In my earlier post, I spoke about my woes trying to buy Atari: 80 Classics In One from Steam.  I bemoaned the apparent lack of response from the steam meisters.
 
I must now retract that criticism.
 
I was contacted by Steam support and told to purchase something else of equal or greater value, and that I would be refunded.  I followed their orders and will likely be refunded tomorrow. 
 
All is forgiven, Valve.  And to everyone reading this, don't ever hesitate to throw a line to their support department.  It may take a few messages and clarifications, but you'll get served eventually.
