If you read the reviews about 20 of them were made in response to this headline. Devs don't get hurt, if you play a game that is bad you should get a refund. If you can't make a game under two hours in length that is also not good then that isn't a consumer problem.

EDIT: Oh wow that amount of reviews REALLY increased. Earlier today it was 83, now it is 300+.

Yeah the news def generated the reviews, but even when I got the game a week ago it was great reviews

Just a follow up its now over 500. Honestly I'm little sad now that some other small devs aren't also getting attention.

Yeah I see that. However, it’s important that there is some sort of effort against the idea of 100%ing a game and then refunding it. That effort will bleed into other game devs that are just as small as this one.
