    they’re not supposed to be fun for everyone

    This is why it should be even easier for consumers to return games. Playing a game and deciding it’s not for you is one thing. Playing a game and realizing you just flushed $70 down the toilet is infuriating.

    Let’s turn, “I deserve to get my money’s worth” into “I deserve to get my money back.”

        Not if the game wastes your time between boss attempts before you realise you’re not having fun anymore but that your return window has now expired

            Yeah they’re not great when it comes to some stuff for returns.

            Last year I bought Assassins Creed 1 and 2 on sale. I played through 1 first, had a lovely time, then went to 2 and noticed some annoying graphical issues. Things that seemingly can’t be fixed after I tried with various mods and patches.

            I had only played it for 30 minutes so i tried to get a refund and they declined me because I had bought it so long ago, even though I argued that the game was technically too broken for me to play.

            I had to just suck it up and just play it on the PS4 with the Ezio Collection.

      Yeah, it should be based on playtime though there’s probably a reason why it isn’t. There are times were I’d have a game in my library that I only get to many months after purchase only to find out its not what I was expecting.
