Looks like CreamAPI is not affected. Looks like a Paradox games fan’s worst nightmare.

Link to change in latest Steam client update.

Agreed. The only time I was suspended was because I filed a charge back for an incomplete, buggy game that was sold as finished. It took so long to even get running that I was just over the refund time limit and they refused to make an exception. There was some verbiage about being banned if I continued to do charge backs. I just stopped using Steam.

Well if you’re talking about a charge back on a cc they might get mad but I’ve refunded 10’s of games through steams refund page with no problems over the years. Some people even treat the 2 hrs within 2 weeks as a trial period for games to test them out.

Same. I had PayPal do an automated charge back because their system thought I was doing something fraudulent when I wasn’t. Steam blocked my account.

Talking to support and re-buying said game did fix the issue for me.
