Are you sure redeemed gifts can be refunded? I think not. Well at least it doesn't work on gog. You need the gift receivers consent as well before you can refund your own purchase.

You are correct.

A refund may be issued for any gift that was purchased within fourteen days and has been played less than two hours by the gift recipient.
Note: To request a refund on a Steam Gift, we will need the gift recipient to first initiate the refund and approve the removal of this purchase from their account.

1. Have the gift recipient initiate the process by requesting a refund
2. Once the refund has been verified by the gift recipient, please go to help.steampowered.com and create your refund request.

However, bank chargebacks on transactions will not go this way. Games will be blindly revoked. I know this because, about six months back or so, there was this big time trader who sold about $3000+ worth of gifts using his credit card. And you know, gifts spread and hop on from account to account. Like, he sold to many small-time traders to traders and to recipients. He was from Malaysia. And one day unfortunately, his bank itself assumed that these could be fraudulent transactions and reversed these purchases. I don't know why bank will do that on its own, but that happened according to his PSA on reddit. He started getting complaints from lots of his customers and since he was a reputed trader, he was providing refunds to all of them and was asking for others to check their accounts and come forward to request a refund. Also his Steam account got purchase-ban limited.

Chill buddy, you are safe. Looks like for redeemed gifts, gift recipient should first initiate refund.

The most important thing is that he is violating the Steam subscriber agreement:

Anyone know if the Steam Sale will be in old format (Daily Deals) or the new format (same moderate discounts throughout)?

Wow..that is still a considerable hole in the wallet, even with sales. Good luck!

I too wish for the old format. There is no fun or deep discounts in the new one. Also expecting trading card drops for crafting badges.

They are dropping for quite some time now, actually they start dropping two weeks prior to major sales (summer/holiday) instead of coupons. And IMO the newer format is far better as far as purchasing games goes, bad for traders, but good for those who just purchase games for themselves.

Oh no! I did not know this at all :serious_NF: No, I'm not a serious trader and I buy for myself like 99.5% of the time.

I like the old format because:

1. It keeps me thrilled and engaged throughout the sale days to see what's next every 8 hours.
2. You get to vote what goes next in the community choice.
3. Flash sales every 8 hours (with deep discounts that normal 8 hour sales).
4. Chance for price errors every 8 hours
5. Every 3 votes gave you a reward (trading card) which felt better than blindly Next, Next, Next your discovery queue (new format).

Not everyone has the luxury to keep constantly checking on the store page for the best deals..
