Fun fact: you can refund items on steam past the 2 hour mark if one of the following is true: 1. The game literally runs so poorly that after 2 hours of trying to fix it, you gave up. 2. The game has a proven track record of being dog shit (AKA has a large amount of refunds in Steams records) 3. The game does not accurately depict the expectations of game play. (IE. forcing you to play the game for 2 hours without being able to save or even do anything promised in the videos) 4. The game does not properly or accurately list computer spec requirements. (not applicable here but still) and a few other things.... so technically you can actually get a refund for a steam game up to 4 hours into gameplay if the game LITERALLY does not do as advertised. For the future of gamers spending their money to show us shit games....

[@maksrambe3812]

I don't think the up to 4 hours is the true limit either, I've heard many people successfully refunded Helldivers 2 after the PSN fiasco.

[@TheBitzii]

@@maksrambe3812 Thats true.....I mostly said the up to 4 hours thing because I have done this on multiple occasions and KNOW that without any issue the 4 hour mark worked out fine for me. I think it really depends on controversy surrounding the item in question

[@snowworm4601]

On the other hand. I had 0 minutes on Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, but I had owned it for about 6 months. I went ahead and downloaded it on my Steam Deck, where the game is steam deck verified as playable. When I tried to launch it I got an error that was caused by a change in their anticheat which means it can't run on Linux. They didn't give me a refund despite this fact, I presume it was just an automated response and they didn't consider my situation.

[@snowworm4601]

Btw, it's still listed as playable.

[@TheBitzii]

@@snowworm4601 ....the steam deck runs on LINUX? Why am I not even surprised - unfortunately the issue might have been that someone saw it and was like "This was purchased WAAAAY before this was ever an issue. Denied" which with refunds they tend to be more strict on the amount of time owned than amount of time played.....

[@Velarix]

The seesaw in that game actually works because it's just a widely used asset that already had it working to begin with. I've seen that same exact asset neighborhood in a ton of indie horror games, equipped with the same meme monkeys.

Yeah, where most train travel games are meant to be relaxing the Deutsche Bahn Travel Sim would be extra stress inducing including nice features as last second delays, unannounced cancellations and of course just non apparent changes in platforms that are announced 1 or 2 minutes before departure where you have to sprint across the whole train station to get from platform 1 to platform 12 while fighting your way through the hallways and overcrowded escalators PS: oh, i almost forgot my favorite feature: unannounced cancellations of certain train stops and or just the train ending at a station way before end station for some non-descript reason

[@pointblank2890]

See, "Relaxing Commute Simulators" would actually be a lovely little niche to play. Riding the elevated train in Watch Dogs, taking the bus around Islandville in the Coin Game, sitting in the back of a cab in GTA V--all of these allow you to occupy a space with your character as the vehicle you're in goes through space in real time, rather than just a fade to black or a fixed cutscene showing the exterior of the vehicle. There's a certain charm in that 'limited interactivity' of looking out the window, seeing the interior of the vehicle, maybe even seeing other passengers. As such, a Train Riding simulator (akin to the passenger mode in the Trainsimworld games) sounded like a delight! But after seeing all of the strange choices and jank in these games, I think us fans of that cozy commuting experience will have to look elsewhere to get our fix,

[@oxymoron02]

That map in Train Trip 2 is a Unity store asset, you won't be surprised to learn. Seen it in a few horror games.

It's traditionally been used as a bandit language since the middle of the 19th century or so. So there's really no direct translation for a lot of the words because they've evolved to be very specific, 'fuck' really doesn't cover either the meanings or the intensity. It's honestly pretty vile, and there's quite a few people who take great pride in speaking only in that language.

Those are just for EA products mind you. They already got plenty of ideas, even on making money out of nothing - another prime example for that would be Ubisoft selling ingame cash for real money on Ghost Recon Breakpoint (same as Skins ripped from their other games) while tuning down the best grinding methods for said ingame currency, not that they haven't sold ressources in some other entries as well (e.g. Assassins Creed Syndicate), but for Breakpoint they specifically went out of their way by preventing players from effectively farming it.

[@vrapbrap]

They can get away with it due to their games being niche and niche games generally requiring more monetisation through dlc and the like. When your games sell low numbers, you gotta make the money through other stuff. Granted they are a bit aggressive but the format makes sense and isn't some crime against humanity.

[@sienihemmo]

For russian train trip 2, a note: The Steam refund policy does actually allow for refunds after 1.5 hours. It's just that after 1.5 hours you need to justify why you should get a refund, before it Steam will just grant it automatically. Like for example, I've gotten a refund after 4 hours because I explained that the game in question was so slow paced that it took me 3 hours just to play through the tutorials, and in the 1 hour of actual gameplay I realised it wasn't my kind of game. So you could totally get a refund for shit like this, just explain that it's over 2 hours of just sitting without any gameplay and I'm pretty confident that they'd give you a refund. Also, I think the store page can be reported for fraud because of the false review scores.

[@Skaatje]

Okay I had to look up why the train at the end was called 'Dick Mabbutt' and I found this: The way GB Railfreight tells it, unit 73962 got its name from a widely loved engineer at British locomotive works Brush Traction. Richard Mabbutt (affectionately known as Dick) worked his way up from an engineering apprenticeship to Chief Electrical Engineer over a 40-year career, only to pass away unexpectedly in 2013. Not gonna lie, that is hilarious! I expected it to be from some 2000's online poll. 😁

[@thunderchild1083]

I don't know about anywhere else, but in England Dick is just the naturally shortened version of the name Richard, so I don't know why they said affectionately

[@Nick-ue7iw]

Do you not understand why the name "dick mabbutt" would be said affectionately? Are you a robot? Pro tip: because it sounds like a joke name, as it implies sexual Congress. Hope this helps.

This concept of buying DLCs to improve the game is equally predatory and interesting, I really think it's a concept that can be explored in some way.

what would be cool would be if there were a game that could let you train travel across the entire world, and it would show realistically every single train station in the world with all completely different people in stations & carriages.. and maybe you could get rewards for having specific routes.. maybe you have to find ways to afford the train tickets like busking in the stations of getting jobs

There are a couple like that. Train Sim World 4. The great thing about that one that I looked up is all of the dlc costs about the same as a real train. 😂 I think there's another called train life or something like that.

The most scam in the scam is : The man called his game Trans Siberian Legend like the initials of a real train sim game " TSL" ... and i'm SURE it's not made without the intent to abuse of people lack of knowledge on theses games... he know what he do.

I feel like it would be fun if there was a game jam themed around trains. Like, specifically being a passenger on a train.

[@Don-ds3dy]

Imagine if in the train riding sim the passengers pulled the emergency cord for you to get back on...or if there was some secret or to unravel before the trip was over...or there was something lurking in the woods when you fell off...like our expectations were low and we were still disappointed.

It seems to me that this developer just doesn't understand how steam exactly works, and is thinking that he has to put up an entirely new game each time he updates.

[@Tropingenie]

I sincerely hope you got a refund on each and every one of these games. The intention of this, as you said, was very obviously not the craft. Other "worst games" I can at least give the benefit of a doubt to the dev, however small, but not this one. Especially the refund dodge, as others have said that one should be reported to Steam since it preys on the exact type of person who would even consider this sort of game as anything other than an asset flip.

Of course, these games are clearly way off the mark (understatement)

It's games like these that make me wish steam was more proactive with content monitoring.

[@Unknown_Genius]

We used to have community monitoring. People didn't use it, waved through those kinds of products as well and it took too much time for actual proper indie games the get released - so it got dropped. Steam is solely a marketplace where devs can put up their products with an arbitrary barrier of having to put up a fee at the start - the fact that this dev made multiple games tells you more about consumers than anything else, as he'd not have done so if he didn't earn enough back and operated at a loss. And if people think it's worth their money, then well, by all means, they can waste it on that, its their money.

[@DeuxisWasTaken]

@@Unknown_Genius the problem is, these games pretend to be more than they are to bait people into buying them, and then refund-dodge to prevent people from refunding them. I don't think anyone who legit bought one of these games thought it was worth their money after playing.

[@Unknown_Genius]

​@@DeuxisWasTaken I strongly disagree. If you'd play this and not realize after an hour that you probably should get a refund, then I don't know what to tell you - these are probably the most obvious "extreme niche that's not worth most peoples money" examples I've seen - and I refunded a lot of games during the years with none even being close to this level of a "how fast can I click the refund button" simulator. Also there's a report button to get it checked manually by support staff - and given that those games are 4€ and never state that there's more than sitting on a train and looking out of the window while being able to run around a bit good luck with that as they tell you straight up what you get.

Ah yes, because asking corpos to monitor content worked so well on YT, Twitter, Facebook? No, please let us do it ourselves. Otherwise we end up with bigottet, prudish censorship, while the scams still run wild.

A real train simulator that's horror would be cool, despite the horror fatigue. You and the NPC's are just going from place to place as people do and have to deal with the super natural. Various scenarios where you are just going to work and coming home. But still, a real proper train/life sim I'd probably play.
