    @Zoroarts @Steam So many problems on the Steam store could be solved by more human involvement, but this one doesn't even need it: Serial returners (5 a month?) get put on a warning. If they continue the excessive returns, they simply can't anymore.

    Hey @Steam people…I’ve been saying this for weeks, your coordination is broken…

  • 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.

    @Zoroarts @Steam The problem is there are a million reasons to refund plenty of games hours and hours into playing them, and two hours is the lowest they can make it practically. Honestly I think it should be 10-20 hours, and isn't because people could do that with Call of Duty.

  • Gim_John_Un
    steviegnote (@Gim_John_Un) reported

    @Zoroarts @Krazerack @Steam I would brag too if I finished the game in less than 2 hours for free. Maybe that’s a developer and publisher issue, but also why I stay away from steam.

    @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.

    @TheWarTank_YT @Zoroarts @Steam Yeah, if they feel what they paid was too much and they're in time for a refund I'd have 0 problems, since I respect my consumers (I'm a dev btw and 0 problems with this).

  • SeedVEVO

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

    @LiquidEffer @Zoroarts @Steam Do you typically spend your energy on the problems you have the power to solve or do you complain about issues out of your control publicly This guys spam refreshing his sea of thumbs up reviews and he saw a singular red one and posted this while ignoring ones with real issues

    @monteslu @Steam_Support @Steam that error sucks

  • nekkedmolerat
    Nekked Molerat (@nekkedmolerat) reported

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

  • 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

  • flamiexfuta
    Flamiexfuta (@flamiexfuta) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam i mean its like this for a reason, its to protect the consumer from how terrible some devs can be tbh even 2 hours isnt enough for some games not saying ur one, the easiest best way to fix this exact situation is u need to make a longer game. instead of blanket hurt everyone

    @prestonjbyrne my twitter 12 (2014) creating an account at 6 makes me 18? my google account is older I watched a minecraft video and it said "hold up a minute!! were not sure how old you are" like **** you don't know @Google b!tches. 22 years @Steam long service badge and they want my id too

  • kakaria
    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

  • Tiny_Tuna
    Tuna (@Tiny_Tuna) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Doesn't seem like it would be very hard for them to fix. If you get a game completion achievement, then no refund. Ezpz.

  • cytlan
    Cytlan (@cytlan) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Sounds like you need to make longer games my dude. My suggestion, that's appropriate for your level of creativity: Have 4 arbitrary pauses in the game that each requires at least 30 minutes to pass. Problem solved.

  • 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

  • whiteshadow_001
    Whiteshadow (@whiteshadow_001) reported

    @ArtemR @Steam People have stated issues with the overall thermals being very poor

  • Machete_Paul_
    Machete Paul (@Machete_Paul_) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam I've put 5 hours into A Webbing Journey and most of that was before they added real stuff to do. Just ******* with the physics was entertaining enough to earn 3 hours from me. Sounds like a skill issue homie.

  • SlavetotheCaff1
    Slave to the Caffeine (@SlavetotheCaff1) reported

    @Dragovich_u @Zoroarts @Steam just make it longer than two hours, problem solved

  • AureusCrush
    AureusCrush (@AureusCrush) reported

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

  • 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.

  • bestabyssdad
    Jarad The Sovereign (@bestabyssdad) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam cry about it honestly, your niche issue is not going to get in the way of a very good refund policy. make a better game.

  • AriaALake
    Aria Amaryllis (@AriaALake) reported

    @PlayerKirbo @Zoroarts @Steam If they're allowed to do it, then it is a problem with the refund policy. ***** sake y'all are dumb.

  • priyasharmiyi

    @monteslu @Steam_Support @Steam controller issues are rough

  • MuffTuglick
    **** Tuglick⛧ (@MuffTuglick) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Easy fix, Make a game with at minimum 5+ hours of gameplay. Make the game have replay value.

  • 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.

  • NTsuki_Tia
    N'Tsuki Tia (@NTsuki_Tia) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Look, I undertand how it's a problem for you, and a seriously one, but, don't be that person, is not a nice posture to take. Steam refunds used to allow a longer time, them were reduced to 4 hours, and now 2, it sucks people still being able to abuse that, but many games (1/2)

  • 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.
