N'Tsuki Tia (@NTsuki_Tia) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Look, I undertand how it's a problem for you, and a seriously one, but, don't be that person, is not a nice posture to take. Steam refunds used to allow a longer time, them were reduced to 4 hours, and now 2, it sucks people still being able to abuse that, but many games (1/2)
-
CatMan (@Epik_S07) reported@Steam on browser its work fine problem in client
-
わためろん (@watamelon23) reported@Maxim_Drw @Zoroarts @Steam The problem is that a lot of the time the ways devs add extra playtime to get over 2 hours is just by adding pointless padding. I'd rather just have the great 60 or 90 minute game instead of one that is made worse by padding. Thank you friend.
-
Darrell williams (@2000_pip) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Never refunded a game ever but I would like to think I could if I had a real problem with the game I think there police is perfect the way it is there going to all ways be ppl that exploit it but the reverse is the company use it to exploit the consumer a middle is what we have
-
Todd (Fox) (@Fox_Todd0370) reported@Scorcagon @Zoroarts @Steam No, it called a skill issue, making a game doesn't entitle you to people money because they tried it, if the makers had confidence in this game they would had released a demo. People can determine what they value their time and money, it's not up to the developers.
-
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.
-
Sheldon, the Dentally Challenged (@sheldonlv30) reported@Zoroarts @Steam there's no way of doing that without developers exploiting it to make their games un-refundable. its just one of those things that can negatively effect either party, and its better to risk issues to developers than consumers
-
PAVRGAME (@PAVRGAME) reported@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!
-
Nekked Molerat (@nekkedmolerat) reported@Zoroarts @Steam The problem isn't Steams refund policy.
-
Cørey (@coreyVMG) reportedFix your **** @Steam
-
Pryn Nea (@prynneahroth) reported@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'
-
illyasviel Von Einzbern (@Illyasviel404) reported@Zoroarts @Krazerack @Steam I hate people do that.. unless got issues game really bad i understand....or unplayable.. well some people abuse it ... this gonna be problem later
-
Aria Amaryllis (@AriaALake) reported@YawenCh69 @Zoroarts @Steam Name literally any other product or service that you can buy and use to its fullest extent and still get a refund for it without extenuating circumstances.
-
Ian Fisch - Lead Coder on Kingmakers (wishlist!) (@Ian_Fisch) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I think they should have an option to publish a “short” game with a shorter refund window. The problem is that you’d have to make the player aware of this when he buys, and I don’t think they want to be drawing more attention to the refund policy. That could easily backfire and lead to a higher rate of refund. I don’t have a good solution here.
-
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
-
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.
-
Psykatomique productions (@Psykatomique) reported@Zoroarts @Steam At this point, if you sell a game that is less than 2 hour... the gamer is not the problem here... We have more and more games on steam, i would rather have half and more consistent.
-
Mike Steel 💵🥩🥃 (@mike_steel_) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Skill issue. Make your game last 3 hours.
-
johnny utah (@vinnychase1764) reported@Steam your support sucks. You won’t refund a game that has under 4 hours of play time. You see all the reviews. It’s broken.
-
HowlingHenry (@HowlingFord) reported@gaersstapa @Zoroarts @Steam He can complain about the system being unfair for short games (it is) but the system is inherently better regardless due to the fact that anyone with tech problems or other limitations can always get their money back after buying a game on steam
-
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.
-
Ryan Watson (@RyanPHPDev) reported@Randomuser22147 @Zoroarts @Steam Agreed. If we have to choose between a 2 hours no question money back on games vs you making a more comprehensive game that people are willing to want keep or play for more than 2 hours, I would say that you are the problem.
-
Turbopumpkin (@Turbopumpkin1) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Good games don't have this issue
-
OrwellWasAnOptimist (@moltensnow) reported@Zoroarts @Steam >Makes a very short game with apparently 0 replayabilty. >People refund (their right) >Despite refunding (their right), they recommend & help the game >"StEaM pLeAsE sToP tHeM!1!!" You are the problem, bud.
-
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.
-
Shenkay (@shenkay) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Introduce more content extend the gameplay time, problem solved.
-
Apex Autist (@galaxygash) reported@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.
-
Isaac Clarke (@IsaacClarkeFNaF) reported@Zoroarts @Steam For short games, it should me made that the 70 or 80 or 90% "achievement" milestone makes the game unrefundable "because of the 2 hours limit". It should be refundable only if broken or if it's a scam.
-
Flamiexfuta (@flamiexfuta) reported@Zoroarts @Steam i mean its like this for a reason, its to protect the consumer from how terrible some devs can be tbh even 2 hours isnt enough for some games not saying ur one, the easiest best way to fix this exact situation is u need to make a longer game. instead of blanket hurt everyone
-
VALIS Gaming (@SweeterPeter72) reported@Zoroarts @Steam So many problems on the Steam store could be solved by more human involvement, but this one doesn't even need it: Serial returners (5 a month?) get put on a warning. If they continue the excessive returns, they simply can't anymore.
