The recent refund policy of Steam is a conscience for players. As long as the game time does not exceed 2 hours, players can be refunded within 2 weeks after purchasing.But on the other hand, some game developers, especially some independent games.

Today, Qwiboo, the developer of "Beyond Gravity", released some charts, showing the trend of their game sales after Steam's new regulations.

"Beyond Gravity" is a platform game generated by a program. This game is priced at $ 1.99 on STEAM and the release time is almost 9 months. Before the new regulations were introduced, the work still received a lot of praise on STEAM.of.However, when the Steam's new rules were launched, the sales of the work on STEAM were almost "sluggish" and sales continued to decline.

Qwiboo said that in the past 3 days, 13 people who sold the 18 games have reached 13, accounting for 72%of the total sales.This situation is rare before.

Qwiboo said they did not oppose the refund, but this 2 hours was a bit too long for them. Many players seized this abuse.3A games with 10-20 hours of games may not be affected too much, but this is a devastating blow for independent games.Qwiboo is not the only game affected by the new regulations of Steam. Another independent game developer Puppygames also released a similar sales trend chart.

I don't know if Valve will adjust the new refund policy after seeing this, but at this stage, players basically enjoy these independent games for free.

The view of foreign media is that Steam should classify the time for games of different prices.For example, the game refund game with a price of $ 2 cannot exceed 20 minutes, the 30 US dollars cannot exceed 1 hour, and the 60 US dollars cannot exceed 2 hours.

What do you think about the new policy of Steam refund?
