They stopped doing flash sales when refunds were a thing. People could buy a game, see it was 90% later, refund and buy it when it was much cheaper. Or if you a week or two before the sale you could do the same thing, but the lightning deals has the biggest impact for refunds. Steam didn’t stop them, but the game devs just stopped in light of that.
I know people really like refunds but I miss absolutely ridiculously low priced games. The games used to be so cheap, I couldn’t even care if a game was actually trash. Got it for a dollar who cares.
Honestly they should just stop refunds on flash sale items unless in extenuating circumstances like “This game literally doesn’t work for anybody” or “The price literally went back up as I was purchasing it so I paid the higher price”
It’s not an automobile or a physical item, why can’t they just package it differently for each market? Places with ugly capitalism get lightning deals, places with affordable Healthcare don’t… lol

They legally can’t. If they tried to disable refunds, the EU would fine them into the ground.

Now the lower deals are on the key reseller sites, because…no refunds.
Apparently they just sell you an account with the game or some family sharing shenanigans, best just to avoid these sites.
