Actually because I was curious, I looked the refund policy up and apparently I can refund it. Think I'm going to make sure I got it from steam and for how much and see if they'll process it.

I've never launched the fucking thing, just thought because the transaction was so old I couldn't, but they never actually fully released the game.

REFUNDS ON TITLES PURCHASED PRIOR TO RELEASE DATE​

When you purchase a title on Steam prior to the release date, the two-hour playtime limit for refunds will apply (except for beta testing), but the 14-day period for refunds will not start until the release date. For example, if you purchase a game that is in Early Access or Advanced Access, any playtime will count against the two-hour refund limit. If you pre-purchase a title which is not playable prior to the release date, you can request a refund at any time prior to release of that title, and the standard 14-day/two-hour refund period will apply starting on the game’s release date.

Thanks for this, I have less than an hour of playtime so I just submitted a refund request. I bought the game in 2020 so I will be curious to see if it goes through.

If I was the Stoneshard dev I would seriously just give up and make the game free-to-play and open-source so that the mod community can go wild with it. That would take a lot of the sting out of the game being abandoned unfinished and who knows what could be possible if the right autists gets hold of it.

Anything is better than continuing to slog away for years of your life making infinitesimal progress while trying to placate an increasingly frustrated player base and destroying what little bit of reputation and goodwill you have left.

Refund was denied, citing the 14-day rule.

I'm not surprised... after reading the policy again what they are actually referring to here is pre-orders. So even if you pre-order months in advance, the 14-day rule doesn't kick in until the game is actually out. "Release date" means when the game is first available on the platform as a playable title, not 1.0 release. And the 2-hour rule applies to all playtime, regardless of whether it's EA or 1.0 release.

I see the thread bumped and I think "Surely they have released an update for the game".

Good to know about EA games. This confirms the better move is to always wait for the 1.0 release. (Some games never really "get out" of EA, so those may be the exception.)
