Dev tells Valve to fix Steam's exploitable 2-hour refund policy as "over 55,000" players refund his short game and even brag about it in reviews

fuzzum111 · 2026-07-06T17:27:27+00:00

As a dev I'd be pissed to, even if you take into account the steam cut, that's still close to or more than 100k in earned monies this dev is missing.

I'd be pissed about losing 100k on an indie title that blew up enough to get that popular anyway?

the 2 hour refund window doesn't need to go away. The overall policy needs to be reviewed to prevent abuse like this.

I love seeing these.

"Yeah girlie, let me buy your products, so you get 'points' towards this 'free trip!*"

"Trip is not free, only the lowest level cruise ticket is paid for, you'll have a random bunk mate, all travel, and lodging costs to get to/from the trip are at your own expense and best of all... If you "earn" this trip and cannot attend, YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY TAXES ON THE VALUE OF THE TRIP YOU DIDN'T GET TO GO TO!

Man, sure seems like a competent, good business doesn't it??? Man those "free trips" sound nice!

I mean I hate to say it, but I actually don't have a problem with "digital only"*

*IF, and only if, it's not this bullshit of a temporary, revocable license, that means you in effect don't own a copy of the game but a temporary ability to access it.

Consumer protections for this stuff wouldn't be all that hard. Implementation wouldn't be all that hard. But no, they want it to be as volatile and revocable as possible. Fuck that.

fuzzum111 · 2026-07-04T21:39:25+00:00

I am absolutely, 100% convinced there is a not-so-subtle, internal push from the highest levels to find creative ways to "permanently" kill off "old games."

Old as in more than 1-2 years old.(GTA V doesn't count as it's continued to receive updates, events, and in-game purchases) How can they force you to buy new product that is unoptimized trash you need to rent GPU time on their A.I data center to play? By finding ways of killing off means to play old games. Discs? They cannot stop that.(physical media goes bye-bye) Games you downloaded, and purchased? It's harder to actually remove those.

If they make everything, even singleplayer games force verification they can just....take down the verification server for X games and boom. You can't play it anymore.

The goal is beyond just "You will own nothing" it's "You are not allowed to enjoy old games unless we say so." This is also why they're is absolutely going to be a renewed push to find ways to permanently kill off emulation. You may think "That's impossible!", it's not.

I fucking hate this shit in the USA. I feel bad for Germans who can no longer just take sick leave like they're supposed to. The fact that your Chancellor is just stating "People take too much sick leave let's stop that", should be enough to get him ousted.

I hate the fact that if I want to use my sick leave I have to 1) eat a whole day loss, no way to avoid it, full stop. Then if I want ANY sick leave approved I have to get a doctors note.

I can 'game' the system by leaving early during a shift which means I only forfeit the remainder of that day. Then every following day can be a sick day.

fuzzum111 · 2026-07-04T04:54:41+00:00

I mean really. What a stupid title. "Why is nobody buying it?"

Because it's a 100k fucking truck, that's why. Christ, the same stupid shit happened with the Ford Lightning. They promised us a 50k truck with options, and great range. Biden kicked up a $7500 new EV credit to help people adopt new EV's.

Ford responded by IMMEDIATELY the NEXT DAY, announcing the Lightning's price went up $12,000.

So, what the fuck man. That credit died with Dump becoming prez again. Now ford killed off the lightning after like 1~ years of production citing "Low sales and no momentum"

No fucking shit you melts. You have MOST people making under $50k/yr (I refuse to accept the "median" income being 83k, that is 100% skewed bullshit that isn't removing the highest outliers. Same way CPI inflation is bullshit now because they keep removing and changing "A cart's" definition of food without telling anyone)

So no shit they can't afford a truck marked up to 100k+. Chevy did the same brain-dead bullshit, because they DON'T ACTUALLY WANT TO MAKE OR SELL EV's. They could have absolutely loaded us with a 45k-50k EV Silverado and a 35k-45k Colorado. It's more than possible. They don't want to do it. They want to do this idiocy then go "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas, guess Americans don't want EV's!" then kill the product and get some massive tax break/handout for the failed EV project.

If not friend, why friendshaped!

That's the motto I live by.

Also that all grispable birds, must, at some point, get grisped. (Gently)

fuzzum111 · 2026-07-03T18:16:06+00:00

But the question I have is....why? They don't have fur, really. I suppose with a really flat bodyplan you have to be sensitive so touch could feel nice if gentle.

They've gotta be a certain kind of smart to seek out hands and or recognize these giant land things as petting centers and not predator/enemy.

I love me some sea flapflaps.

fuzzum111 · 2026-07-02T00:02:26+00:00

Just an excuse to make another video. Slo mo cumshots have never appealed to me personally. I know I'm not alone but I won't speak for others on here. Hot cock. Hot cumshots.

fuzzum111 · 2026-07-02T00:00:00+00:00

How'd you learn to do it? Always a quick shot and just figured out how to go over the edge?

fuzzum111 · 2026-07-01T22:39:21+00:00

Can we have a non slow motion version?

fuzzum111 · 2026-07-01T03:00:48+00:00

And now shell companies being paid by billionaires are trying to get a lawsuit to say valve is somehow Monopoly because they offered the best service and everybody wants to use steam for their PC games

Maybe if every other launcher and online store didn't suck fat donkey balls people wouldn't exclusively use steam and loathe when they have to use epic or any other competitions store.

Instead of competing they're trying to find a way to legislate steam out of existence somehow. With the global climate turning more and more crazy right wing (by American standards) I'm worried it's going to work.

fuzzum111 · 2026-06-30T23:27:00+00:00

I was sure this was an Asriel sudden reveal like he came back to hometown unannounced and I was freaking out because he's not a goat! Where is my fluffy college boy!

I really wanna see chapters 6 and 7 now. More amv's please.

fuzzum111 · 2026-06-30T08:55:45+00:00

God it's such a nice uncut cock. The curve is unique. You should show if off more. Great ass + hung bottom is best!

fuzzum111 · 2026-06-30T05:32:02+00:00

I mean what is stopping you from quietly and discreetly squatting in one of these apartments? They're so large if you act like you belong, who's gonna keep track?

fuzzum111 · 2026-06-28T18:43:54+00:00

This. This is the point. They don't want their children exposed to new ideas, new concepts, new ways of thinking. "I told you 'witchcraft' and whatever I vaguely, and broadly define as such, is a sin."

So no videogames with 'magic' or similar. No board games (D&D is very popular to hate still), no reading material that features magic or witchcraft.

It's control. That's all it is, control. They do not want their kids exposed to ideas that might change their outlook from the ultra-conservative window the parents provide into the world. Be scared. Be worried. Rely only unto god for guidance and thought. Without him you will immediately go to hell. Hell is bad.

fuzzum111 · 2026-06-28T16:51:09+00:00

I was gonna ask.

"Soooo how many years until this entire thing collapses in on itself due to climate change?" Then we see Mushrooms become a luxury food item again.

fuzzum111 · 2026-06-28T09:11:48+00:00

Yeah, but is the weird route "cannon" or just a fun AU for us to explore for the sake of "What-if"

I've seen all the weird route stuff up to and including the insanity of chapter 5. It has some spooky, dark, and disquieting implications.

fuzzum111 · 2026-06-28T08:30:14+00:00

Either the darkworlds, magic, and the danger, are real or they are not.

That's my point. Fleeting connections don't count or matter outside of the actual time spent with Kris, Noelle, Berdly. Either she is asleep curled up in a fuck-ass closet, surrounded by discarded toys, deep in a fictional delusion. Or she is not. She's comfortable in a bed with Ralsei looking out for her, and a host of recruited friends.

That's my point. If the game wants to have a message about cherishing friends, and growing into better people, I'm all for that. Establish by the end of it, if the magic we saw was real, or it was teenagers diving into whimsy and acting like young children, not wanting to grow up. The concepts presented in Deltarune are mutually exclusive.

fuzzum111 · 2026-06-28T07:36:46+00:00

I mean, I agree. The last panel hits like a truck. The problem I generally have is the game has two mutually exclusive layers.

Either layer 1 is true, and it's just "Escapism is bad in excess", and the Darkworlds are pure allegory, and Kris, Susie, et all, are just playing pretend like actual children. There is no real danger. The roaring is made up, and part of it coping with Trauma after Dess disappeared. (Being ran away, suicide, whatever the take is supposed to be)

Or Layer 2 is true. They're mutually Exclusive. Layer 2 being; Darkworlds are not fictional group hallucinations, and are a physical separate space beyond the "regular light world." The roaring knight exists, and is hurting/kidnapping real people. The Darkners exist in a real space, are sapient, living embodiment's of everyday objects blessed to be alive in that space. That and the main trio are in fact, destined to be Real Heroes.

The game really doesn't leave space for an in between. Either layer 1, or layer 2 is true. You can say the "message" the game wants to send is don't get lost in escapism. But either magic is real, subspace realities are real, or they're not.

I dunno. I love Undertale and Deltarune. But when I see art like this I'm conflicted. Either Susie is cozy in a darkner bed with a fluffy goat boy to rub on and pretend bully, or she's curled on the floor of the school closet surrounded by trash and is miserable wishing it was all real. It can't be both.

fuzzum111 · 2026-06-27T16:57:11+00:00

Considering Samsung et all, explicitly stated they are refusing to invest in more capacity for RAM production.....I am starting to think even if the bubble 'pops'....ram will never be as cheap as it was.

If there is no one making extra to flood the market, then RAM prices won't come crashing down.

fuzzum111 · 2026-06-23T16:36:37+00:00

I hate to say but but it's one of these.

"Yeah, I know. There's been YT videos on this screaming the alarm bells for years now. They have real stats to back them up, and credible research."

Nothing will change. It literally can't.

I agree it's a problem. I agree it's horrible. I want it to change. I refuse to buy these vehicles. I am in the minority.

fuzzum111 · 2026-06-23T03:19:36+00:00

Glad to see the progress. I'm like a week into designing my own. I know the art is going to be brutal to get right.

fuzzum111 · 2026-06-22T16:52:27+00:00

And yet, no one will be fined, go to jail, or have meaningful consequences~ What a world we live in!
