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
