Refunds are far more damaging to the developer/publisher than piracy.

Piracy doesn't cost anything. Sure you could try to argue that they lose sales because of piracy, but technically there's literally not a single difference (for the devs/publisher anyway) between pirating a game and never playing it at all. In both cases there's simply no sale. Refunds are damaging because they're not free. At the very least, there's an administrative cost to returning the money to the customer, which means that it's objectively worse than not getting any money in the first place. They're actively losing money, after all.

Still, I think refunds are an important consumer right and that, if you make a game that people want to refund after playing it for one hour, you deserve do deal with the consequences. This unfortunately means that short but good games might get unfairly penalized, but when the only alternatives are to either have no refunds at all or to have some sort of artificial gatekeeping system about when you deserve a refund, I think that's a small price to pay.

And considering that there are many shitty indie devs who make low-effort games in the knowledge that some morons will still buy them, to unload them in shitty indie bundles, or even to passively make money off autists collecting Steam cards (a problem Valve has already acknowledged), I definitely think it's important to send a message, whether directly or (through refunds) indirectly, that being a shitter and exploiting the system isn't without risks.

>>378417113
>Do developers need protection
No. I can think of plenty of times consumers needed protection from shit developers.

I can only think of niche indie games that blamed the games failure on "fake returns".

For the vast majority of people its not worth the effort to rush through a game to beat it in under 2 hours and get a refund.
Only a handful of young kids who have the free time and think beating games is more important then enjoying them will actually go through the trouble.

It's extremely profitable for a company to lie about a games content or release it broken.
It's not worth the time or trouble of most people to scam the system for a $10 game.

Consumers need protection, not developers.

I've only refunded one shitty port on steam a year ago, I don't bother with terrible $2 game anyway.

I have done that to a few games, one that comes to mind was that indieshit one about game development or something and was like 15 euro.

I refunded that shit and will always do it to similar games that don't last 2 hours. No, shitty indie developers do not need protection, steam needs to hit them harder and stop allowing them to release shit games like this.

If you want to beat the game with every character, it will definitely take longer.

Besides, the game doesn't have to be longer than even an hour. You will want to keep a short game which is actually good to play it more.

The only reason you want to return a game after you finished it once if it has no replayability, which is true for most indie trash.

That's a garbage comparison considering most mobile games are free, or at least "freemium" to give you plenty of time to try the game before deciding whether it's worth anything.

Pinout is a pinball style game where the goal is to keep going up before the time runs out, not just try to maximize score on a normal table.

>>378423724
pretty much. Like I said, it was pretty much a rental service, to see if the games even worked for me. Started with stardew valley, actually. For some reason it doesn't detect my GPU and refuses to launch because of it, saying it won't support the proper shaders. I refunded it, then realized I could try a bunch of games and see if they worked, that i'd been on the fence for. So I did, and I bought a lot of games, but refunded way more because they ran like shit, had no content, or just plain weren't fun/clickbaited me.

>b-but an uninformed first playthrough is going to take longer
You're supposed to read guys and watch youtube playthroughs so you know what to expect. Also skip all cutscenes since you've seen them on yt. Then you can push most games under 2h on your first play.
If it still takes more than 2 hours, you back up the save files, refund the game, buy it on a second steam account and copy your saves. Then finish the game on the second account and refund it again.

It is perfectly fine as it is. Short games can be good games, that you are still going to keep. That's because they're good, and you will want to play them again even though you "completed" them

good games have a certain replayability that makes you want to keep them even if they're short, because it's fun to play and it's rewarding to play it more than once. Examples would be FTL or Starfox 64

if your game is however finished in less than two hours and you will have no real reason to boot it up again and there's no gameplay and can just literally be completed by walking through it, because it's as shallow and simple that it could be recreated in its entirety as a fucking Doom 2 .wad like the fucking Gone Home was, then by all means you deserve to get every bad criticism you got and everybody should be allowed to refund your game

and back then no one gave a fuck about "story" unless they had aspergers. They played head-to-head. Same now, just more convenient.

I played through and kept Homefront: Revolution, so if I refund your game you'd better believe it's fucking irredeemably shit.

That said I buy almost nothing through Steam and 90% of my library is keys that I've bought from somewhere else, so refunds don't often come up.

No one gives a shit about refunding shitty indie games. It's the same guy who has been making these threads for months now.
>>
>>378417113
It's on the developer to make a game that a person won't want to refund. Of course, there are complete faggots that will refund a game no matter how good it is, or just want everything for free, like you, OP. The problem is that shitty developers are claiming that those people are the norm.

I pirate movies and TV shows far more than I do games.
I never even go to the cinema by choice it's much more enjoyable to watch them in the comfort of my living room.

All those quotes are real btw, just amuses me that these LA retards live in a bubble where their time and money is measured in lattes.

They go to one of the most expensive cities in the world to become "game developers" and then make indie shovelware that nobody wants to buy, then find a way to blame everyone else when they're living out of their car and they can't afford Starbucks.

I don't drink lattes and I can buy a real game made by competent developers for the same price.
Looking at CDkeys right now for the price of a latte I could buy:
Half Life
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Mortak Kombat Komplete
Just Cause 2
Rayman Origins
Shadow of Mordor
Mad Max
Borderlands
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
Arkham City
Resident Evil 5

Oh but I should feel like "slapped together indie game #2564583" is a good deal and I should give it a pass because it's cheap?

When I can pay $10 to watch a movie immediately upon release in the comfort of my home, in the format that I choose, then I'll start paying for movies.
As it stands Hollywood is pretending a distribution problem doesn't exist rather than adapt to the digital economy as all other forms of media are doing. Services like Steam, Audible and Bandcamp make a killing by serving as middlemen and distributing media in ways that are cheaper and more convenient for the end user. Movie companies won't do it, because they're fucking fossils and they think they have enough pull to dictate how people consume their products. As a result Hollywood is hemorrhaging money and has been surpassed by the videogame industry, and they're having to slash profit estimates because nobody is going to the cinema anymore.
They're killing their own business by refusing to evolve, and then they blame "millennials" for not driving to the movies at 10pm on a weekday to pay $15 for a movie that they get to watch once in unfavorable conditions, rather than staying at home and watching Netflix.

Movie theaters only keep like 10% of the money from ticket sales, the rest goes to Hollyjew. So yeah the overpriced popcorn and soda is where they make all their money.

t. worked at a movie theater for a while

If you played it less than 2 hours you played it less than 2 hours.

It's pretty reasonable really, it's not long at all. If you complete the game and there is no replay value then that's their fault.

i solved her story in less than 2 hours and refunded it.

not at all worth the money.

Faggots will always try to cheat the system, but refunds are a good thing to have.

Also, Steam is full of shmups and other short arcade-style games that you can literally beat in 30 minutes or even less, but I don't see those devs complaining about shitty refunds. If the game's any good the majority of people are going to keep it regardless.
