    @Zoroarts @Steam You have 1 level what do you expect.... make a longer game can't expect everyone to play for an hour and keep it. Come on its not steams issue.. I have been making games for over 26 years alone. Can't complain if someone beats it in the 2 hours. Thats on you not @Steam

  • JustAKaiDev
    JustAKai (@JustAKaiDev) reported

    @BeanJuiceStudio @Zoroarts @Steam The amount of people saying womp womp or skill issue is actually concerning. I saw a guy that claimed to be a game dev say he was “pro customer” so he wants all games under 2 hours to be free and some other sht. Insane mindset to have imo. Valuing your own work like that is crazy

    @Zoroarts @Steam If you’re crying about a refund policy then you are the issue.

    @Indulgence82 @Zoroarts @Steam “Skill issue” Lowkey I think you should kill yourself

  • BruceMakegoo
    GOD BLESS A MIRACLE! (MIRACLES HAPPEN EVERY DAY!) (@BruceMakegoo) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Refunds were added due to a legal issue, so steam might not want to push their luck with refunds and risk a new court case/law that forces a policy that is worse for themselves and/or devs. They have had no issue neutering many other features due to abuse already in the past.

    @Steam Im trying to contact someone in support about an issue im having with my account on one of the games i have in my library and there is literally no option to just open a ticket.

  • Tiny_Tuna
    Tuna (@Tiny_Tuna) reported

    @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.

  • PoshIndie
    Posh Indie (@PoshIndie) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam The problem here is "Your expected playtime" is not "Their expected playtime", and dishonest developers will pad those numbers just to erase the possibility of refunds on short games. The best solution is to just make the game longer, unfortunately. Everything else is abusable.

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

  • NTsuki_Tia
    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).

  • Fox_Todd0370
    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.

  • galaxygash
    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.

  • PankajIndoria1

    @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

  • Britdissonance
    BritishDissonance (@Britdissonance) reported

    @jcrain1991 @Zoroarts @Steam The irony in calling me a simpleton when you're clearly a complete retard, good lord. Now you're making the argument that steam policy should change on one review? My whole point is either most people are refunding after beating it in under 2 hours, in which case its not worth the money, or they are refunding it for other reasons which is a non issue. Either way this dev is complaining about nothing.

  • dimipossum
    no one (@dimipossum) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Dont make games under 2 hours, if you cant its not my Problem. I refund

  • 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.

    @Steam Fix your servers bro 😭

  • RealBSP3
    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.

    @Zoroarts @Steam This seems like a you problem

  • 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.

  • Psykatomique
    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.

  • Machete_Paul_
    Machete Paul (@Machete_Paul_) reported

    @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.

    @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

  • 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.

  • SpaceGirlYeeHaw
    SpaceYeeHaw (@SpaceGirlYeeHaw) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam I hope steam does nothing, you should have made a game that takes longer then the refund time and provide enough content to go past the refund time, if you can't do that then thats your problem.

  • MattWilliamson9
    Raion 🏳️‍🌈 (Busy Bee Mode) (@MattWilliamson9) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam ....no? Look I'm sorry there are *** holes out there doing this to your game, but that doesn't mean the refund policy is the problem, it's just dumb asses abusing the refund policy (which is against T&C). When someone causes a car crash in their BMW, you don't blame the BMW?

    Useless (@mustafa27007713) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam i dont see this as steam fault,2 hours is such a good time window to experience a game especially if its a big pvp paid game (see marathon). now its for sure annoying for people to refund you even tho they loved your game but thats more of people issue then steam issue.

    @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
