Knytt, one of 2006's most charming indie platformers, has a surprise Steam re-release - and it’s still free

In a surprising turn of events, a Battlefield 6 player has received a full $110 refund from Steam after the developers removed key modes from the game's quick-play matchmaking. The player, who has logged over 400 hours into the game, expressed their frustration on Reddit, stating that Battlefield Studios continually pulled modes, starting with Squad Deathmatch and King of the Hill.

Once Rush, a Battlefield staple, was removed, the player requested a refund. Despite Steam's strict refund policy, the player managed to secure the refund by providing a detailed note to a support agent, explaining their dissatisfaction. Battlefield Studios has not yet commented on the refund, but the incident highlights the discontent among some players who feel frustrated with the radical changes to the game throughout its lifecycle.

The affected modes are still accessible through Portal/the server browser, but lobbies are often empty, making it difficult for players to find matches. As Battlefield 6 battles to maintain its player base, the removal of popular modes like Rush seems to be a strategy that may not be successful in retaining fans.
