Downloading Microsoft Flight Simulator takes a little patience. Not only the files you have to download are more than 100GB, but also the download process must be done in the game. Even if you buy on Steam, you can only download the 500MB launcher, the rest has to be continued in the game.
A download system like this invites a negative response from players, many of whom are afraid that they can't refund the game because the 2 hour limit determined by Steam is spent by downloading files that are likely to be more than the refund time limit for many people. But Valve seems to have made a special exception to this game from Microsoft.
Reporting from PC Gamers, Doug Lombardi, VP Marketing of Valve, explained that they realized that if Microsoft Flight Simulator uses an in-game data download system, the download time that occurs in the game will not be counted as "playtime". Therefore, for players who wish to request a refund because the game is not suitable or due to technical problems in running the game, their refund may still be accepted as long as their playing duration is indeed under 2 hours.
To avoid unwanted problems, Valve is currently working with Microsoft to improve the download system for this game.
