Can I 100% Superliminal and Get a Refund?

[@SirGronfleton]

Refund Reason: the puzzles are suppose to break me, not the other way around FOR THOSE WHO ARE ANNOYED BY ME REFUNDING THE GAME: I just want to clear something up for those who are upset about me refunding the game and feel like it’s taking money away from the developer. I get where you guys are coming from, but I already own a copy of this game, and I absolutely love it and it's extremely talented developers! Also, this video is actually going to make the game WAY more money than what I refunded it for. Even if just a couple of people decide to buy the game after watching this video, that can only be a win for the developers, this video is literally just free advertisement. Oh and it doesn't actually take money out of developer's pockets AT ALL after further research. Valve simply gives the money back to the person who refunded the game as if the purchase was never even made in the first place. Valve holds all of the money made by the game until the developers get their monthly payment, so no the developers do not have to pay the consumers anything. Sources below: discussions.unity.com/t/steam-refunds-how-will-it-effect-an-indie/583281#:~:text=Understanding%20some%20fundamentals,for%20the%20sale. partner.steamgames.com/doc/finance/payments_salesreporting/faq#:~:text=Q.%20When%20can,the%20example%20above. Oh and one last thing, for anyone worried that this will encourage people to abuse Steam’s refund system in general, I don’t think that’s going to happen. - Watching a violent movie isn't going to make someone act violently in real life. - Watching a cooking show isn’t going to make you a professional chef overnight. - Watching a random guy on the internet do a refund speedrun isn't going to make people abuse the steam refund policy. I'm just trying to say that the people who abuse the refund system were already doing it, my actions really aren't going to change that by much. So, yeah, hope you guys understand, just tryna keep things positive 😅

When the puzzles arent puzzling

[@donniedip]

Me tearing up the puzzle after 124 hours of building it:

[@theliteralsodi]

no puzzles can break the gronf

[@raykkitsune]

Don't be discouraged if this video gets fewer views than Ultrakill's videos, it's a sudden change in content, but it doesn't mean it's bad content.

[@cassileate8662]

you should play Robo quest

[@darknessblades]

I can already see the devs add a new achievement called: Do nothing for 30 minutes. just to make refund-speedrunning harder

[@AntônioTheo-n3h]

he still would have 52 left

[@Discoseek]

That’s something the Stanley parable would do

[@asynchronousongs]

​@@Discoseekeagerly waiting until 2032 to finally get that achievement lol

[@FANOFPORTAL2]

About that

[@jake-se3ir]

The game stray actually has an achievement like that where you have to rest for 2 real time hours, so you can’t really get all achievements quick there

[@zixmarkiz92]

7:40 "son of man" is the name of a painting by Magritte with the apple in front of the face of a man.

[@auroraborealis4190]

id assume its an issac newton refference

CHILD OF MAN???

[@Andthis.]

When you said a vid was big I was NOT expecting this lol

[@Banu-Tatu_AlexandruBanu-Tatu]

For real😅

[@crimstrix]

7:40 That achievement is there cus it's a game about physics. Who discovered gravity? Isaac Newton.. how? An apple fell on his head. Just a sweet lil nod. Edit: with someone telling me in the comments , the achievement is a nod to a painting where a man's head is obscured by an apple. I'd say it fits the game even better.

[@GeneralSteinberg]

actually it didnt fell on his head

[@Imthefake]

@@GeneralSteinberg also he didn't discover gravity, people had been aware things fall down for a while

[@egew_not603]

@@Imthefake no shit

[@BeagleBytes]

@@Imthefake yeah he didnt discover it. he invented it

[@GeneralSteinberg]

@@BeagleBytes "inventing" is discovering.

[@Commander-Spiff]

If I ever make a game, I’m adding an achievement for playing for 2 hours just to screw with refund% speedrunners

[@17TheDeliverer]

that’s genius anyway I’m using that too

[@Helpik-358]

Thats just evil...

[@cottardTV]

well then it'll make 100% speedrun extremely annoying lowering the engagement for your game and costing you money instead of saving you money

[@Commander-Spiff]

@@cottardTV its not about the money batman its about sending a message

[@cottardTV]

@@Commander-Spiff Speedruning engagement is what makes your game live for decades, with this "message" you both loose money and kill your game long term, no matter how you see it that lil funny achievement is extremely detrimental to your game long term

[@Ami_the_little_thingie]

Yaaaaaay i love superliminal, the feelings of abndonment and breaking all the previous rules game teach you in the end gives the perfect horror experience. Didnt expect you to play it too. Glad youre doing stuff you want

[@manetkatherussianidioto]

I did NOT expect this quality from Gronf of all the small youtubers i know. In a good way. If this branching out is not hard for you, continue if you wish, I love seeing something LIKE THIS GOD DAMN.

[@ilexdiapason]

nice work! i don't really know why anyone gets mad at "can i get a refund" challenge videos - clearly the person making the video loves the game enough to get through it in under 2 hours, they definitely already own it lmao

[@sonnitude]

If I was a programmer, might be funny to make a game that’s all about keeping customer relationships high despite the “Absolutely no refunds” policy, and have an achievement called “Obey the policy. Gotta be a good example right?” For playing for more then 2 hours.

[@NimoClancy]

I do quite like the editing of this video. It’s stimulating enough to be entertaining, but not overbearing or obnoxious. It’s very good. :)

[@oofman6000]

I died every time he said "Dice" as the singular noun of "Die", and every time he said "Dices" was worth double

[@Randomyoutubermobile]

20:11 There’s no way sans not only made it to smash, but also to superliminal

[@Trufa2]

Great video, literally when you said a big video i didnt expect this level of quality, definetely kept it up

[@fireturtle917]

as someone who’s never played superliminal, i have absolutely no idea what of this is is glitches and what is intended

[@frag2]

cool to see you branch out with your videos, and even cooler to see its going well, pivoting channels can be hard. keep it up!!!

[@XiaoXiaoMan1123]

The wonkiness of that bouncy castle depends on your framerate. The higher the framerate, the more finicky it is. I had to cap my FPS at 50 just to do the challenge reliably. You have the patience of a saint for having the patience to brute force it, which is ironic for this kind of challenge. Well played.

[@lunaranz8765]

7:51 I absolutely love the inclusion of the Realm Overworld theme from Spirit Tracks in this section! It’s one of my favorite Zelda themes.

[@V1UltrakilI]

That's not me at 10:52, that's my identical twin V3

[@Funkycorgiz]

Love that youre branching out to more games!

[@Laser55.6]

This "100% and get a refund" type videos could become a great series outside of only ultrakill stuff

[@3DperspectiveJS]

When you have background music from Celeste, Portal and Sonic Mania, you know it's going to be a good video.

[@CandariaBlack]

Great Video. Not an Ultrakill Fan, but I hope to see you on my Recommended Page again with another banger like this. Also, greetings from germany

[@Ic3DskltN]

this is sick bro, not imagine a 100% run was possible in just about 1:30 hours and didnt even know the majority of the secrets. awesome video edition btw

[@Squaglefish]

The apple achievement is likely a eater egg about the apple falling on Isaac newton’s head (mind you this is just pure speculation) love the vid ❤

[@ShlokParab]

Grt the refund to donate to the devs for giving you an awesome two hours of fun.

[@TronLeBunny]

0:01 IS THAT V1 (the ultrakill brainrot is real)

Found you cuz of this video- I don’t really have much interest in what this channel was focused on prior, (never even heard of it, but might take a look) to be real I fw this content style, and honestly you could be big with this type of quality bro

I’d never thought I’d see a superliminal video in 2025 but this is lowkey my favorite video game. The only game I’ve 100% completed except for Lego Batman 3

[@PossiblyAxolotl]

While I like the game and can appreciate the speedrun, as a game developer this feels really gross and exploitative of Steam’s refund policy

[@SirGronfleton]

Read the pinned comment for extra info. Hope you understand 😅

[@PossiblyAxolotl]

@@SirGronfletonI get your reasoning, though I worry that by actually showing yourself refunding the game it normalizes the act of doing so and sets an example that people will carry over to other games, which can be especially damaging to smaller developers. I fully understand playing it up for the title and I do respect that, but I do think the ending sets a poor example that reminds me of that one developer who quit game development indefinitely because they weren’t profiting off of their game due to being too short and therefore easily refundable.

[@Yinithyn]

​@PossiblyAxolotl How is this exploiting the refund policy? Steam says you can have a refund if you play a game for less than 2 hours, he played it for less than 2 hours, he got a refund. Its literally just as simple as that, stop trying to hate on his cool content. Or you can go to literally everyone else on the internet that has ever refunded a game that they beat in less than the refund time. I wish you luck with that endeavor.

[@PossiblyAxolotl]

@@Yinithynhey no hate here, I’m just expressing my concern. I absolutely respect playing and speedrunning a game, the part that has me concerned is simply, as I said, showing off how easy it is to refund after you’ve finished. The point of refunding a game is generally if it doesn’t play how you expected, or is broken, or in some way provides a lesser experience than you may have hoped, but playing an entire game and then refunding is like watching a movie and then wanting to refund your ticket because it was less than 2 hours

[@spaceman5343]

@PossiblyAxolotldon’t even try to compare a game to a movie…

[@drakdragon]

New challenge: can you go get milk and cigarettes and make it home in time to get a refund?

[@VideoGameEnjoyer777]

13:50 Hey, thats celeste music!

[@Handelhere]

I love the I do not care line in super liminal it is the best line this is actually something that I think GLaDOS would say

[@thatrandom_canadian]

Dunno why people seem to have a problem with the premise. The only people that would be even capable of completing the challenge would be people that already bought a copy to practice on. I'm honestly not even convinced on the argument of "it costs the devs money" because the claim is being parroted with no sources, there hasn't been a single person who has said something like "Jimmy Devguy, developer of Steve Gunshooter Shoots Enemies said that this is true on their social media".
