    @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

    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.

    @Zoroarts @Steam maybe the problem isnt STEAM MAYBE the problem is the amount of content in your game.... MAYBE if it had more gameplay people wouldnt be able to FINISH IT under refund time.... did you think about THAT

  • 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.

    @monteslu @Steam_Support @Steam controller issues are rough

    @PlayApex I can’t buy apex coins for some reason. Steam won’t authorize. You might see if there’s a fix you guys could make with @Steam @Steam_Support I just want to support a game and a couple of companies I love 🫶🏻💙

  • 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.

  • BOOTZ999
    BOOTZ999 (@BOOTZ999) reported

    @Lenovo if you don't hurry on the patch for your bios update, 100% of @Steam user can take you to small claims court if they allow data tracking for their Lenovo legion go's. And I never agreed to your terms of service on steam OS 3.8(non existent) That's $2230CAD MSRP... Idiots

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • PankajIndoria1

    @SteamSupport I'm unable to sign in to my Steam acc. After trying several times, I now receive an "Exceeded" error and can't access my account in the Steam client or browser.This issue is affecting my work. Please look into this as soon as possible. #Steam #SteamSupport @Steam

  • TimmyTooStronk
    Alex J Rage-Bait (@TimmyTooStronk) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam It's a ****** thing for people to do and it's not really a good feeling to suggest you should pad the game, but you had to kind of see this coming just based on a Pareto distribution right? 20% of people are going to be 80% of your problem

  • 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

  • Foresight20_20
    Foresight20/20 (@Foresight20_20) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Lack of replay ability is the problem here, if your game is good people will keep it to replay it. Or make it longer, you will always find people that abuse the system but doesn't mean we should ruin it for everyone else.

  • Britdissonance
    BritishDissonance (@Britdissonance) reported

    @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.

    @L9FRIENDLYSTYLE @Zoroarts @Steam > Two completely unrelated issues

  • L9FRIENDLYSTYLE
    L9FRIENDLYSTYLE (@L9FRIENDLYSTYLE) reported

    @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

  • CezaryKruszews1

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

  • 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

    @Zoroarts @Steam This seems like a you problem

    @Steam any idea when going to address 🤔 this outage you have with customers

    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)

  • shenkay

    @Zoroarts @Steam Introduce more content extend the gameplay time, problem solved.

    @Zoroarts @Steam Sounds like a you problem

  • tommyownzall
    Tom (@tommyownzall) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam I found the problem. Make your game have some content so people play it for more than 2 hours.

  • 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.

  • 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

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

  • L9FRIENDLYSTYLE
    L9FRIENDLYSTYLE (@L9FRIENDLYSTYLE) reported

    @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
