    @Zoroarts @Steam That’s such a trashy move, why is 2 hours the standard still? There needs to be better ways to issue refunds rather than just a standard 2 hours.

  • Terkelfisk
    Carrot King 👑 (@Terkelfisk) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam It is weird to refund a game that they liked. But if they didn't like it, then I don't see a problem with them refunding it, even if they completed it. A short game shouldn't be a work around the two hour refund mark that is Steam's policy.

  • Marokano8888

    @Zoroarts @Steam That's not a Steam issue, people are just pieces of ****, also you could make game a little longer.

    @jcrain1991 @Zoroarts @Steam The irony in calling me a simpleton when you're clearly a complete retard, good lord. Now you're making the argument that steam policy should change on one review? My whole point is either most people are refunding after beating it in under 2 hours, in which case its not worth the money, or they are refunding it for other reasons which is a non issue. Either way this dev is complaining about nothing.

    isawarenshi (@isawarenshi) reported

    @MeringueRouge @Zoroarts @Steam The issue is proving it. They could beat it say I did not enjoy the time I spent playing it and the window was still open so the refund is not abuse. Hell even in this case they gave a 👍 but if they did not like it was short the refund is still not abuse. Do better work.

  • galaxygash
    Apex Autist (@galaxygash) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam absolutely no problem. I'm sorry if that caused/causes you any issues, if anyone cites it or makes the claim, tag me and ill clarify I was mistaken and why.

  • SpaceGirlYeeHaw
    SpaceYeeHaw (@SpaceGirlYeeHaw) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam I hope steam does nothing, you should have made a game that takes longer then the refund time and provide enough content to go past the refund time, if you can't do that then thats your problem.

  • SeedVEVO

    this is still broken, @valvesoftware @steam please fix <3

  • En_Senada69
    Drew Peacock (@En_Senada69) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Add 20 more minutes of content. Problem solved.

  • marcs125
    Marc (@marcs125) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Sorry, but respectfully you are the problem. You knew the policy Steam had and released a low value product (low playtime/cost) so you should have expected this. The platform shouldn't cater to you when you create the situation. Make a better product or just accept it.

  • Kenzaro_
    Matt☆Kenzaro (@Kenzaro_) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam If your game can be finished in less than 2 hours for someone that never played it previously, that's on you. Refunds are made to be able to return the product if there's an issue or if not following expectation. 2 hours of gameplay is too short for some people

  • 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

  • prynneahroth
    Pryn Nea (@prynneahroth) reported

    @KazuoSergal @Zoroarts @Steam retard. this isnt a fix. imagine a cashier hands you a cookie and its delicious and you go "im not paying because it was too small'

  • Raimyah
    Raimyah (@Raimyah) reported

    Hey @Steam, I'm having trouble reporting a developer who slipped DLC for their pixelated game behind a $31/month pay wall on Patreon behind your back. Your help site is a little outdated and I've wanted a ticket on this topic for months.

  • ProgramRodead
    Rodead (@ProgramRodead) reported

    @Pirat_Nation good for them, still not removing it from my ignore list. which admittedly still doesn't mean much as @Steam's store page is still broken. fix your store damn it! @Steam_Support

  • 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.

  • 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.

    @Zoroarts @Krazerack @Steam I hate people do that.. unless got issues game really bad i understand....or unplayable.. well some people abuse it ... this gonna be problem later

    @Steam FIX YOUR SERVERS PLEASE I CANT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING. CANT PLAY ANYTHING ONLINE. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO OR FIX THE SERVERS

  • TrveMetal1993
    Trve Metal (@TrveMetal1993) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam If the dev makes a game you can finish under 2 hours it's their problem, either add more content, remove the game from steam or live with it.

  • WrenchOfChaos
    Xenos (Ambassador Of Indie Games) (@WrenchOfChaos) reported

    @PotatoCrispDip @Steam But Steam is the biggest by far so you're losing an insane amount of money & exposure by not having your game on Steam, and there's no reason to keep the store hostile to short games when there's a simple fix. I don't understand defending keeping it that way.

  • Reiiz6
    okay (@Reiiz6) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Idk what game you do but adding new game+ with new ending or bad ending or different ending, unlockable skin/item/achievement through multiple run can fix this problem to certain extend

  • Daniboy07dani
    Dani boy (@Daniboy07dani) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Who gives a ****? Take your bullshit and get out of here steam has the best refund policy and the best customer service of all gaming and you want to ruin it because people do a any% speed run of a indie game? Get tf out of here with that

    @Steam @Steamworks @STRATO_hilft please unblock our game's server we have this outage cause you guys failed to check reported content I will send a link to the entire site part of the hosting for the rest it was nothing but a game server and a steam game server of a MMORPG

  • urf10
    TradeMate (@urf10) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam if your game can be finished in 2h its not a game you should add more content then you dont have this problem

  • RyanPHPDev
    Ryan Watson (@RyanPHPDev) reported

    @Randomuser22147 @Zoroarts @Steam Agreed. If we have to choose between a 2 hours no question money back on games vs you making a more comprehensive game that people are willing to want keep or play for more than 2 hours, I would say that you are the problem.

  • HowlingFord
    HowlingHenry (@HowlingFord) reported

    @gaersstapa @Zoroarts @Steam He can complain about the system being unfair for short games (it is) but the system is inherently better regardless due to the fact that anyone with tech problems or other limitations can always get their money back after buying a game on steam

  • karibuwu
    Caribouwu (@karibuwu) reported

    @BryceGuilbert @Zoroarts @Steam For me the test is for those who can only think with dichotomies and blame "If we changed things to accommodate you it might get worse in general so you should stop being so selfish. Go suffer in silence." No compromise? This problem isn't unique and complex

  • rickeyp2121
    Rickey Pendarvis (@rickeyp2121) reported

    @EatPantGames It unfortunate that @PlayStation idiocy is causing problems like this for small indie teams and games. Obviously not everyone can do physical release. @Steam has proven they are trustworthy with digital for decades. Hope people support you over there. I will 👍

  • ZehliaGaming

    @Maxim_Drw @Zoroarts @Steam "Its a ****** game, but fun" if you had fun, its not a ****** game. And if the game is ****, you cant have fun By that first sentence alone, you cant be taken serious and are part of the problem
