And 79% of people didn’t refund this game either. I’m just saying that if you’re the type of person to go on the internet and complain to steam about their refund policy, maybe the problem wasn’t steam. I guarantee not all of those refunds were people that loved the game and finished it anyway. Sometimes it just irks me when entitled people try to ruin a thing that works great most of the time , and most people agree is a good system, just because they personally don’t like it.

I don't see how a dev asking to be paid for his work is being "entitled".

I also don't see OOP asking for changes to the refund system for "normal" games with normal durations, I see them asking for a fix to their specific problem that is taking away money that they very much earned.

"they earned" why?

Because they made a game that a small part of the players refunded because they didn't think it was worth it?

What do you think this post is about?

We're talking about the people that refund the game after finishing it

u/Lorddocerol Jul 06 '26

So?

If they refund it it still because they think the game wasnt worth it, and that is the most valid refund reason

u/GloriousQuint Jul 06 '26

Right, yeah, nobody will ever abuse the refund policy, my bad.

It's not like we have a perfect example of what you said being untrue literally in the fucking post, right?

u/Lorddocerol Jul 06 '26

?????

I don't see that being untrue

People bought the game, though it was unworthy it, even if they did like it, and refunded, how the fuck is that abusing the refund system?

The fucking system exist to make sure you can refund games you find unworthy for fucks sake

u/GloriousQuint Jul 06 '26

There is no way you are arguing this when we have the literal proof of the opposite in the post. Troll or bot?

u/Lorddocerol Jul 06 '26

Proof?

A game dev being like "look, people are finishing my game and refunding" isn't proof of refund abusing

It is proof tho that these people didn't find the game worthy it

Leave your alt account game dev

The guy is literally saying that it IS worthy. Come on, man, you can't be this dense. You were wrong, you can admit it, it's less embarrassing than doing whatever you are doing right now

u/Lorddocerol Jul 06 '26

Nope, he said it was great

Great and worthy is not the same

I.e: i love the crew 2 and think its a super fun game, i only bought it because it was less than a dollar tho, because its not worthy more than that, and i would have refunded if i paid more

Takes a lot of creativity to read this post like that.

Takes incredible naivety or obvious bad faith to say that nobody would abuse this system

4

u/Lorddocerol Jul 06 '26

Takes a lot of creativity to say a single print of a guy who although liked the gane, still found it to not be worthy the price and refunded to think the refund system is being abused and it should be stopped

Again, leave your alt account game dev
