Mateo Covic said his 'rage game' is actually doing quite well on Steam, and its refund rate is normal—but that wasn't his point.

    How about all the people who bought it without even playing? This is a even larger number than the refunders.

    This indie dev made a hit game that sold pretty well btw.

      What about that? If they bought it, but haven’t played it, yet, should they not have to pay for for it?

      Or does that somehow make people buying an indie game and bragging about having fun completing the game, then refunding it afterwards, look better?

      Developer Mateo Covic, who went viral for complaining that thousands of people had refunded his game after finishing it in less than two hours, says 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.”
