    Ian Fisch - Lead Coder on Kingmakers (wishlist!) (@Ian_Fisch) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam I think they should have an option to publish a “short” game with a shorter refund window. The problem is that you’d have to make the player aware of this when he buys, and I don’t think they want to be drawing more attention to the refund policy. That could easily backfire and lead to a higher rate of refund. I don’t have a good solution here.

  • Erza_Oficial

    @Zoroarts @Steam Nothing against you or your game, but if your game only offers less than 2h of content then that's more a you problem rather than the person playing

  • SlavetotheCaff1

    @SmashUltimateB1 @Zoroarts @Steam It's the easiest way to address the problem. I didn't and wouldn't do it but steam isn't going to budge

    @eramaster12 @Steam @PlayStation Playstation says they want to double down on live service games even after the failures of Concord and Marathon

    @Steam your support sucks. You won’t refund a game that has under 4 hours of play time. You see all the reviews. It’s broken.

  • HowlingFord

    @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

  • IsaacClarkeFNaF
    Isaac Clarke (@IsaacClarkeFNaF) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam For short games, it should me made that the 70 or 80 or 90% "achievement" milestone makes the game unrefundable "because of the 2 hours limit". It should be refundable only if broken or if it's a scam.

    @Steam put a disc drive in the next steam machine??? I guarantee the games that make the money would have no issues releasing physical.

  • GooberTheGreat8
    MarquessOfGoyim (@GooberTheGreat8) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam If you’re crying about a refund policy then you are the issue.

  • Selatiorine
    ✧.*Selene.*✧ Genshin HSR WuWa Pilot (@Selatiorine) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Sounds like a you problem. If someone can finish the game within an hour. That is not a game and certainly not one worth paying for. That refund policy has been extremely helpful for times that games ended up being terrible or completely not worth the money.

  • Angel4466889
    Somni (@Angel4466889) reported

    @Zoroarts @Krazerack @Steam Steam doesn’t have devs it loves its consumer base genuinely just make a longer game and its not a problem

  • Kremmen101
    Kremmen (@Kremmen101) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Clearly this is a pricing issue. If your game is beatable in under two hours you need to charge less so it's not worth refunding.

  • Josephshandle

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

  • nekkedmolerat
    Nekked Molerat (@nekkedmolerat) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam The problem isn't Steams refund policy.

  • oopsallsolace
    MR.SOLACE (@oopsallsolace) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam There's a community behind this, where people challenge themselves to beat a game under the refund time. Make your game longer and this will not be an issue.

  • DamJPaco
    Paco Ace (@DamJPaco) reported

    @Steam Hi, I need help to modify my email address. Former email address is unavailable but I get a "error 2" everytime I put the code I received to change my email... Please help !

  • ShadowC5
    Shadow C | 🍔Arbiter🍕 🌭of🥪 🌮Sandwiches🌯 (@ShadowC5) reported

    @WastingSanity @Zoroarts @Steam But that would be a problem for certain genre of games, no? For example, certain puzzle genres are fundamentally not replayable, especially if the idea/solution to the puzzle requires planning and thought - and not merely some random generation.

  • NicoDiti
    MultiEnding Heroes OUT NOW! 🇦🇷 (@NicoDiti) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Add a 3 hours ending cutscene like Kojima and no more problems.

  • Azrhenia

    Hey @Steam Will you delete my account if I'm not login for 10 years?

  • isawarenshi
    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.

  • shadesofsilver
    Danny Silvers (@shadesofsilver) reported

    @SandorHQ @Zoroarts @Steam Not to say that the price isn't right here. It absolutely is. What we really have is a cultural problem, and that's not something Steam can fix. Steam can't force its audience to grow up.

  • burnme121107
    cracinlac (@burnme121107) reported

    @Chriss_m @Zoroarts @Steam do you watch a movie and then demand your money back because it was only an hour and a half long? and clearly the quality of the game isnt a problem because people are literally saying they enjoyed it but still refunding it. its bad for the developer who is a person with needs

  • EveilCharm
    EVEILCHARM (@EveilCharm) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam I agree it sucks but it's consumer protection against scam games and even one of them hit the news about a month or two ago so it's still a problem even now with the refund.

  • watamelon23
    わためろん (@watamelon23) reported

    @Maxim_Drw @Zoroarts @Steam The problem is that a lot of the time the ways devs add extra playtime to get over 2 hours is just by adding pointless padding. I'd rather just have the great 60 or 90 minute game instead of one that is made worse by padding. Thank you friend.

  • ArttomusicYay
    Artofmusic (@ArttomusicYay) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam You have 1 level what do you expect.... make a longer game can't expect everyone to play for an hour and keep it. Come on its not steams issue.. I have been making games for over 26 years alone. Can't complain if someone beats it in the 2 hours. Thats on you not @Steam

  • Namelesschicke2
    Nameless chicken (@Namelesschicke2) reported

    @MythThrazz @Zoroarts @Steam The problem is what if I spend say 40-1 hour trying to get a game to work and fail? Why would I not get my money back for that?

    @Steam you want to spam in the background, but when I go to log in to my account you have been spoofin, now we have a password issues? you pukes!

  • Fox_Todd0370
    Todd (Fox) (@Fox_Todd0370) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam And with games like peak, how would that play with your soultion? Replay-ability seems to be the problem here, but go ahead and continue your cope.

  • 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.
