One person developer Emika Games recently announced that they were stepping away from game development because of an overabundance of Steam refund requests for their games, which are considered very good but are generally less than 2 hours long and within Steam's refund window. This has stoked the typically outraged response from the games press, as well as gamers who believe they have a right to these refunds, even if they liked the games enough to leave positive reviews. Both of these sides are wrong and I discuss why.
