But some minimum quality control is a good thing. Having things that work isn't some sort of oppressive censorship.
If you want to sell something that is in the development phase, I fully demand folks be upfront about it. If It isn't obvious from the description, you no longer have a honest, open market - you have something built to defraud me. Especially if you have a return and support policy tha seems complicated on purpose to deter refunds.
This really isn't about a "bad" game. I'm fine with a game that I simply don't like. I'm fully irritated when the controls make things nearly impossible. I'm irritated when the story doesn't make sense and seems like clips from other games (hello, Alone in the Dark for the Wii, you have all this). At least that last game is, technically, finishable, but the truth is it also hits the line between passable and not.
And some of the games? They don't even score that highly. This is what folks complain about. Not because steam let them buy a bad game, but because some of these aren't games. They aren't well-labeled enough, and so on and so forth. Then on top of that they have this horrible customer service that disallows refunds.
- exodust 10y agoYou seem to be complaining for the sake of complaining? Steam allows refunds now. They have for quite some time. They also clearly label early access games. They have for some time. They also offer many different ways to unleash your dislike on a game for all to see, via their forums or reviews. You can even comment on reviews, or rate reviews. You can watch videos of games you're not sure about. You have the tools and information at hand to make an informed decision about the games you download on Steam. Be honest, you don't really have anything to complain about do you?
