    @LiquidEffer @Zoroarts @Steam Do you typically spend your energy on the problems you have the power to solve or do you complain about issues out of your control publicly This guys spam refreshing his sea of thumbs up reviews and he saw a singular red one and posted this while ignoring ones with real issues

  • Thizlam87

    @Zoroarts @Steam I think the fix to this is to not make a game that is under 2 hours long. Steam shouldn’t change the 2 hour limit for refunds, I personally think it should be 3 hours.

  • Foresight20_20

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

  • Erza_Oficial

    @Zoroarts @Steam Nothing against you or your game, but if your game only offers less than 2h of content then that's more a you problem rather than the person playing

  • gozfrt

    @Zoroarts @Steam Anticonsumer ****** *** dev who lies about the numbers. Steams refund policy is the best and your slop of a game wont "fix" something that isnt broken. Next time make a effort to make the game longer than 1h 30mins

  • RickTrajan
    RickTrajan (@RickTrajan) reported

    @gaersstapa @Zoroarts @Steam The problem with this mindset is it encourages prolonging a game rather than doing what it's meant to do (telling a story, good multiplayer setup, or whatever a game you want it to be). It's like word count on essays, vehicles being predominantly suvs and trucks in US, etc.

  • Ian_Fisch

    @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.

    @Zoroarts @Steam maybe the problem isnt STEAM MAYBE the problem is the amount of content in your game.... MAYBE if it had more gameplay people wouldnt be able to FINISH IT under refund time.... did you think about THAT

  • AkebiAkira

    @Indulgence82 @Zoroarts @Steam “Skill issue” Lowkey I think you should kill yourself

  • Cloy006

    @Mr_Clutchweg @Zoroarts @Steam "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." People like this wouldntve even tried the game if they didnt see speedrunners play it, there was no will to keep it

  • shenkay

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

  • MortisEnjoyer
    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

  • NTsuki_Tia
    N'Tsuki Tia (@NTsuki_Tia) reported

    @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).

  • JuiceHaunter
    JuiceHaunter (@JuiceHaunter) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam This is a dev problem. Not a steam problem. You could argue maybe $1 - $2 games can't be refunded... But if you actually developed a game that can be fully completed on 2hrs or less than what you have is a demo and you forgot the develop the full game.

  • 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.

  • OperaOfTheLC
    InquisitorIrene (@OperaOfTheLC) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam That’s such a trashy move, why is 2 hours the standard still? There needs to be better ways to issue refunds rather than just a standard 2 hours.

  • SpaceGirlYeeHaw
    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.

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

  • xVi_Vixenx
    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.

  • OmegaSaiyanX

    I have gone many years (more than 3yrs) not going on my @Steam account and you know what? I never lost any game or service that I had paid for. They are still there! Eat that @Sony @PlayStation

  • VeganCatBounce

    The actual problem is I got a new phone # and steam will not let me log in with a password, an email, they are forcing me to give that phone # I can not play war of rights because I refuse to let steam farm me. **** off @Steam

  • galaxygash
    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.

  • RealBSP3
    𝐁𝐒𝐏𝟑 (@RealBSP3) reported

    @Zoroarts @Steam They might be falling under some play requirement limit. Maybe that limit is two hours. I've returned two games. I played both for half an hour, and realized one was broken, and the other departed too far from a franchise I loved to keep playing.

  • JustAKaiDev
    JustAKai (@JustAKaiDev) reported

    @BeanJuiceStudio @Zoroarts @Steam The amount of people saying womp womp or skill issue is actually concerning. I saw a guy that claimed to be a game dev say he was “pro customer” so he wants all games under 2 hours to be free and some other sht. Insane mindset to have imo. Valuing your own work like that is crazy

  • tommyownzall
    Tom (@tommyownzall) reported

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

  • isawarenshi
    isawarenshi (@isawarenshi) reported

    @Ian_Fisch @Zoroarts @Steam The issue is define short in both cases and don't make the policy too unwieldly for actual use.

  • VeganCatBounce
    StockStackr (@VeganCatBounce) reported

    @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?

    @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'

    @Steam you want to spam in the background, but when I go to log in to my account you have been spoofin, now we have a password issues? you pukes!
