  • oopsallsolace
    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.

  • SE_Apocalypse
    Apocalypse (@SE_Apocalypse) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Have you ever thought to find other devs with similar nice and short games and release them as compilation instead? You avoid that 2 hours issue that way. 21% refund rate ... still sounds like most people who enjoy the game do want to give you money for it. 11% goes to charity.

  • IsaacClarkeFNaF
    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.

    @Zoroarts @Steam I've put 5 hours into A Webbing Journey and most of that was before they added real stuff to do. Just ******* with the physics was entertaining enough to earn 3 hours from me. Sounds like a skill issue homie.

    @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.

  • JuiceHaunter
    JuiceHaunter (@JuiceHaunter) reported

    @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.

  • Tiny_Tuna

    @Zoroarts @Steam Doesn't seem like it would be very hard for them to fix. If you get a game completion achievement, then no refund. Ezpz.

    @PlayStation If I wanna play co-op games, I’d rather play on @Steam No need to pay for multiplayer for online co-op. And they have good customer service when it comes to digital purchases, which you DON’T Ya sure can REALLY afford to go discless? #NoDiscNoBuy

    @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

  • Dan_Abrenica

    @MattyDanner @Steam Hello @MattyDanner, I have a question, if Jose and Panchito have a angry issue and sent there near the water. Will there be 2 Big Reflections of Jose and Panchito's counterparts or just the same reflection as the same order to Devil Donald as he splits himself into a few devils.

    @Zoroarts @Steam Skill issue. Make your game last 3 hours.

  • sheldonlv30
    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

  • PwrPak
    PwrPak (@PwrPak) reported

    @Steam So you eliminate Nascar Heat and other Nascar base games to promote New Nascar 25 with subscription service , game doesnt allow older PC users to use keyboard, mouse !

  • marcs125
    Marc (@marcs125) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Sorry, but respectfully you are the problem. You knew the policy Steam had and released a low value product (low playtime/cost) so you should have expected this. The platform shouldn't cater to you when you create the situation. Make a better product or just accept it.

    @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.

    hey @valvesoftware @Steam don't tell me to reset my password just for you to deny my login. fix this **** QUICKLY (e84/87)

  • MrWho26
    Samson (@MrWho26) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Can't say I agree with you there...dispite the guy being able to complete your game in under 2h it should b absolutely possible for him to refund at that time. The amount of trash/meme games on steam is a big issue still and your simple solution won't work in such complex case

  • OmegaSaiyanX
    AJ 🐦 aka SuperSaiyan4 (@OmegaSaiyanX) reported

    I have gone many years (more than 3yrs) not going on my @Steam account and you know what? I never lost any game or service that I had paid for. They are still there! Eat that @Sony @PlayStation

  • Daniboy07dani

    @Zoroarts @Steam Who gives a ****? Take your bullshit and get out of here steam has the best refund policy and the best customer service of all gaming and you want to ruin it because people do a any% speed run of a indie game? Get tf out of here with that

    @TheDailyGamer86 @PlayStation @Steam Hi there 👋🏾 What's seems to be the problem with your PlayStation account?

    @Zoroarts @Steam Introduce more content extend the gameplay time, problem solved.

    @L9FRIENDLYSTYLE @Zoroarts @Steam > Two completely unrelated issues

  • Witchmaster
    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 🤬

  • WeezSays
    Mike. No, the other one. (@WeezSays) reported

    Absolute 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.

  • maxieaftermdnyt
    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)

    @Steam I sold my ps5 pro, bye gta 2 years... I have a pc with rtx 4070 and steam, problem solved!

  • RecklesUnicorn
    🚫👁️Reckless-Unicorn | Demitrieus Kahn (@RecklesUnicorn) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam maybe the problem isnt STEAM MAYBE the problem is the amount of content in your game.... MAYBE if it had more gameplay people wouldnt be able to FINISH IT under refund time.... did you think about THAT

  • Gim_John_Un
    steviegnote (@Gim_John_Un) reported

    @Zoroarts @Krazerack @Steam I would brag too if I finished the game in less than 2 hours for free. Maybe that’s a developer and publisher issue, but also why I stay away from steam.

  • OperaOfTheLC
    InquisitorIrene (@OperaOfTheLC) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam That’s such a trashy move, why is 2 hours the standard still? There needs to be better ways to issue refunds rather than just a standard 2 hours.

  • gaersstapa
    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.
