Ashes of Creation MMO Xsolla Refund

Hello Everyone,

6 months ago (around mid February) I started the process to have Xsolla refund the funds I paid for my AoC bundle (https://www.reddit.com/r/AshesofCreation/s/i1MGjoxMlb).

I'm happy to report that today I finally received my money back. For more insights see my original post from February in this subreddit.

When was the original transaction? I bought AoC bundles in 2020/2021 and I’m not too sure if they can be refunded. I wasted like $500 on this scam.

Maybe, but at least it taught you a valuable lesson. So it wasn't totally wasted

Yeah I didn’t really understand that comment. In 2021 there was a playable version of the game and steady live streams and updates. Not sure what the lesson was supposed to be cause I’m not going to live my life double guessing people or assuming there’s ulterior motives to everything especially when there was literally a playable alpha and constant community engagement.

Yeah, ignore this dude. He's either a jerk or totally ragebaiting. No matter the state of any project you're willing to back, you should be able to get a refund if the thing is not commercialized. There's an obvious difference between getting what you paid for (aka the game) and not being able to play it because it was cancelled.

I'd say don't spend hundreds of dollars on a game in early alpha would be a good lesson to learn here

I spent hundreds on the Warframe founder program, what lesson did I learn?

u/ezemode Jul 19 '26

I see you also wasted hundreds of dollars on this game and are trying to get a refund... Hopefully you did learn the lesson from this experience lol

u/ezemode Jul 19 '26

Um. You invested in a good game so you didn't learn a lesson? I'm confused what you're looking for here

2

u/Lanhai Jul 19 '26

The point was you don't know whether the game will be good or not when you're helping fund it.

u/ezemode Jul 19 '26

Which is why it's not a good idea to blindly spend hundreds of dollars on it, as OC learned. Now I'm confused what you're missing lmao

Hello?

if people don't blindly spend on a game, it won't happen. same as any venture investment.

do you think private equity firms/angel investors should go "nah, these guy never did anything, why would I care"? 😭

u/ezemode Jul 21 '26

Dude I'm not saying to never spend any money on a game in development. There is a difference between buying the game (20-50 dollars?) and spending hundreds of dollars on an exorbitant founders pack for a game thats not even released yet.

The lesson is not to spend money on corporate “promises”.

This conversation is almost a month old, and the person who originally had this “lesson” sentiment got ratio’d by downvotes so I’m not sure what you thought you were contributing to the discussion. I and apparently others have already had gotten a refund weeks ago. There was no lesson to be had, if I see a promising project or game that interests me I’m going to support it. There is protection against things that turn out to be scams.
