Why is steam refund bs only 2 hours?

[Afraidanna]

I played a game for 6 hours and still got it refunded. Mostly because 5 of those hours were just me idleing

If you played it for "quite a while" then why should you get your money back. People could just buy a game, play the story, then refund it, that's bs

that doesn't really apply to terraria

The second part, sure
But the first part still applies

You can't rate a game with only 2 hours of playtime
If you can you're a horrible person.
Imo they should extend to 24 hours.

Um, how about no

[HULKHOGANWWFWORLDCHAMPION]

I have around 130 mins in black ops 2 but there's nobody to play it so im going to try refund it

Edit: nvm got it from kinguin im sure so it wont work

It's funny how CS:GO only recently implemented a system to ensure you won't be able to see the real part of the game within two hours. Real smart thinkin, Valve.
I can't think of many games at all that you can really judge after only two hours, maybe some generic multiplayer only games?

2 hours in half life gameplay terms is
beginning of the game to ravenholm

to me those two hours felt like a forget ton of hours. somehow it's not though, so i think 2 hours is enough.

quite a while being about a day
if you're just hanging with friends, there's not much you can accomplish in that time
as far as i know
because i didn't play it very much. and i don't want to

why would you play a game you don't like for more than 2 hours solely because it has a lot of content

[McJob]

Any good game gives you a good taste within 10 minutes. That's one of the golden rules of game design. 2 hours is MORE than enough.

[sir dooble]

I have to agree. You might not see all content in 2 hours, but you should get enough of a feel to know if you're liking it or not.
I can't think of many games I've played where it took me 2+ hours to decide if I wanted to play it.

At most there should be a partial refund for a game played over 2 hours (to a limit), and that's still quite generous.

[Maui69]

if you actually bothered to play a game for 24 hours i don't see why you'd deserve to get your money back
i mean if you actually bothered, you probably got your money's worth
unless you're some kind of forgetin masochist

[Otis Da HousKat]

Damn kids want everything for nothing.

[Refticus]

2 hours is fine.
if you disliked the game, you wouldn't of either brought the game or played it for 2 hours

otherwise, espio being a cheap bastard after he blew his money on "beer" which was actually rancid rat piss
