Basically, I was inquired if you had a lack of a short term memory because you seemed to have forgotten what we were talking about and responded as if I had just made the comment out of the blue.I commented that since the game was paid for and since Valve does not give refunds, my avoiding playing it would do nothing to Valve and would simply deny me the opportunity to play the game. You replied that Valve would release more content which seems like an irrelevant response to my comment, but I noted that providing more games on Steam would simply be more of the same and not in any way a refund or an impetus for me to give Valve my money.
