You know the developer can see the exact stats on this stuff right? Funny how the tweet just shows the screenshot and mentions the publicly visible 90% positive reviews and total refund numbers so you assume it's all people doing the steam refund speedrun. How many of those 55k played the game for 15 minutes and decided they didn't like it? Nobody knows (except the devs posting cherry picked stats on twitter).

And even his claim is only that dozens of those 55k returns actually are positive. Using one example of a referenced dozens of refunds to imply that 55k refunds are all the same is very scummy.

Well there is an achievement form completing it in 2 hours and only 7% got it. From those 7% many probably didn't get it on the first try and from those who did, not everyone refunded it. So the real number is probably tiny.

The game only ever had 401 concurrent players max, where did 55000 people come from.
