It's on gamepass. I installed it played for an hour or two, and un-installed. If I'd paid for it on steam I might have felt obligated to keep playing regardless of how much I was enjoying it. Not so much with gamepass.

Why? You can refund within 2 hours on Steam.

You only get steam credit back though. Who knows when I'll use that?

In any case, the game is on gamepass so it's a moot point.

? You can refund it to your original payment method

That must be new. Last time I refunded was for street fighter 5 so that would've been several years ago.

Again though, this is a moot point. The game is on gamepass so of course the Steam numbers will be somewhat lower. No one is going to buy the steam version if they have a gamepass sub.
