The Epic Games Store Has Changed Its Refund Policy To Match Steam’s
The Epic Games Store has announced a change in its refund policy. Epic Games director of publishing strategy Sergey Galyonkin revealed the change on Twitter, writing that people will be able to refund a game provided it is “within 14 days of purchase and under 2 hours played.” You will also now have unlimited refunds through Epic, giving the game store the same policy as Steam.
According to Variety, to previously refund a game on Epic, you had to submit a ticket. From there, you’d get a verification request where you’d need to fill out several fields of information, including your public IP address, the date your Epic Games account was created, an invoice ID, your location, your account’s display name, the final four numbers of the debit or credit card connected to your account, and the date of your last login. Only then would your ticket be reviewed.
Now, provided you ask within the 14 days and two hours played guidelines, you only need to submit a ticket through player support to get the refund. “The team is working on the self-service solution, but for now, you’ll have to go through player support,” Galyonkin said.
Over the past few months, Epic has been making moves to undercut its largest PC game store competitor, Steam. When Epic announced its new store, the company offered game developers a better deal than they’d get on Steam by taking less of the profits and promising to aid creators who used Unreal Engine. Epic has also secured several exclusives, such as Hades and the PC version of Journey, and even taken the PC version of games expected to launch on Steam, like the latter half of The Walking Dead: The Final Season and The Division 2.
12 Weirdest TV Episodes Ever, Ranked
While there have been many weird TV shows over the years, the shows that have the strangest episodes are often those that start relatively normal. It’s easy to be weird from the start, but these aren’t always the shows we remember. The weirdest episodes are those that seem at odds with the episodes around them, shows that seem to be regular dramas, comedies, and thrillers that suddenly throw crazy curveballs at their audience.
Weird episodes happen for a number of reasons. Sometimes, a show’s success means that showrunners and writers are granted more leeway to experiment with the format. Other times, the writers are running out of ideas and throw in some strange episodes to keep things interesting. And some episodes are simply weird by accident, often when an attempt to do something interesting goes hilariously wrong.
However, with the rise of streaming services and increased competition for audience attention, showrunners have more freedom than they used to. Many modern shows are ambitious in a way they weren’t two decades ago. A show like the original run of Twin Peaks, which seemed so radical at the time, no longer seems that strange. When something like the recent interactive Black Mirror movie Bandersnatch is seen as mainstream entertainment, it’s clear that the definition of what is considered “weird” has shifted. As the upcoming list shows, it still takes a groundbreaking maverick like David Lynch to truly push the boundaries of modern TV.
So here are 12 of the weirdest TV episodes ever screened. All of these seemed like complete oddities when first broadcast, and in many cases leave us wondering how they ever ended up on TV in the first place. And don’t forget to let us know your favourite weird TV episodes in the comments afterwards!
