There are all the demos for upcoming titles that let players install and play whatever the developers have at the time. There's a number of offerings that can't be surpassed by any other platform, aside from this one. post

There's a system that clearly defines what Steam means to the player, one that values ​​the player's money and is understandable in situations like buying a game one day and the next Steam has a sale that significantly reduces its price.

Steam refunds are something that other platforms like Epic Games or GoG have to closely monitor. It seems like something mundane or unimportant, but the important thing is how the player perceives it in these cases. The individual has just enough money to buy video games, the vast majority of which are not. Cheap

Common Steam refunds work like this: You buy a video game and install it on your PC. You play it for less than two hours and decide that you didn't like it or that it's not worth the money you paid. In that case, Steam refunds everything. Money back, no questions asked, if it's been less than 14 days since purchase.

But what happens to the player who bought the game, played it for more than 2 hours, but after 4 days, a sale appears on Steam that reduces the price by 70%?

Well, it's a response that surprised me on their part, and something worth noting in an industry that is marked today more than ever by companies using every trick in the book to get money from players.

And if it hasn't been too long since you made the purchase, you'll be able to return it. According to official comments from some Steam managers, the priority will ALWAYS be the user, so if you haven't had much time with the game, you'll be able to return it.

This is something I was able to test for myself a few weeks ago when I bought a video game I'd been wanting to play for some time, and ONE DAY LATER they offered a 40% discount.

I didn't mind the extra price because this game was quite good, but it's always good to have a little extra money for more games. And Steam has you covered in this case, which, if we think about it, would be great if it were the industry standard.

Una de las compañias mas importantes del videojuego, padres tanto de titulos que marcaron un antes y un despues en la industria como de plataformas que hicieron lo mismo y siguen siendo dominantes hasta el dia de hoy, Valve ha sido siempre para mi el espejo en donde debe verse la mayoria de las compañias si quieren agradar a los jugadores, su base, Steam es una de las experiencias mas gratas que recuerdo en PC.



Source

Hay un catalogo gigantesco en todos los sentidos, aqui es en donde estan la mayoria de los videojuegos independientes que llego a notar por ahi, estan todos los demos de titulos futuros que dejan al jugador instalar y jugar lo que tienen los devs en ese momento, hay una cantidad de ofertas que no puede ser superada por ninguna de las demas plataformas ademas del tema de este post

Hay un sistema que define muy bien lo que steam significa para el jugador, uno que valora el dinero del jugador y es comprensible con situaciones como comprar un juego un dia y al siguiente steam saca una oferta que reduce su precio considerablemente


Source

Los reembolsos en steam son algo que otras plataformas como epic games o gog tienen que ver muy de cerca, parece algo que es mundano o sin importancia, pero lo importante es como lo percibe el jugador en estos casos, el individuo tiene el dinero justo para comprar videojuegos que en su basta mayoria no son baratos



Source

Los reembolsos comunes en steam funcionan de esta manera, tu compras un videojuego y lo instalas en tu pc, lo juegas por menos de 2 horas y decides que el videojuego no te ha gustado o no vale la pena por el dinero que pagaste, en ese caso steam devuelve todo el dinero sin preguntas y si han pasado menos de 14 dias desde la compra

Pero que le pasa al jugador que ha comprado el juego, lo ha jugado mas de las 2 horas pero a los 4 dias llega una oferta a la plataforma de steam que rebaja su precio en un 70%?



Source

Pues es una respuesta que me ha sorprendido de parte de ellos, y el algo para notar en una industria que esta marcada hoy mas que nunca por empresas que usan todos los trucos disponibles en la bolsa para sacarle dinero al jugador.

Y es que si no ha pasado mucho tiempo desde que hiciste la compra vas a poder devolverlo, segun los comentarios oficiales de algunos de los responsables de steam la prioridad SIEMPRE va a ser el usuario, asi que si no tienes demasiado tiempo con el juego vas a poder devolverlo



Source

Esto es algo que pude probar por mi mismo hace algunas semanas cuando compre un videojuego que tenia bastantes ganas de jugar desde hace algun tiempo y UN DIA DESPUES ofrecieron un descuento del 40%

No me importó mucho el sobreprecio porque este juego era uno bastante bueno pero siempre es bueno tener un poco de dinero extra para mas juegos, y steam en este caso te tiene cubierto, algo que si nos ponemos a pensar estaria genial que fuese el standard de la industria

Steam is one of my favorite platforms, I've gotten video games for free as I've had to buy some when they have those totally awesome sales, as I've also had the chance to buy a game at 5$ and tomorrow you find it for free XD

Steam is a clear winner, love their practices. The only time I want to support a monopoly is with Steam lol. In a world where corporate greed is taking over everything, someone thinks about the user experience.

if there is one monopoly I appreciate it is steam, they have had their faults but the return to the players far outweighs the bad
