Yes, I can say that.

Steam enforces fixed timelines for testing games, which can feel unfair since they don’t adjust based on actual download or play times. The system prioritizes consistency but can frustrate users who need more time.
This happens in some games when they're discounted over the weekend.
I totally agree with you, and their customer service is really great.
If you don't like it, it signals a missed opportunity for them. And valves are quite profitable.
It's encouraging to notice most agree Steam could learn from Origin. Of course, the flip side is just as valid!
It's true, my experience with Origin has been quite positive, even if I lean more toward Steam. There are definitely some aspects of Origin that I appreciate.
It's still amusing how people assume Origin should match Steam's capabilities. The gap in features between the two is crucial. Origin has focused on aspects customers value most—like support and refunds. Steam has existed longer and can evolve more freely through changes. To be honest, EA is a publisher, not a developer, while Valve is the one building games. Ultimately, it's up to developers to ensure their titles work across platforms. For most EA releases, other platforms are consoles, but for Valve’s community-driven titles, PC options are more accessible.
Steam definitely wouldn’t provide this option. They simply don’t offer adequate help or returns. I’m not interested in anything else, I believe they’re on the same side. I’m a Linux enthusiast, but I don’t get why Steam’s Linux version is better than Origin. I’d prefer the chance to exchange items or get strong support rather than cross-platform features. If later support comes without solid backing, it loses value entirely.
