CynoSideUp 🍳 (@LiquidEffer) reported@L9FRIENDLYSTYLE @Zoroarts @Steam > Two completely unrelated issues
-
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)

Blue 💻 (@BwuUnhinged) reported@jaydon8D @Zoroarts @Steam Thank you for fixing my analogy I guess, the point of my metaphor is that if you go into something you paid for and it happens to be short that’s user error, not the dev’s fault. You should do research before buying anything, not only that but if you buy this thing and you

Thiz (17-3 2x SUPERBOWL CHAMPS) (@Thizlam87) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I think the fix to this is to not make a game that is under 2 hours long. Steam shouldn’t change the 2 hour limit for refunds, I personally think it should be 3 hours.
-
TheSoloWolf (@TheSoloWolf7) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I don’t think they should fix the refund policy I think a way to combat This is make your game longer make your game worth keeping with updates I do agree this is a **** thing to do but steam has a really good refund policy that helps the customer over the company, which is good
-
Xoey (@Xoey80239413) reported@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.

StockStackr (@VeganCatBounce) reported@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!
-
Szdeba (@szdeban) reported@Zoroarts @Steam This is not a Steam issue, but a game issue. It is necessary to better attract players, replay value, difficulties, special achievements, and so on. And 2 hours is the average demo time.
-
Jim Crain (@jcrain1991) reported@Britdissonance @Zoroarts @Steam Thanks for answering that yes you are a simpleton. The average person doesn't beat it in 2 hours. Thats what "average time to beat is 3-4 hours" means. If its a refund for not liking it. Fine. That's perfectly acceptable. Problem is...HE SAID THE GAME WAS GREAT IN THE REVIEW!
-
𝐁𝐒𝐏𝟑 (@RealBSP3) reported@Zoroarts @Steam They might be falling under some play requirement limit. Maybe that limit is two hours. I've returned two games. I played both for half an hour, and realized one was broken, and the other departed too far from a franchise I loved to keep playing.
-
Toe (@xQtiee) reported@Zoroarts @Steam if your game is only worth 1 hour of playtime it deserves to get refunded. Make your game better so people want to invest more time and your problem goes away automatically.
-
Benwick (@_benwick) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Make your game longer or stop complaining when they refund. It's such a non-issue.
-
Mike. No, the other one. (@WeezSays) reportedAbsolute Trash behavior. A Completely unacceptable Gamer trend. Unfortunately, this is never going to stop. It isn't worth it to publish a sub 2 hour game on @Steam until they fix this loophole.
-
Tom (@tommyownzall) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I found the problem. Make your game have some content so people play it for more than 2 hours.
-
Ets (@ets_vn) reported@Steam please how do I get in touch with your support. I cannot login into my account as it has been stolen and I cannot reset my password. I have tried everything on the support websites but no success please help.
