-
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.
-
✨ kadey 💋 (@kadey180_x) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Dev issue if there is 0 replayability and such a short amount of gameplay.
-
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.
-
CynoSideUp 🍳 (@LiquidEffer) reported@L9FRIENDLYSTYLE @Zoroarts @Steam > Two completely unrelated issues
-
DarkDesertFox (@DarkDesertFox) reported@Zoroarts @Steam People are completely missing the point of your post. The problem with a good system is people will always abuse it and ruin it for others. The fact that they are refunding your game which is only a few dollars shows how much they take advantage of it. We can't have short games?
-
🔞🎈Yttreia🎈🔞 (@Yttreia) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Funny that this is effectively the same as a pretty widespread issue back in the day. Game publishers got mad at people renting and beating their games instead of actually buying the game, so they made their games harder/longer to make it so renting isn't worth it as much.
-
Dani (@sqronce) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Yeah, I think that sucks, though I'm not sure if there is a better system for Steam to have. I dunno if they'd be able to have second pool of games with a different refund policy without causing too much broad confusion. Though I've put very little thought into the problem.
-
Sepamoa (@sepamoanon) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Did you try making better games? 'cause the game you're talking about is stupidly short while not even being good and having quite a lot of issues.
-
♨️ (@olybuzz) reporteda rising tide lifts all boats . . shouldn't @Sony offer service to relicense old Playstations so gamers can format hardware as @Steam box or otherwise run utility software like DVR, SDR tuner, or "Digital DM" LLM nodes for role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons? @Wizards_DnD
-
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.

Brandon Lakeland (@BrandonLakeland) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Click on the comment, find the flag icon on the bottom right, report it. He's admitted to knowingly breaking the terms of service. His account will be banned.

hakase (@hakasemini) reported@AdamService @Zoroarts @Steam people like you are literally why the social contract has broken down
-
Balrog🇲🇽 (@SirBalrog23) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Company loses 100% so its not problem for steam
-
val (@exceedorbit) reported@WeezSays @Steam Boot up Way of the Samurai 4 before the refund period ends. The PC port is very broken and some rigs will never be able to start the game no matter what you do.
-
Bro2Cool (@bro2c00l) reported@harrisuryana @Steam @Ubisoft So here is the solution. Do not run the launcher as an administrator. Close the app. Download cloudflare warp. Select traffic and dns and connect. Reopen the launcher on pc and login. After successfully logging in go to account management, other-

hakase (@hakasemini) reported@AdamService @Zoroarts @Steam when i saw your post and thought about the social contract, i was immediately like i bet this guy whines about immigrants (which is a made up problem about the social contract), and lo and behold it took two seconds to prove that theory right
-
VALIS Gaming (@SweeterPeter72) reported@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.
-
valerian tea enjoyer (@platqr) reported@SSameerHRizvi @Zoroarts @Steam No, it’s actually more lenient. You have a month to issue a refund, and playtime doesn’t matter.
-
Ebin Memes22 (@EbinMemes22) reported@Zoroarts @Steam if your game can be finished that quickly then skill issue tbh
-
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
-
Olex (Solo gamedev Diablo-like) (@OlexGameDev) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I see no issues.
-
Todd (Fox) (@Fox_Todd0370) reported@Zoroarts @Steam And with games like peak, how would that play with your soultion? Replay-ability seems to be the problem here, but go ahead and continue your cope.
-
Samantha Laine 🧭 (@slainephoto) reported@ArcadiaFallen @Steam, could y'all fix this?
-
Vi ***** ☽⛩☾ (@xVi_Vixenx) reported@Zoroarts @Steam A $5 game you can beat in almost an hour and a half...I don't think the issue is the refund policy in this case.
-
Unsacred (@Unsacredx77) reported@CrimsonDesert_ @Steam So I'm not sure but maybe the developers can look into what's causing the issue with the lighting and scaling. 5070 RTX 32 GB of RAM and still having issues with running the game in DLSS on quality and DLAA on Max settings above cinematic if possible. The lighting and scaling look blotchy and pixelated but this is something that didn't happen when the game had come out. The only way that I can get the game to look good is to disable all upscaling which includes the two that I've mentioned above.
-
elskoot (@elskootz) reportedToday I leaned @Steam hates @Starlink and I cannot sign in. I am pissed I ever played a game in steam. I’ll start over on @xbox I guess
-
Blue 💻 (@BwuUnhinged) reported@jaydon8D @Zoroarts @Steam Thank you for fixing my analogy I guess, the point of my metaphor is that if you go into something you paid for and it happens to be short that’s user error, not the dev’s fault. You should do research before buying anything, not only that but if you buy this thing and you
-
Bickle bork (@BickleKun) reported@Zoroarts @Steam fun fact if you were playing on Xbox, they don't charge you until 10 days before release Because you see when you do those refunds it cost you money. if only all you people were on XBOX so many of your problems wouldn't exist How about that
-
gfodor.id (@gfodor) reported@OlexGameDev @Zoroarts @Steam I see. you said you see no issues, which implied to me you thought there was literally no problem here. there's a problem, clearly, but you just don't think there are any solutions to it. in an ideal world, people wouldn't be able to play entire paid games for free.
-
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.
