  @Zoroarts @Steam The problem here is "Your expected playtime" is not "Their expected playtime", and dishonest developers will pad those numbers just to erase the possibility of refunds on short games. The best solution is to just make the game longer, unfortunately. Everything else is abusable.

  @nogal909 @Zoroarts @Steam I don't have problems with refunds, either. I'm against abusing the refund system, however. But genuinely enjoying the game and refunding is immoral. You are screwing someone else's time and effort, which I find to be an awful attitude and a bad use of the refund system.

  @allefornication @Zoroarts @Steam Well that's the thing, replayability does include wasting the players time, but the player doesn't mind because usually they unlock new things (skills, characters, cards, paths, etc). Blue Prince is a good example- 1 going through of the game is fairly short, however through subsequent playthroughs you unlock new cards/rooms and this opens up new paths of progression. Now in a slop game, which are highly focused on online/co-op experiences, they are generally short, a round of Meccha Chameleon lasts like 10 minutes all together, and that's it, games done. However the reason players keep going back is because of that online experience, which in itself creates new adventures and paths and opportunities. Now you've gone from 10 minutes, to 2, 5, 10+ hours of gameplay all on the same short loop and a handful of maps. And this game apparently does not have that replayability factor, if I were the dev, even though I've had a highly successful launch (most indies sell about 2000 copies on average I think) selling many hundreds of thousands of copies, even with that high refund rate, I would sit there and try and figure out why people are refunding firstly, and secondly why is my player count low. Are those things I can fix or are they things for me to learn going into my next game. And its ok btw, I had to make dozens of demos, and game jam games before I had an idea that was solid enough for people to play. So on that one fair do's to him, however you don't ask for a system to be upended on the basis of a handful of reviews that took the piss against potentially many others that refunded because they thought your game sucked. So when I say pad it out that does not just mean add **** for shits sake, which is what people think because they aren't developers, but it also means how can I create a more engaging gameplay loop, how do I attract my target audience, how do I keep them having fun. And if you haven't answered these questions, what are you doing. And gameplay loops btw aren't long, they are often anywhere from a minute to 10-20 minutes. Break down any game that you've played and you realise this is the case, even open world games when you might get dozens to hundreds of hours of game time.

  @MattyDanner @Steam Hello @MattyDanner, I have a question, if Jose and Panchito have a angry issue and sent there near the water. Will there be 2 Big Reflections of Jose and Panchito's counterparts or just the same reflection as the same order to Devil Donald as he splits himself into a few devils.

  @gameunlocked26 I can't not even open the game at all on my PC, @Steam please fix the issue

  A serious issue especially for indie developers that @Steam needs to take seriously into consideration. If the player finishes the game, should he have the right to refund it? On the other hand, if this change is made and the game is short on purpose, the player is not protected.

  @ConanExiles So @steam forced my game to update , despite being hidden. Will you be fixing any of the broken mechanics brought on by this Enhanced con? Let's start small, give me back farenheit temperatures. Oh, and the ability to change mod layouts from the launcher that no one wanted.

  @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

  @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.
