Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
gfodor.id (@gfodor) reported@OlexGameDev @Zoroarts @Steam It’s a problem that people can use their system to play paid games to the end for free. It’s almost certainly a solvable problem, you’re just concluding that because you can’t think of a way to solve it without damaging the current environment that no solution is possible.

OrwellWasAnOptimist (@moltensnow) reported@Zoroarts @Steam >Makes a very short game with apparently 0 replayabilty. >People refund (their right) >Despite refunding (their right), they recommend & help the game >"StEaM pLeAsE sToP tHeM!1!!" You are the problem, bud.

Aria Amaryllis (@AriaALake) reported@Crooklynways_ @Zoroarts @Steam So people stealing over $100k from a small game dev isn't an issue that needs fixing? Gods you people are ******* awful.
-
Frenchy Amber (@FrenchyAmber) reported@Zoroarts @Steam I don't really understand the problem. In the end, it gives more visibility to your game which will be bought and kept by those whilling to support your work isn't it ? If they couldn't be refunded, they'll just hack your game and not even leave a good review.
-
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...
-
Blue 💻 (@BwuUnhinged) reported@jaydon8D @Zoroarts @Steam That’s like going to the movies, enjoying the movie so much and then going back to concessions to ask for a refund, it doesn’t really make sense Imagine you asked for that refund and they gave it to you, it’s not a director skill issue it’s just a messed up system atp
-
BritishDissonance (@Britdissonance) reported@jcrain1991 @Zoroarts @Steam Buddy if the average person can beat it in 2 hours its not worth a pricetag. If the average person can't and the refunds are from people that didn't like it then he's complaining about a non issue. Can't have it both ways.

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.

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

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.
-
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).
-
🔞AeyerLock🔞 (Commission Open) 1/3 (@Aeyerlock) reported@_Lukaerd @Zoroarts @Steam i saw that as a problem but there would need to be an appeal process to prove that the developer implemented a scam. That or perhaps developers need to provide proof when and how the achievemnent is aquired and needs to be tested where it functions normally.
-
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.
-
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?

L9FRIENDLYSTYLE (@L9FRIENDLYSTYLE) reported@LiquidEffer @Zoroarts @Steam He has the solution at his fingertips yet you and others are here encouraging him to sit on his *** and do nothing about it and wait for the force he has no control over to fix his problem
