  I guess they didn’t expect people to be such freeloading assholes to play their game in full and then take back their money.

  That kind of dumb people are why we have to deal with huge exploitative game companies instead of having more indie devs

    Have they even given evidence that their game is significantly more refunded than any other game? Or did they see X amount of people refunding the game and declaring that they must have done it because they’re evil?

      Well, yea. Giving great reviews and then refunding, as one example.

      As if a good review alone was reward enough

        Ah, yes, of course isolated examples are indicative of an endemic issue /s

        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.
