5 bucks for two whole hours of entertainment? Seems like a steal

For a lot of people there needs to be a certain amount of perceived value per dollar. The article said the game is $5 full price. If I spent $5 and beat it in under 2 hours, I’d refund it too.

Cheaper than a movie!

This is like ordering a steak, eating it, then demanding a refund because it had too much gristle for your liking.

No. It is not at all like that. One is food the other is entertainment.

How is the principle different?
You paid for the product. You used the product. You didn’t dislike the product so much that you didn’t finish it. Seems pretty analogous to me.
Things being different doesn’t automatically make them incomparable, this is literally how all analogies work.

Okay it’s like watching a movie at the cinema and finishing it and then demanding a refund because it was only 2 hours.
No theater give refunds to people who have finished watching the entire movie.

As someone who used to work at a movie theater, you’d be surprised how many people ask for a refund after the movie’s over

If it’s good enough that I finished it I’m gonna let the creator keep the money (and pay close attention to the reviews next time, because I agree that less than 2 hours is a little short for that amount of entertainment) and make myself feel better by treating it like a donation to a good cause.
