    @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'

    @BenderFondue @Zoroarts @Steam Also you can't even try to refund a game if you played over 2 hours, so just make the game longer. Also from what he said in the thread its only speedrunners that can play it under 2 hours, so a minority of gamers. Seems like a non issue to me

    @Vetrix22 @Zoroarts @Steam $1 for an hour of fun? Yeah- that’s a good deal. No one said games like that are at risk here. I haven’t done that to an indie developer- that’s cruel. Games like MiSide are fun. Worth the money. Not gonna refund. (Although it was beaten in like an hour) Games that charge AAA title prices that end in under an hour or two is unacceptable- I will refund. I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again with a cute smile. Money isn’t the problem- the principal of the situation is.

    @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.

    @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.

  • 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

  • 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.

    @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!

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

    @OlexGameDev @Zoroarts @Steam I don’t need to provide a solution to avoid concluding there isn’t one. I’m pretty confident it can be solved, it’s rooted in a classification problem. I have like 5-10 ideas just sitting that I would try if I worked at Valve and cared enough to try to fix it.

  • Zoroarts
    Zoroarts 🦈 Paddle Paddle Paddle OUT NOW (@Zoroarts) reported

    @Steam I may have found the solution: Showing the expected playtime on the Steampage. That way no one should have a problem. You see Price + Expected Playtime and can decide if its a pass or not. That way at least "Too short" can NOT be a refund reason anymore

  • 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.

  • SeedVEVO

    this is still broken, @valvesoftware @steam please fix <3

  • Selatiorine
    ✧.*Selene.*✧ Genshin HSR WuWa Pilot (@Selatiorine) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Sounds like a you problem. If someone can finish the game within an hour. That is not a game and certainly not one worth paying for. That refund policy has been extremely helpful for times that games ended up being terrible or completely not worth the money.

  • HowlingFord
    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

  • watamelon23
    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.

  • Foresight20_20
    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.

    @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.

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

  • GingersnapsTM
    Gingersnaps (@GingersnapsTM) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam If you put that DLC you're peddling in the base game instead it would be long enough that nullify this issue.

    @SlavetotheCaff1 @Zoroarts @Steam brain issue - not every game is 20 hours (neither should be), steam should change it's refund policy for shorter games
