    Fix your game please add elo rollback for cheater games. The amount of cheaters is disgusting and your killing your game by allowing this to happen. Just played against two blatant hackers and lost -450 cause of it. @valvesoftware @Steam @CounterStrike

    @Steam I understand security but I will not digit code press your captchas. I guess I can't play War of Rights cause you are more intersted in farming my data than providing me a service?

    @Steam put a disc drive in the next steam machine??? I guarantee the games that make the money would have no issues releasing physical.

    @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.

    @Steam So you eliminate Nascar Heat and other Nascar base games to promote New Nascar 25 with subscription service , game doesnt allow older PC users to use keyboard, mouse !

    @Zoroarts @Steam That's not a Steam issue, people are just pieces of ****, also you could make game a little longer.

    @Zoroarts @Steam People will at times be trying to play, have some trouble and be trying to debug it, or just trying to play to see if they like or not, and run go 2 hours before they decide, or confirm if will not work really (specially games that need patching and so so).

    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!

  • sqronce
    Dani (@sqronce) reported

    @Zoroarts @nieyter19 @Steam Some would believe evidence, and some wouldn’t. Receipts help with claims. While you’re trying to prove claims, I’m still waiting on evidence of all the reviews boasting of refunding after completing in under 2 hours, showing that this form of refund was a wide spread issue.

    @Steam Minor issue: audio is choppy with Studio Display via HDMI - USB-C cable, hopefully it will be fixed with software updates / DP cable

    @Zoroarts @Steam Idk man feels like you could just idk, make a slightly longer/more challenging game and your issue would be resolved.

    @Steam @Steamworks @STRATO_hilft please unblock our game's server we have this outage cause you guys failed to check reported content I will send a link to the entire site part of the hosting for the rest it was nothing but a game server and a steam game server of a MMORPG

  • VirilethDerg
    Virileth (@VirilethDerg) reported

    @Ain_Macdougal @Zoroarts @Steam You just can't have a refund policy unless it's broken, defective, or not as advertised. Sure people will ***** about no refunds, but that's only because they want to steal. We don't have the kind of high trust society needed to allow for refunds.

    @Zoroarts @Steam if your game can be finished in 2h its not a game you should add more content then you dont have this problem

  • Mr_Clutchweg
    Jyn (@Mr_Clutchweg) reported

    @Cloy006 @Zoroarts @Steam "Only people that found it to easy refunded it". Screenshot shows "GREAT GAME" and refunded. The problem is that people are getting pushed to try refunds like these because of some speedrunners beating difficult games in under 2 hours and refunding them. That works with big

    MultiEnding Heroes OUT NOW! 🇦🇷 (@NicoDiti) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam Add a 3 hours ending cutscene like Kojima and no more problems.

    @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.

    @SteamSupport I'm unable to sign in to my Steam acc. After trying several times, I now receive an "Exceeded" error and can't access my account in the Steam client or browser.This issue is affecting my work. Please look into this as soon as possible. #Steam #SteamSupport @Steam

    @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 Introduce more content extend the gameplay time, problem solved.

    @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.

    @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.

    @Zoroarts @Steam I'm sorry but that is your problem for making a game with barely a triple-digit minute runtime

    @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 I found the problem. Make your game have some content so people play it for more than 2 hours.

    @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
    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
