Well I purchased Outrun 2006 C2C from STEAM as they state on STEAMS site

http://www.steampowered.com/v/index.php?area=app&AppId=4730&cc=GB
QUOTE Online Multiplayer madness - take on 6 other drivers online!

I couldnt get it to work online so i contacted STEAM who said contact the developer.
So i contacted SEGA who then said that ONLINE gameplay has been removed. :confused:

Why i thought.?? Anyhow what do you think my chances are of getting a refund of the game from STEAM as it clearly doent do what they say on the tin :mad:

Maybe they removed it due to it being rubbish?

Rangler · 22 Aug 2008 at 13:57

Maybe so, but surely this is false advertising.??

I brought it so i could play it with my bro online (old school arcade fans and that)

Snakedoctor · 22 Aug 2008 at 13:59

Perhaps email them and they will refund you?

Rangler · 22 Aug 2008 at 14:00

Have done, reopened original ticket so we'll see what happens.

Absolutely, it's not doing what it says it does on the tin, you have every right to a full refund.

Again that may have been the case but would still have been nice to know before hand, like i said i bought the game with the intention of playing it online with my Bro' only to find out that that particular aspect of the game has been removed.

Not really. Bought GRID for about the same price as elsewhere.

Expensive?

I think a lot of the games on it are a bargin!

You should be able to get a refund under the Sale of Goods Act yes

I love how they haven't even updated the web page yet.

I got prey for £2.50, and a pile o' other games on the cheap..

Steam games can be really quite cheap, especially when they're on offer. It's pretty much just the Activision games that are expensive, as they set an gorged price.

New stuff can be pricey compared to retail, or especially compared to cheap online retailers, but definitely some bargains for older games.
