  @Zoroarts @Steam Skill issue. Your game is the equivalent of a fat chick that puts out on the first date and is a lousy lay on top of that. If people aren't coming back for seconds, that's on you.

  MultiEnding Heroes OUT NOW! 🇦🇷 (@NicoDiti) reported 8 minutes ago

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

  @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).

  @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.

  @flatspritehits @QNDZYcom @Steam Thats because steam doesnt own the game either, once a game is unavailable or shut down steam can only issue you a refund out of their pocket, they cant charge the developer. The main reason is not because they want to keep you money, but because bots buy shut down games to scam

  @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.

  Is anyone having issues loading into Apex on Steam? I can't get passed the initializing stage. @PlayApex @Steam

  @nogal909 @Zoroarts @Steam I don't have problems with refunds, either. I'm against abusing the refund system, however. But genuinely enjoying the game and refunding is immoral. You are screwing someone else's time and effort, which I find to be an awful attitude and a bad use of the refund system.

  Fix your game please add elo rollback for cheater games. The amount of cheaters is disgusting and your killing your game by allowing this to happen. Just played against two blatant hackers and lost -450 cause of it. @valvesoftware @Steam @CounterStrike

  He is the most evil of evil and the most overpowered annoying dumb and stank character ever. #victorisoverparty because there’s no reason for him to exsist the way he does in this damn game. Because WHY does he have stank aura!! @valvesoftware @Steam @IntelDeadlock FIX THIS

  @allefornication @Zoroarts @Steam Well that's the thing, replayability does include wasting the players time, but the player doesn't mind because usually they unlock new things (skills, characters, cards, paths, etc). Blue Prince is a good example- 1 going through of the game is fairly short, however through subsequent playthroughs you unlock new cards/rooms and this opens up new paths of progression. Now in a slop game, which are highly focused on online/co-op experiences, they are generally short, a round of Meccha Chameleon lasts like 10 minutes all together, and that's it, games done. However the reason players keep going back is because of that online experience, which in itself creates new adventures and paths and opportunities. Now you've gone from 10 minutes, to 2, 5, 10+ hours of gameplay all on the same short loop and a handful of maps. And this game apparently does not have that replayability factor, if I were the dev, even though I've had a highly successful launch (most indies sell about 2000 copies on average I think) selling many hundreds of thousands of copies, even with that high refund rate, I would sit there and try and figure out why people are refunding firstly, and secondly why is my player count low. Are those things I can fix or are they things for me to learn going into my next game. And its ok btw, I had to make dozens of demos, and game jam games before I had an idea that was solid enough for people to play. So on that one fair do's to him, however you don't ask for a system to be upended on the basis of a handful of reviews that took the piss against potentially many others that refunded because they thought your game sucked. So when I say pad it out that does not just mean add **** for shits sake, which is what people think because they aren't developers, but it also means how can I create a more engaging gameplay loop, how do I attract my target audience, how do I keep them having fun. And if you haven't answered these questions, what are you doing. And gameplay loops btw aren't long, they are often anywhere from a minute to 10-20 minutes. Break down any game that you've played and you realise this is the case, even open world games when you might get dozens to hundreds of hours of game time.

  @PotatoCrispDip @Steam I agree that's on them for submitting a short game and acting surprised when they happened, you really just shouldn't submit a short game to Steam in it's current state if you don't want returns, but that doesn't mean it's still a problem that Steam should (and can) fix.

  @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

  @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.
