Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
✨ kadey 💋 (@kadey180_x) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Dev issue if there is 0 replayability and such a short amount of gameplay.
-
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?
-
SUPER SAM (@FlippantNomad) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Seems like the ez fix would be making more than 2 hrs of content. Certainly easier than having valve waive consumer rights to accommodate your 30 minutes of gameplay
-
✧.*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.
-
Minekrix (@Minekrix) reported@lotfgame @Steam I'm gonna be honest, when I first played Lords , I loved it but had a lot of issues with it. The dev stuck with the game though and made it even better, while fixing all the issues I had. With a studio like that, how could I not be excited for the next game! @tentacletashi
-
Demielle Tournes 🧩📷 VT (Otokonoko👗) (@DemieTournes) reported@TheRealJTV4K60 @Steam And what ******** this has to do with Sony's anti consumer practices? 99% the issue here is about Sony having ****** practices by revoking licenses and closing their older stores without having proper backwards compatibility. And for what do you want those PS5 pro specs? to run badly optimized ****** bloated PS5 exclusives? Also PC is an open ended platform with multiple storefronts and ways to own your games. Seriouysly, you low IQ neanderthals can barely breath with how deep sony's **** is inside your throats.

Yawen (@YawenCh69) reported@Jess_TheVampire @Zoroarts @Steam 604,775 a year. Money isn’t a problem. Can you guys not make up any other argument? You guys are genuinely coping
-
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
-
gfodor.id (@gfodor) reported@OlexGameDev @Zoroarts @Steam You don’t see an issue with someone playing a game for free by exploiting a refund policy?
-
Matt☆Kenzaro (@Kenzaro_) reported@Zoroarts @Steam If your game can be finished in less than 2 hours for someone that never played it previously, that's on you. Refunds are made to be able to return the product if there's an issue or if not following expectation. 2 hours of gameplay is too short for some people
-
Brent Caulfield (@BrentCaulfield) reported@Cyberw0t @Zoroarts @Steam I totally agree. Its not something I would do and I think its basically stealing. Especially if you enjoyed it. I just don't see how Steam can fix that problem without introducing a lot of other problems.
-
Nagi Night Aspect (@artofizanagi) reported@Zoroarts @Steam That's horrible. If they liked they shouldn't be a problem smh
-
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.
-
Pryn Nea (@prynneahroth) reported@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'
-
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.
-
Olex (Solo gamedev Diablo-like) (@OlexGameDev) reported@gfodor @Zoroarts @Steam It is by design on the part of Valve business model. They make it super easy to refund games. That creates a relaxing environment for vast majority of good buyers. Is it a problem that they designed their system this way? No. It is a very common trade off in retail business.
-
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.
-
🔞̷Moxxie🔞🏳️🌈 (@FoxxyUncMoxxie) reported@BearForceCubHQ @Patrick21611 @Steam Sadly its a Activision problem and they kept it that high what steam does is also take a 30% cut steam can't do anything about it its why most people pirate those older games
-
hakase (@hakasemini) reported@AdamService @Zoroarts @Steam people like you are literally why the social contract has broken down
-
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.
-
nanu (@chibinanu) reported@Zoroarts @Steam skill issue tbh. make the game longer XD
-
MistahWolfe (@mistah_wolfe) reported@Zoroarts @Steam First of all, SUPER weird that people are trying to bully the dev for this opinion despite it being 100% justified Second, IDK how to fix this because Steam's refund Policy is SO good for gamers. So many games straight up lie these days id never buy without it
-
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.
-
Olex (Solo gamedev Diablo-like) (@OlexGameDev) reported@gfodor @Zoroarts @Steam If you try to fix that you will break something else far worse. It is better that few play the refund game than get in the way of most customers. Welcome to retail.
-
Average Mortis Enjoyer (@MortisEnjoyer) reported@Daewolf @Zoroarts @Steam It is kinda scummy to refund a 5$ game if you enjoyed it, but still, that issue could have been completely avoided if the DLCs were part of the base game (which is lacking in content). A lot of people don't think 5$ is worth it for an hour long game
-
okay (@Reiiz6) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Idk what game you do but adding new game+ with new ending or bad ending or different ending, unlockable skin/item/achievement through multiple run can fix this problem to certain extend
-
Odoq (@TAW_Odoq) reported@Zoroarts @Steam seems like a sinple fix... have a steam achievement when you beat the game. If you get the achievement you can't refund the game...
-
Brent Caulfield (@BrentCaulfield) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Maybe a part of the reason you are at 90% positive is because people can refund if they aren't happy with it. What is the problem and what solution are you looking for?
-
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.
-
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.
