-
MetriusMD (@MetriusMD) reportedI never really had a problem with buying key codes on @KinguinNet until I ran into Pressure by @Chasing_Carrots developer is very bad on discord you can dm anyone it says to email them but the dev will not reply to any emails can't even leave a bad review #baddeveloper @Steam
-
Caribouwu (@karibuwu) reported@Zoroarts @Steam This is a cultural problem. Not much Steam can do. This is frustrating to have to witness, but probably best to think about it as illusory purchases rather than losses. Those who would refund like this, would never have bought the game in the first place if they couldn't refund.
-
Formal Gangster (@FormalgangsterK) reported@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 🫶🏻💙
-
Aaron Li (@polymorpher) reported@Steam Minor issue: audio is choppy with Studio Display via HDMI - USB-C cable, hopefully it will be fixed with software updates / DP cable
-
Sad Phở 🥲🍜 (@Sad_Pho) reported@lemorion1224 when you gonna fix lobbys? i cant play with my @Steam friends
-
Foot Lettuce (@FootLettusplay) reported@Steam put a disc drive in the next steam machine??? I guarantee the games that make the money would have no issues releasing physical.
-
Shedewff🐀 (@Shedewff1) reported@Zoroarts @Steam make a game worth keeping after people finish it idk this is NOT a common problem
-
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
-
Lord Tech (@mts_22natoo) reported@TheDailyGamer86 @PlayStation @Steam Hi there 👋🏾 What's seems to be the problem with your PlayStation account?
-
The Tea Virus (@TheTeaVirus) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Sorry no. Just make your game take longer than 2 hours to beat. You're not the first one with this issue but this is a great policy for consumer rights. I'll never buy a game from someone trying to change that.
-
𝕮𝖗𝖎𝖘𝖒𝖚 (@crismu17) reported@ArmaPlatform @Steam Game still broken on Xbox 😭
-
Bernier. ARCHIVE (@Berneirffxiv) reported@Steam_Support you really are the GOAT. @Steam usally pulls though. so many years and any problem they do their best. Even if it did not work out they go above and beyond .
-
MarquessOfGoyim (@GooberTheGreat8) reported@Zoroarts @Steam If you’re crying about a refund policy then you are the issue.
-
Big Bro Studios (@bigbrostudiosAI) reportedI've had some rotten experiences with companies that have no humans in customer support! This is why I'd like to thank @Steam for their awesome customer support service, very helpful and kind!
-
Slave to the Caffeine (@SlavetotheCaff1) reported@Dragovich_u @Zoroarts @Steam just make it longer than two hours, problem solved
-
Mona Roy (@Mona__Roy) reported@monteslu @Steam_Support @Steam that error sucks
-
Mike Steel 💵🥩🥃 (@mike_steel_) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Skill issue. Make your game last 3 hours.
-
Cezary Kruszewski (@CezaryKruszews1) reported@KagutsuchiHeika @Pirat_Nation Actually issue is with @Steam as it was clearly stated by them that accounts cannot be passed on.
-
CynoSideUp 🍳 (@LiquidEffer) reported@L9FRIENDLYSTYLE @Zoroarts @Steam > Two completely unrelated issues
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Nekked Molerat (@nekkedmolerat) reported@Zoroarts @Steam The problem isn't Steams refund policy.
-
Dingo Love Simulator (@dingoman5001) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I'm sorry but that is your problem for making a game with barely a triple-digit minute runtime
-
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
-
RedBeardedJoe (@RedBeardedJoe) reported@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
-
Caribouwu (@karibuwu) reported@BryceGuilbert @Zoroarts @Steam For me the test is for those who can only think with dichotomies and blame "If we changed things to accommodate you it might get worse in general so you should stop being so selfish. Go suffer in silence." No compromise? This problem isn't unique and complex
-
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.
-
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)
-
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.
