    I think Valve/Steam will refund you the difference if you request it

      Yup, in steam support you can say you have a problem with a game and one of the options is “it is now available for cheaper” and they’ll give you the difference if you bought it just before a sale.

        The time between your purchase and date the game was discounted isn’t listed but most refunds need to be claimed within 2 months of purchase (Valve’s refund policy says within 2 weeks but that they’ll review requests outside that time period). So maybe if you buy a game and next month it’s on sale you could get the sale price?

          The “review outside the 2 week period” is typically for when games are updated to no longer be playable. For example, when Helldivers 2 had the PSN account requirement, players who bought the game more than 2 weeks prior could get refunds.

      Yeah you can even just refund the game and they usually fulfill it in a day or two, usually in time for the sale.
