  One important thing to add is that the refund is offered by Valve, not by Rockstar.

    I guess Valve being the escrow, they may hold future revenue payout from sale of other R* games

      But I don’t believe at the scale of thousands of players for >1 year.
      Remember, they are (supposedly) offering it even if you played a 100 hundred hours. I don’t think that comes only from Valve. They’d burn bridges with publishers should they deduct it from their pay as a “You rugpulled our user base. We are now offering refunds if requested and will take it from your cut as compensation”.

  I was thinking this, because that’s what Facepunch did when they stopped Linux support. If you had played Rust at all on Linux, regardless of hours, you were eligible for a refund.
