-
gfodor.id (@gfodor) reported@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.
-
Kamina (@nogal909) reported@TheWarTank_YT @Zoroarts @Steam Yeah, if they feel what they paid was too much and they're in time for a refund I'd have 0 problems, since I respect my consumers (I'm a dev btw and 0 problems with this).
-
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...
-
Cørey (@coreyVMG) reportedFix your **** @Steam
-
Zehlia (@ZehliaGaming) reported@Maxim_Drw @Zoroarts @Steam "Its a ****** game, but fun" if you had fun, its not a ****** game. And if the game is ****, you cant have fun By that first sentence alone, you cant be taken serious and are part of the problem
-
RedBeardedJoe (@RedBeardedJoe) reported@Mikeparkerz @Zoroarts @Steam The issue is thought if you drag it out for too long and people notice no thought into it or its the same as before people go im done anyways you didnt add anything of Value to it too extend it so we should have a Smallish game Refund system and the 2 hour limit one
-
GnomeK (@GnomeKr) reported@Zoroarts @Steam You made a 4 dollar rage bait game about paddling with your friend you can beat under 2 hours without even trying to. Of course people are gonna refund it, you're not gonna keep an empty burger wrap after eating the bruger. Problem is with the game, not the system.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Shedewff🐀 (@Shedewff1) reported@Zoroarts @Steam make a game worth keeping after people finish it idk this is NOT a common problem
-
CynoSideUp 🍳 (@LiquidEffer) reported@L9FRIENDLYSTYLE @Zoroarts @Steam > Two completely unrelated issues
-
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.

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
-
Gonza (@Pekzer_) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Probably the mayority of that 21% were people who dont like the game or have problems with it and thats why they refund.
-
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?
-
Cezary Kruszewski (@CezaryKruszews1) reported@KagutsuchiHeika @Pirat_Nation Actually issue is with @Steam as it was clearly stated by them that accounts cannot be passed on.
-
Somni (@Angel4466889) reported@Zoroarts @Krazerack @Steam Steam doesn’t have devs it loves its consumer base genuinely just make a longer game and its not a problem
-
pikachufrankie (@pikachufrankie) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Portal 1 is roughly a little over an hour long, yet has never had this issue. Limbo is only a few hours long, and also never had this issue. You can make short games that people won’t want to refund. If people are mass refunding your game, it’s because it isn’t worth the price.
-
Michael Eskenasy (@ItsChefreyOS) reportedHey @Steam people…I’ve been saying this for weeks, your coordination is broken…
-
Gærsstapa (@gaersstapa) reported@Jeffrey28627067 @Zoroarts @Steam I don't hate them, at no point have I expressed that view. My view is very simple- if you are a dev, and you use steam KNOWING it has a 2 hour refund window, and you make a game less than 2 hours, and you get refunds; THATS YOUR FAULT. You designed it that way and now you have fallen foul of the systems at play. To then request the entire system, that has until this point worked quite well for everybody, be overhauled- is wild. I think the 2 hour window for refunds is good, it allows you breathing space if there are any technical issues with the game, it allows you to do some troubleshooting before refunding, it allows you to do a tutorial and get out into the main game usually, and figure out if its something you want to do.

Slave to the Caffeine (@SlavetotheCaff1) reported@SmashUltimateB1 @Zoroarts @Steam It's the easiest way to address the problem. I didn't and wouldn't do it but steam isn't going to budge
-
PAVRGAME (@PAVRGAME) reported@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!
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-
MR.SOLACE (@oopsallsolace) reported@Zoroarts @Steam There's a community behind this, where people challenge themselves to beat a game under the refund time. Make your game longer and this will not be an issue.
-
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.

Azrhenia (@Azrhenia) reportedHey @Steam Will you delete my account if I'm not login for 10 years?
-
CamManx (@Uka_Manx) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I checked your steam page and of the English reviews 5 were calling your game bad and only two did this. Your dozens claim is dubious. Among reviews being too short was a very common criticism. You seam to be ignoring the very real problems with your game to scapegoat customers
