    Maybe not in this particular case: but what if you buy a game intending to get 10 hours out of it and after 1h you get greeted by the final credits. Shouldn’t you not be able to refund then? (Depending on the price of course.)

      That’s the thing they always tell you. It isn’t a mobile platform, people are prepared to pay higher prices but you need to set expectations with those prices.

      If you’re charging $15 for a game people are going to expect at least 10ish hours of gameplay, if it’s going to be under that you want to be sub $10.

      Although having said that I think I only paid £12 for Minecraft (about $15) and I’m probably thousands and thousands of hours into that.

      I tried Buckshot Roulette on gamepass last night. That would 100% be getting refunded if it was anything more than 50p.

        You’re supposed to escape. And then get the white telephone. That takes many hours.

      id feel like i got fuckin ripped off if it was an hour long, this isn’t a complicated game and even with the low price id refund it. then again id never buy this game in the first place cuz i already hold that view point.
