Did anyone buy "Sunset" http://store.steampowered.com/app/287600/
If so, the developer announced they are shutting down.
http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...s.com/Sunset/blog/index.php/and-the-sun-sets/

(Yes, their site is down as well).... refund time!

I'd never heard of it. Sad to see such low sales, they posted about it. Why would you want a refund because they're shutting down over low sales? It says right in the post they made that buying the game will help them. It's not some multiplayer game shutting down servers or something.

I see they have six games on Steam, all on sale, I'm gonna take a look. One reviewer:

"This was a very bold game in it's exploration of the relationships people have with other people, art, war and larger society. I think the most beautiful thing about this game was it's tribute paid to classical art. The soundtrack is gorgeous and many times while playing the game I would just sit back and listen."

I like the idea of art games, but didn't like theirs. But looking at them pointed at one that looks interesting, "Naissance", also an art game.

Most games have bugs. If developer says screw it, then, you are SOL if you run into a bug.

I'd weigh that, but not automatically not buy a game because of it.

If the game looks good and the bug reports aren't too bad, it can be worth it.

Submitted first refund request ever for Crusader Kings 2. Was overly complex and not fun, and only had 70 minutes into it. Approved within 12 hours :)

I didn't get much this time around.

Hero Siege
Prison Architect
Titan's Quest Gold

I almost bought a few others, but it appears my gaming time will be almost zero this summer and I have plenty in my library to get through anyhow.

I survived this round... only BioShock 2 & Dishonored. Not big enough discounts on other games I was looking for.

Tried to buy 7 days to die, but steam kept saying there was a problem with my card.

Contacted steam support, they were no help.

Tried to buy a steam wallet code online, delivery took too long, ended up missing the sale.

7 days to die was the only game I wanted to buy. Stupid steam has been taking my card information for over 10 years. Then all of a sudden there is a problem?

As much as I'd got, I got some last minute more games - hexcell collection (after seeing it ranked #2 best puzzle game), Westerado, Enemy Within pack for X-com, and re-buying Microsoft Flight Simulator (owned and never played) in order to get the $8 package with two DLC.
