    @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.

    @Steam is everything okay? First I was having issues downloading from the Chicago CDN, and now getting a bad gateway error when viewing my wishlist?

    @Zoroarts @Steam cry about it honestly, your niche issue is not going to get in the way of a very good refund policy. make a better game.

    @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.

    @Zoroarts @Steam make a game worth keeping after people finish it idk this is NOT a common problem

    🫵😡 @grok @Steam @Steam_Support I made an account on EA App and another on Steam — everything went super smooth and easy. But on Steam I’ve got a problem: it won’t let me log into my account, saying I need to close my mom’s session, even though hers is already closed. I’m not sure if the issue is because I’m using my mom’s PC. When I try to log in on Steam from my phone, it says the password is invalid 😩🔒. I’ve already changed it three times through Steam Help Center and still nothing.

    @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.

  • Terkelfisk

    @Zoroarts @Steam It is weird to refund a game that they liked. But if they didn't like it, then I don't see a problem with them refunding it, even if they completed it. A short game shouldn't be a work around the two hour refund mark that is Steam's policy.

  • WrenchOfChaos
    Xenos (Ambassador Of Indie Games) (@WrenchOfChaos) reported

    @PotatoCrispDip @Steam But Steam is the biggest by far so you're losing an insane amount of money & exposure by not having your game on Steam, and there's no reason to keep the store hostile to short games when there's a simple fix. I don't understand defending keeping it that way.

  • TheWarTank_YT
    TheWarTank (@TheWarTank_YT) reported

    @nogal909 @Zoroarts @Steam I don't have problems with refunds, either. I'm against abusing the refund system, however. But genuinely enjoying the game and refunding is immoral. You are screwing someone else's time and effort, which I find to be an awful attitude and a bad use of the refund system.

  • isawarenshi
    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.

  • ArtbyYutami

    @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.

    @Steam Steam has gotten it back for me very goated Customer service

  • isawarenshi

    @Ian_Fisch @Zoroarts @Steam The issue is define short in both cases and don't make the policy too unwieldly for actual use.

  • dingoman5001
    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

  • MetriusMD
    MetriusMD (@MetriusMD) reported

    I 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

  • 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.

  • AllahingMutant
    AllahingMutant (@AllahingMutant) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Skill issue. Your game is the equivalent of a fat chick that puts out on the first date and is a lousy lay on top of that. If people aren't coming back for seconds, that's on you.

  • willemt1981

    @GamingCentral26 The subscription isn't the issue. It's ownership and recovery. Digital libraries only work if verified owners can regain access after a compromise. @Steam has shown this is possible for years.

  • EveilCharm
    EVEILCHARM (@EveilCharm) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam I agree it sucks but it's consumer protection against scam games and even one of them hit the news about a month or two ago so it's still a problem even now with the refund.

    I'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!

    @ArtemR @Steam People have stated issues with the overall thermals being very poor

  • RyanPHPDev
    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.
