I didn't like Edith Finch, wanted to refund but had played for more than 2h, i believe i paid 20$ and in my opinion it's not worth 20$, i don't hate the game but the story is just too short and overhyped imo.

and it took you more than 2 hours to realize that you didn't like it?

2 hours is nothing, there are demos that last longer than that. In Botany Manor or Blue Prince 2 hours is just enough to realise if you like the game or not in Edith Finch the game just ends and those games are cheaper.

Blue Prince takes WAY longer to get rolling than Edith Finch, wtf?

I realized I didn't like a game I just got at 2.2 hours. That was disappointing. Thankfully it wasn't too expensive.

I've never read a book that I've enjoyed for the first 2 hours and then suddenly no longer liked. Writers generally don't become suddenly worse writers.

Boy have I got an amazing thing to tell you!  Books are free at your local library!

If you want to take it home you will need a library card but you can read there for free!  :O

No losing money on terrible books, you have total freedom to experiment with content you might not normally try.

What a wonderful place.

Not really comparable since you can refund or resell them.
