If you live in an EU country you can now get refunds on App Store games
For up to two weeks
Owing to the EU's Consumer Rights Directive, Apple has changed its terms and conditions to state that customers who download content from iTunes, iBooks, and the App Store can request a refund up to a fortnight after making the order.
“If you choose to cancel your order, you may do so within 14 days from when you received your receipt without giving any reason, except iTunes Gifts which cannot be refunded once you have redeemed the code.”
Unsurprisingly, Apple didn't issue a press release to herald this change, but the eagle-eyed T&C fans at iFun.de spotted the new wording and raised the alarm.
It's difficult to know exactly what this new state of affairs will mean in practice, but in principle you can, at the very least, buy a game to see what it's like before requesting a refund if it's not your cup of tea.
How far you can take this is unclear, but I imagine if you wait two weeks to claim your refund and in the meantime nab all the achievements and crush the highscore table on Game Center Apple will have very reasonable grounds to refuse your refund.
And you will go to hell.
This is the second time in recent months that Apple has been forced to make changes to the way it does business because of an EU diktat - in November it altered the wording for the download button on all free games containing IAPs from 'Free' to 'Get'.
