Today I tried a few of my games for the first time with various issues that make the games unplayable.

Anna (For Mac) - Game doesn't display in the center of the screen, and mouse sensitivity is so high that it's impossible to move. Because the game doesn't display in the center I can't see the options screen to change resolution or mouse sensitivity.

NyxQuest (For Mac) - Crashes on startup, no visuals or audio displayed.

Plants VS Zombies: Game of the Year (For Mac) - Game loads a blank window on startup and sound can be heard but doesn't display any visuals.

According to the system requirements for these games, they should work.

I'd like refunds for all 3 games since I haven't been able to play any of them. I was just reading through some forums regarding refunds and read that steam doesn't offer refunds? Can you please make an exception? I own the majority of mac games on steam, and don't want to waste my time jumping through 3rd party game support forums for 3 different games. Since the games aren't playable they should qualify for a refund regardless of Steams regular terms and conditions.

Hello

I'm not interested in looking for possible solutions for why the games don't work, which would likely take hours of my time and possibly not help anything. I'd simply like a refund for these games since I haven't been able to use them.
