      Covic said the tweet that started all of this was something of a misstatement: The 20% refund rate on Paddle Paddle Paddle is actually pretty normal for a “rage game”

      So the dev is just whining on social media then because they’re an entitled prick.

        Doubling down on the idiocy I see. You could have avoided see me like a prick for the second time if you would just read the the whole article rather than cherry picking a bit of it that reinforces whatever random point it is you’re trying to make.

        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.”

        Which I think is fair enough.

          They claimed this is their stance, yet they’re calling on Valve to update their refund policy to not make it possible. That doesn’t add up.

          see me like a prick

          Ironic
