Steam Refund was a mistake! Its fucking destroying games.
>"Garry Newman of Facepunch Studios, developer of Rust, reported on Twitter today that the 329,970 copies of the Early Access survival game have been refunded on Steam. According to Newman (in another tweet), that comes to around 6% of all copies sold. (Extrapolating from that, it appears Steamspy's estimation of 5,509,983 Rust owners is pretty close to the mark.) In terms of dollars, those refunds total an eyebrow raising $4.3 million USD."
>"I asked Newman via Twitter what the most common reason given for requesting a refund was, and he replied "Not fun followed by bad performance - which is pretty fair I think.""

If you don't want your game to be refunded, wait until it's finished before you release it numbskull.
Maybe try making actually good and functioning games then.
>Early Access survival game
>>382251848
Yes, and? This is literally nothing new. Shit games get refunded. This also doesn't account for all the keys (since those aren't sold copies.)
>>382251848
Don't make shit games and people won't refund.

*Early Acess was a mistake
ftfy

This. This is some corporations crying about having to be more eco friendly tier when the game has sold millions upon millions.
>dev says it's pretty fair
>OP makes a shitpost

It's a non-issue, alot of people wouldn't buy it without refunds, these people only played less than 2 hours in under 14 days.
It's not like anybody got a free game.
>>382251848
I mean they made between 30-75 million dollars, at the very least. 4.3 million refunded is not a big deal.
>>382251848
The best part if the game ever comes out a fuckload of people will refund it just like KF2
All these games that go in early access for literally years can go fuck themselves desu.
Facepunch confirmed bro developers.
Other indie devs:
>WAAA, THEY REFUNDED OUR "ART"!!! WAA!!!
Facepunch:
>They refunded the game for a valid reason, and we should work on improving the game so that they don't feel the need to refund.
>first piracy was lost sales
>now refunds are lost sales
>in an age when demos have become a very rare thing
Are you this entitled to think that just because you have made an unfinished pile of shit and put it in a stand to sale do you assume the passers-bys looking at your shit lost customers?
>Inb4 shit analogy
Are they fucking self aware or they have already gone too far up their asses?
Garry made a post about refunds a while ago. About how many refunded users likely wouldn't have even tried the game if it wasn't a feature. Also that he doesn't like working on Rust and thinks there isn't anywhere for the game to go in the future.
So he is mad that people hate his shit game and wanted their money back for less than 2 hours gameplay?

did you even read the op before replying
>>382251848
wait can I still refund it? I got 21h on it.
>>382253863
As I said, he is buttmad.
Why would he cry about it on twitter? If he doesn't care.
>>382253602
Dude...youre stupid LMAO
he even says he thinks it's fair. and it's only 6% of all sales, not like it makes a huge difference
>>382251848
He has no issue and is happy. An amount is relative. What people care about is percentage
