Gærsstapa (@gaersstapa) reported@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.

Xenos (Ambassador Of Indie Games) (@WrenchOfChaos) reported@PotatoCrispDip @Steam The problem is that you can return any game through steam within 2 weeks and played under 2 hours, and many devs who have made critically acclaimed but very short games have made this same complaint about people beating & returning the game. It's a a problem steam needs to fix
-
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.
-
Xenos (Ambassador Of Indie Games) (@WrenchOfChaos) reported@PotatoCrispDip @Steam But Steam is the biggest by far so you're losing an insane amount of money & exposure by not having your game on Steam, and there's no reason to keep the store hostile to short games when there's a simple fix. I don't understand defending keeping it that way.

AureusCrush (@AureusCrush) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Idk man feels like you could just idk, make a slightly longer/more challenging game and your issue would be resolved.
-
Whiteshadow (@whiteshadow_001) reported@ArtemR @Steam People have stated issues with the overall thermals being very poor
-
KasherAkasha (@AkebiAkira) reported@Indulgence82 @Zoroarts @Steam “Skill issue” Lowkey I think you should kill yourself
-
ARKS Angel (@arks_angel) reported@Steam is everything okay? First I was having issues downloading from the Chicago CDN, and now getting a bad gateway error when viewing my wishlist?
-
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.
-
Allan Smithee (@SmitheeAll88909) reported@Zoroarts @Steam Honestly such an edge case Steam has no incentive to do anything about it. I agree those who do this are scummy, but the only realistic fix is making your game longer.
-
🔞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.
-
Rodead (@ProgramRodead) reported@Pirat_Nation good for them, still not removing it from my ignore list. which admittedly still doesn't mean much as @Steam's store page is still broken. fix your store damn it! @Steam_Support
-
Pryn Nea (@prynneahroth) reported@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'
-
Yawen (@YawenCh69) reported@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.

Caribouwu (@karibuwu) reported@BryceGuilbert @Zoroarts @Steam For me the test is for those who can only think with dichotomies and blame "If we changed things to accommodate you it might get worse in general so you should stop being so selfish. Go suffer in silence." No compromise? This problem isn't unique and complex
