@ 2015/11/04Steam announced that it's offering refunds for Batman: Arkham Knight after a second spectacular failure with its PC release. Arkham Knight was pulled from Steam shortly following its late-June launch over the PC version being plagued by crippling and often unplayable bugs. The game was re-launched in October promising improvements to stability.
The October re-launch of Batman Arkham Knight at a reduced $49 price-tag (over the $59 original) met with even stiffer criticism over little or no effort being put into patching its most glaring bugs and performance issues. Steam is now entertaining refund claims for the game up to December 2015. This only cover people who bought the game and 'paid for it' with Steam, and not those who got it as freebies in promotions such as NVIDIA's Arkham Knight key giveaway. Those who bought the game in its PC-DVD (physical media) format are likely also not covered, since the game was sold directly by the publisher, and not Steam, which only serves as a DRM platform.
