    @Mikeparkerz @Zoroarts @Steam The issue is thought if you drag it out for too long and people notice no thought into it or its the same as before people go im done anyways you didnt add anything of Value to it too extend it so we should have a Smallish game Refund system and the 2 hour limit one

    @OlexGameDev @Zoroarts @Steam It’s a problem that people can use their system to play paid games to the end for free. It’s almost certainly a solvable problem, you’re just concluding that because you can’t think of a way to solve it without damaging the current environment that no solution is possible.

    @monteslu @Steam_Support @Steam that error sucks

  • Zoroarts
    Zoroarts 🦈 Paddle Paddle Paddle OUT NOW (@Zoroarts) reported

    @Steam I may have found the solution: Showing the expected playtime on the Steampage. That way no one should have a problem. You see Price + Expected Playtime and can decide if its a pass or not. That way at least "Too short" can NOT be a refund reason anymore

  • ricanteja
    Ricky (@ricanteja) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Easy fix for this is to add trophies to track progression. If a user has unlocked almost all achievements in almost two hours, you can’t get a refund. Of course trophies placement in game has to be balanced, maybe some should be a little out of the way to get.

    @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'

    @Zoroarts @Steam make a game worth keeping after people finish it idk this is NOT a common problem

    @Zoroarts @Steam Sounds like a you problem

    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.

  • sqronce
    Dani (@sqronce) reported

    @Zoroarts @nieyter19 @Steam Some would believe evidence, and some wouldn’t. Receipts help with claims. While you’re trying to prove claims, I’m still waiting on evidence of all the reviews boasting of refunding after completing in under 2 hours, showing that this form of refund was a wide spread issue.

  • gaersstapa
    Gærsstapa (@gaersstapa) reported

    @Jeffrey28627067 @Zoroarts @Steam I don't hate them, at no point have I expressed that view. My view is very simple- if you are a dev, and you use steam KNOWING it has a 2 hour refund window, and you make a game less than 2 hours, and you get refunds; THATS YOUR FAULT. You designed it that way and now you have fallen foul of the systems at play. To then request the entire system, that has until this point worked quite well for everybody, be overhauled- is wild. I think the 2 hour window for refunds is good, it allows you breathing space if there are any technical issues with the game, it allows you to do some troubleshooting before refunding, it allows you to do a tutorial and get out into the main game usually, and figure out if its something you want to do.

  • 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.

  • GooberTheGreat8

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

  • nekkedmolerat
    Nekked Molerat (@nekkedmolerat) reported

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

  • Pyr0Mander
    Pyr0mander (@Pyr0Mander) reported

    @BenderFondue @Zoroarts @Steam Also you can't even try to refund a game if you played over 2 hours, so just make the game longer. Also from what he said in the thread its only speedrunners that can play it under 2 hours, so a minority of gamers. Seems like a non issue to me

  • karibuwu
    Caribouwu (@karibuwu) reported

    @Kijara42 @Zoroarts @Steam We aren't talking about valid returns here though. We're talking about people abusing the return system to get the game for free like the case in the screenshot. If this were a legitimate pricing problem, then reviews would reflect that and call it out as a bad value. (1/2)

    @MattyDanner @Steam Hello @MattyDanner, I have a question, if Jose and Panchito have a angry issue and sent there near the water. Will there be 2 Big Reflections of Jose and Panchito's counterparts or just the same reflection as the same order to Devil Donald as he splits himself into a few devils.

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

    @Steam on browser its work fine problem in client

  • RickTrajan
    RickTrajan (@RickTrajan) reported

    @gaersstapa @Zoroarts @Steam The problem with this mindset is it encourages prolonging a game rather than doing what it's meant to do (telling a story, good multiplayer setup, or whatever a game you want it to be). It's like word count on essays, vehicles being predominantly suvs and trucks in US, etc.

  • PAVRGAME

    @Steam @MetaQuestVR Our error, the game sales ends July 9th, not the 5th. there are a few more days for the official Steam sale. Thank you!

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

  • SmitheeAll88909
    Allan Smithee (@SmitheeAll88909) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Honestly such an edge case Steam has no incentive to do anything about it. I agree those who do this are scummy, but the only realistic fix is making your game longer.

  • SE_Apocalypse
    Apocalypse (@SE_Apocalypse) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Have you ever thought to find other devs with similar nice and short games and release them as compilation instead? You avoid that 2 hours issue that way. 21% refund rate ... still sounds like most people who enjoy the game do want to give you money for it. 11% goes to charity.

    @KagutsuchiHeika @Pirat_Nation Actually issue is with @Steam as it was clearly stated by them that accounts cannot be passed on.

    @Ian_Fisch @Zoroarts @Steam The issue is define short in both cases and don't make the policy too unwieldly for actual use.
