    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.

      I spent less than a quid for a game that only took 15 minutes. I never considered that I needed to refund it. If it was fun, it was worth the money.

      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.

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

          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
