Refund

[demi]

can I still gate this game refunded ? I mean its alfa for years now.

Nope, you've played more than 2 hours. Suck it up. Oh, you did read the disclaimers right? about being in Alpha and such right? Not like you could have possibly missed it...

You won't get a refund for water being wet either, just figured I'd save you needing to ask.

Not likely.

You have gone a couple of hours over the stated game time as defined by Steam.

[Oleg Mongol]

Nope. You aren't entitled to a refund just because a game is in Alpha for two years, which is actually quite a reasonable time for a game of DayZ's scale.

I've did ineed gone many hours over the limit, I am aware of the disclaimer ( sarcastic or not ), and yet I still ask because this game is Alpha for ages now. Like, years.

Hi this coffee I got from you 3 days ago is cold, can I get a refund, this seems unacceptable to me.

DayZ Mod, was officially released on February 21, 2013. Tad more than 2 years kind sir. Is it still reasonable? When will it not be reasonable anymore?

Hi, thanks for brewing this coffe for me - it's a bit cold now after 3 years and was just as cold when you gave it to me so can I have my money back? What? It's still brewing? Oh..

No comment.

He probably thinks that Rocket is still the lead dev.

I stand corrected - it was released December 16, 2013 (early alpha). That makes it 2 years..how?

Well... That was the mod, and not the standalone, so shift that date to december of 2013, the start of the actual games development (or the first public alpha version was sold).

It's nearing 3 years fast enough, which was their projected devlopment time when they started, with delays that could be pushed as late as 5 or 6 years and stay within reasonable game development expectations, if the company was happy to continue paying developers to work on it.

6 years is reasonable for alpha? Seriously?

I meant the whole game's development lasting 5 or 6 years in total would not be unheard of at all.
