And for me not one of my 6 references, MacGamestore, HumbleStore, Gog, GamersGate, Mac App Store, Steam (where I intent never buy them again any game directly) but not Desura.

I know Desura do that long before Steam, but Desura is a very special shop/platform. So it's logical to attempt not let a monopoly to Steam.
MACGAMESTORE REFUND FULL
A good EA/In Dev game has often a rather full gameplay that could allow decide if the game is for you or not.įor all three, Steam is an obvious problem with no clear solution, and EA generates a significant activity in Steam. So why I'd be interested, to give a chance to games I'd ignore until a very low sale if ever. And if there's a refund it's not refunded directly but through credits so no real expense, more or less.įor the dev point of view particularly the first dev there's a clear bet done.įor myself it's low interest system because I very rarely buy EA games and feel tedious/frustrating try contribute to dev of a game. How I bet it is it's gog doesn't register the final sell yet and don't pay the dev until the 15 days are over and the no question refund can't be applied anymore. They may be wrong but for the moment that is their offer and taking them up on it - nothing wrong with that. GOG and the devs think that offering a generous refund is the best for letting consumers participating in early access. Trilarion: I assure you you'll never get a crap warning email. Abusing the whole system (never intending to keep any of the games) is a bit different, but they cannot tell the difference, so as long as only a minority does it, it may still pay off for them in total. Of course that hurts.īut they decided to go this way so it's okay. It means you don't think the game is good and that you want to spent your money elsewhere.

So this generous "no question asked" refund policy might not be here forever.Īnd hurting GOG/devs in any way: Sure asking for a refund hurts them (both). If I were GOG and I saw people abusing this feature I would just at some point cancel this policy. So either you trust them, then everything is good, or you do not trust them. I assure you you'll never get a crap warning email.Īctually I cannot do that. So the second point is a real problem if Gog doesn't manage a system like Wallet/Blue points. Not even get a crap warning email about that despite the policy shown in front page (as Steam does). Have troubles with Gog because of asking too many refunds. I understand Gog is trying a new approach but I don't want : You're wise to ask these questions before buying and/or downloading!Senestoj: I quoted the no‑questions‑asked refunds in 15 days for in dev games, but I already had troubles with Steam with a similar system and still have to buy another game on Steam since (still buy keys on other shops). try asking them publicly through one of those media. Unfortunately, I can't find any contact info in any obvious places on their site, but they have a Facebook page and Twitter handle. Try posing that question to the company directly (in a non-confrontational way, since there are legit reasons for that sort of thing). Bioshock 2 is actually cheaper in the App Store than through the developer's own web site, or at least it was when I bought it. Perhaps the developer increases the price on the App Store to cover Apple's fees? But perhaps not. On the MyWoT page for that site (which is pretty good), there's a comment from one user that claims the site is distributing malware, but the reasons given are crap.Īll that said, keep in mind that old standby: "If it's too good to be true, it probably is." Ask yourself why some of their games are cheaper than the same games on the Mac App Store. There could be any number of inaccurate reasons for a particular individual to call the site a scam. That appears to be a single report posted on that site by an anonymous user, and should not be taken as an official report of any kind. I wouldn't be too quick to assume that the report that shldr2thewheel posted is accurate. Why is this? Is it actually any good? Thanks. I recently discovered a website called that has many games featured on the Mac App Store, but some much cheaper.
