    I guess they didn’t expect people to be such freeloading assholes to play their game in full and then take back their money.

    Have they even given evidence that their game is significantly more refunded than any other game? Or did they see X amount of people refunding the game and declaring that they must have done it because they’re evil?

        Covic said the tweet that started all of this was something of a misstatement: The 20% refund rate on Paddle Paddle Paddle is actually pretty normal for a “rage game”

        So the dev is just whining on social media then because they’re an entitled prick.

          Doubling down on the idiocy I see. You could have avoided see me like a prick for the second time if you would just read the the whole article rather than cherry picking a bit of it that reinforces whatever random point it is you’re trying to make.

          he’s not actually unhappy about the number of refunds or money he lost, or even Steam’s policy in general—he was merely expressing frustration with players who “bragged about having a fun time with the game and refunding it after completion.”

          Which I think is fair enough.

      Well, yea. Giving great reviews and then refunding, as one example.

      As if a good review alone was payment enough
