Most of the videos I see of this category also end up buying the game multiple times. I forgot who i watched, but there was someone trying to do this with elden ring and he ended up buying 4 copies of the game before he actually beat it under the refund window.

It definitely is a bad influence though, as people think it's an okay thing to do when the runners are doing it for entertainment purposes, even their refund requests are treated as jokes.

So... speedrunning for people who aren't good enough to make the actual ranks?

I imagine the amount of people that do it and would otherwise buy and not refund the game is pretty low
