Gærsstapa (@gaersstapa) reported@Jeffrey28627067 @Zoroarts @Steam I don't hate them, at no point have I expressed that view. My view is very simple- if you are a dev, and you use steam KNOWING it has a 2 hour refund window, and you make a game less than 2 hours, and you get refunds; THATS YOUR FAULT. You designed it that way and now you have fallen foul of the systems at play. To then request the entire system, that has until this point worked quite well for everybody, be overhauled- is wild. I think the 2 hour window for refunds is good, it allows you breathing space if there are any technical issues with the game, it allows you to do some troubleshooting before refunding, it allows you to do a tutorial and get out into the main game usually, and figure out if its something you want to do.

✨Yutami✨ - Comms Open! (@ArtbyYutami) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I am so sorry this happened and Im glad that person commented as a way for you to see your game isnt the issue, even if they are part of the problem. I hope they change this for smaller games.
-
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
-
DougieDispenser@aspirin.jp (@Shinogi_Trench) reported@zynnachin @BasedBickle @Steam “glaring issues that it takes playtime to figure out” speak for yourself. Who ******** is “they” lmao. You don’t get to speak about it because your opinion is worthless. You also type like a retarded fat chick. Three questions in your reply because you’re unsure about everything
-
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
-
ZoroTheWingWam🇮🇪🩵🪽 (@Zorothewingwam) reported@Zoroarts @Steam This seems like a you problem
-
Witchmaster (@Witchmaster) reported@SurvivalGN @ConanExiles @Steam The biggest issues in most survival games of its generation, are to assume PvP can carry interest long term. NEW CONTENT was provided by Modding. But they need something to work with. Gamers need experiences, encounters, mysteries. And do something with what's there. Stagnant 🤬
-
Xenos (Ambassador Of Indie Games) (@WrenchOfChaos) reported@PotatoCrispDip @Steam The problem is that you can return any game through steam within 2 weeks and played under 2 hours, and many devs who have made critically acclaimed but very short games have made this same complaint about people beating & returning the game. It's a a problem steam needs to fix
-
MultiEnding Heroes OUT NOW! 🇦🇷 (@NicoDiti) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Add a 3 hours ending cutscene like Kojima and no more problems.
-
Pankaj Indoria (@PankajIndoria1) reported@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
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Average Mortis Enjoyer (@MortisEnjoyer) reported@Daewolf @Zoroarts @Steam It is kinda scummy to refund a 5$ game if you enjoyed it, but still, that issue could have been completely avoided if the DLCs were part of the base game (which is lacking in content). A lot of people don't think 5$ is worth it for an hour long game
-
Shedewff🐀 (@Shedewff1) reported@Zoroarts @Steam make a game worth keeping after people finish it idk this is NOT a common problem
-
Kellanisverycool (@Kellanisvcool) reported@Zoroarts @Steam lol make a game longer than 2 hours dumbass. I can't believe that's an actual issue you're having.
-
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.
-
Ric Sin (@Sinric23) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Your direct competitors and peers specifically target the post two hour framing. This isn’t a you nor a player problem at all. Ashes of creation deliberately rug pulled as well as tons of game media. Make a great game.. let em refund.. make more content.. build your brand. Be the difference not saying players should lose autonomy or you sell off the entire gaming community to the filth that has been delivering predatory content in greater and greater measure. Don’t blame steam either .. they are about the only vector creating a legit space for gamers. So.. keep making games. You made 55k people interact, make another game.. get more. Stop trying to turn entire systems into harvest mechanisms the ruin the entire culture and economy.
-
MR.SOLACE (@oopsallsolace) reported@Zoroarts @Steam There's a community behind this, where people challenge themselves to beat a game under the refund time. Make your game longer and this will not be an issue.
-
j (@FUCKJVLY) reported@Steam One of the biggest online markets with millions of users needs a phone service. It’s ******* ridiculous I have to wait hours or days for a reply on a hacked account….. Especially accounts worth thousands.
-
Tom (@tommyownzall) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I found the problem. Make your game have some content so people play it for more than 2 hours.
-
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!
-
Mike Steel 💵🥩🥃 (@mike_steel_) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Skill issue. Make your game last 3 hours.
-
MarquessOfGoyim (@GooberTheGreat8) reported@Zoroarts @Steam If you’re crying about a refund policy then you are the issue.
-
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.
-
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.
-
N'Tsuki Tia (@NTsuki_Tia) reported@Zoroarts @Steam People will at times be trying to play, have some trouble and be trying to debug it, or just trying to play to see if they like or not, and run go 2 hours before they decide, or confirm if will not work really (specially games that need patching and so so).
-
cracinlac (@burnme121107) reported@Chriss_m @Zoroarts @Steam do you watch a movie and then demand your money back because it was only an hour and a half long? and clearly the quality of the game isnt a problem because people are literally saying they enjoyed it but still refunding it. its bad for the developer who is a person with needs
-
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.
