Flight Simulator 2020: Steam Users Appeal for Extended Refunds

After a hard day at work, Flight Simulator by Microsoft might just be the game you were looking for to relax. The easygoing nature, ideal low-stakes, alleviating gaming experience fused with exact realism makes this game a must buy.

It possesses the calibre of transcending one to a whole new dimension brimming with tranquillity.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is also a bulky game which will occupy about 127GB of a system’s storage!

After downloading a portion as small as 532MB of this digital marvel from Stream, the rest of the chunk is installed through an in-game download mechanism.

The Valve developed digital distribution service, Stream, offers a spell of two hours to users for reimbursing a game.

Note that the in-game installation proceeding takes more than two hours. Therefore, even when a gamer is downloading this hefty game, the Stream servers are piling on those minutes as ‘play time.’

All the enthusiasts were visibly exasperated by this and a fanatic’s review on Stream read “Microsoft, why did you have me install Microsoft Flight Simulator on Steam? I have to keep the game open to download content through your own servers.

Now I am unable to get a refund because I need to keep the game open to download the game in the first place. This is redundant and I hope Steam fixes this issue.

It is unacceptable for someone to boot up the game and have eight hours of non-game-time because they were downloading the game.”

“The time it takes your machine to download the additional content will not be counted against the Steam Refund Policy. We are working with Microsoft to see if we can improve the download experience.”

Doug Lombardi, Marketing Vice President,Valve

In conclusion, no aid is provided by Stream whatsoever. One will need to have an unbudgeable, high-speed internet connection to install and play the Flight Simulator.

This is the chief reason for Microsoft Flight Simulator having mediocre reader reviews as the refund policy of Stream was enormously excoriated.

Launched on 18th August, the base variant of the Microsoft Flight Simulator is priced at 59.99$. While the deluxe and premium editions will cost interested buyers 89.99$ and 119.99$ respectively.
