I'll admit I don't bike when there's an inch or more snow on the ground or it's raining harder than a light drizzle, though.
why not just have an 7-14 day price guarantee with an auto refund?
Because not everyone will return a game that just dropped in price (or even be aware of the price drop), and Steam gets to keep the difference for the people who don't.
Remember, cynicism and wisdom lead to the same result most of the time, only wisdom is so much harder to learn.
I doubt that.
But let's do the math: even if these particles are moving at almost the speed of light--300,000 km/s--and they live for 2.2 microseconds, they should only be able to travel about 660 meters before decaying away.
Yet I told you these particles are created at the top of the atmosphere, which is some 100 kilometers, or 100,000 meters up! From our perspective, that muon should never make it to the ground. And yet, it's Einstein to the rescue, thank to the fact that when objects move close to the speed of light, their clocks run slow.
Either way, you end up dead - but for a lot of people, option two looks more appealing.
Until they try it. (Though a small number will actually take to it.)
