    A serious issue especially for indie developers that @Steam needs to take seriously into consideration. If the player finishes the game, should he have the right to refund it? On the other hand, if this change is made and the game is short on purpose, the player is not protected.

    @Zoroarts @Steam Idk man feels like you could just idk, make a slightly longer/more challenging game and your issue would be resolved.

  • JustAGamer929
    JustAGamer (@JustAGamer929) reported

    @Steam you need to figure out your download speed throttling. I have fiber and just cannot use it for your games. Battlenet doesn’t have this issue. The same 38 gig update there finished in 12 minutes. Yours took an hour. Unacceptable

  • PoshIndie
    Posh Indie (@PoshIndie) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam The problem here is "Your expected playtime" is not "Their expected playtime", and dishonest developers will pad those numbers just to erase the possibility of refunds on short games. The best solution is to just make the game longer, unfortunately. Everything else is abusable.

  • Psykatomique
    Psykatomique productions (@Psykatomique) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam At this point, if you sell a game that is less than 2 hour... the gamer is not the problem here... We have more and more games on steam, i would rather have half and more consistent.

  • AllahingMutant
    AllahingMutant (@AllahingMutant) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Skill issue. Your game is the equivalent of a fat chick that puts out on the first date and is a lousy lay on top of that. If people aren't coming back for seconds, that's on you.

  • MrWho26
    Samson (@MrWho26) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Can't say I agree with you there...dispite the guy being able to complete your game in under 2h it should b absolutely possible for him to refund at that time. The amount of trash/meme games on steam is a big issue still and your simple solution won't work in such complex case

    Maxie 🎮 Bloodstained | Visions of Mana | ONINAKI (@maxieaftermdnyt) reported

    @ZirraTGK That’s me in a nutshell. If not physically, I’ll be getting those games on @Steam. At least Steam has good customer service even though they also sell digital licenses (@GOGcom doesn’t really sell their games in my country sadly)

  • Josephshandle
    Joseph (@Josephshandle) reported

    @Steam I was needing assistance with my steam deck, unsure how to fix an issue I am having with it.

  • JuiceHaunter
    JuiceHaunter (@JuiceHaunter) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam This is a dev problem. Not a steam problem. You could argue maybe $1 - $2 games can't be refunded... But if you actually developed a game that can be fully completed on 2hrs or less than what you have is a demo and you forgot the develop the full game.

    @monteslu @Steam_Support @Steam that error sucks

  • VeganCatBounce
    StockStackr (@VeganCatBounce) reported

    The actual problem is I got a new phone # and steam will not let me log in with a password, an email, they are forcing me to give that phone # I can not play war of rights because I refuse to let steam farm me. **** off @Steam

  • gozfrt
    goz (@gozfrt) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Anticonsumer ****** *** dev who lies about the numbers. Steams refund policy is the best and your slop of a game wont "fix" something that isnt broken. Next time make a effort to make the game longer than 1h 30mins

  • dingoman5001
    Dingo Love Simulator (@dingoman5001) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam I'm sorry but that is your problem for making a game with barely a triple-digit minute runtime

  • mustafa27007713
    Useless (@mustafa27007713) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam i dont see this as steam fault,2 hours is such a good time window to experience a game especially if its a big pvp paid game (see marathon). now its for sure annoying for people to refund you even tho they loved your game but thats more of people issue then steam issue.

  • mts_22natoo

    @TheDailyGamer86 @PlayStation @Steam Hi there 👋🏾 What's seems to be the problem with your PlayStation account?

  • GKTABM
    General K (@GKTABM) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Make your game longer than 2 hours worth of content, that is the industry standard. Add more levels. Add more modes. Add more replay-ability. Add more fun modifiers. This is literally a your game is lacking problem.

  • john_baker7
    Sammy Snivels (@john_baker7) reported

    @flatspritehits @QNDZYcom @Steam Thats because steam doesnt own the game either, once a game is unavailable or shut down steam can only issue you a refund out of their pocket, they cant charge the developer. The main reason is not because they want to keep you money, but because bots buy shut down games to scam

  • YawenCh69
    Yawen (@YawenCh69) reported

    @Vetrix22 @Zoroarts @Steam $1 for an hour of fun? Yeah- that’s a good deal. No one said games like that are at risk here. I haven’t done that to an indie developer- that’s cruel. Games like MiSide are fun. Worth the money. Not gonna refund. (Although it was beaten in like an hour) Games that charge AAA title prices that end in under an hour or two is unacceptable- I will refund. I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again with a cute smile. Money isn’t the problem- the principal of the situation is.

    @Steam I sold my ps5 pro, bye gta 2 years... I have a pc with rtx 4070 and steam, problem solved!

    I think with all this bad @PlayStation news I'll keep adding games to my @steam account just in case they really don't fix any of this. Lol but I'ma still play & get games on both. & See what happens when next gen consoles comes out & see if they really will be a ghost town

  • ShrimpInd
    Shrimp (@ShrimpInd) reported

    Roll The Bones launch update: we have to delay the launch due to an unresolved issue on @Steam and the fact that @Steam_Support hasn't responded to us for 10 days. Not sure about the delay, I hope it's just an hour or two, but unfortunately @valvesoftware is unresponsive.

  • LiquidEffer

    @L9FRIENDLYSTYLE @Zoroarts @Steam > Two completely unrelated issues

    @Steam Minor issue: audio is choppy with Studio Display via HDMI - USB-C cable, hopefully it will be fixed with software updates / DP cable

    Gaurav Kakaria (@kakaria) reported

    I am not able to sign in to my steam account even after changing my password 3 times successfully. And there is no option to reach out to steam for issue on the website. It only leads to same landing page for changing the password. @Steam @Steam_Support

  • L9FRIENDLYSTYLE

    @LiquidEffer @Zoroarts @Steam He has the solution at his fingertips yet you and others are here encouraging him to sit on his *** and do nothing about it and wait for the force he has no control over to fix his problem

  • ItsRizzleFizzle
    ItsRizzleFizzle (@ItsRizzleFizzle) reported

    See the problem with posts like these it’s that they are disingenuous really. The ONLY reason these numbers are like this is because @Steam and @valvesoftware haven’t made the game verified for steam players. That’s the reason here.

    Gingersnaps (@GingersnapsTM) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam If you put that DLC you're peddling in the base game instead it would be long enough that nullify this issue.
