When Steam opens up refunds BEYOND their usual terms it is because they have looked at the complaints and seen two things: One: there is a lot of them and two: they have merit.

In this case the game promised in interviews and trailers (that are still up on steam, funnily enough) is not what was produced. And this isn't an issue of features being developed and then removed late for reason X, but because they were never part of the game to begin with.

Usually when a game cuts features, there are still signs of them in the code of the final copy. In NMS' case there is not for things they promised, such as p2p interactions. It's heinous and, like Colonial Marines before it, should see a law suit. Hopefully for more than a slap on the wrist like Sony got.

It will be interesting to see if Steam does what they have done with other games that have had similar issues and pulls the game from the market.
