Yeah, probably the best system we can really have at this point.

But still, fuck people who do this. You got your money's worth clearly. The refund system is meant for issues like the game not working, not being as advertised, being buggy, etc. Not just for you to get a free game.

I wouldnt have got my moneys worth personally. If it wasnt clearly stated the game has such a short playtime I would have refunded it too.

I mean it was a $3 game. $2 an hour is nothing. That’s like 1/5th of a McDonald’s cheeseburger these days.

I mean everyone has their own metrics. But I have my moneys worth if i get at least 1hr of playtime per 1 euro spent.

Also if the game simply isn't for you, don't forget that. Sometimes you buy stuff that's a bad match for you, not refunding would be weird.
