I've never quite understood why SOME PEOPLE feel the need to SPORADICALLY accentuate words in UPPERCASE. Am I a BOOMER?

I even met someone who DID THIS IN REAL LIFE !!!!

and he was not the character DEATH from Terry Pratchetts well known DISC WORLD SERIES

I SWEAR he managed to capitalize words during conversation

it was pretty weird

WOULD IT BE PREFERRABLE IF EVERYTHING WAS IN UPPERCASE, INSTEAD?

I don't know this case but I frequently do something else entirely while a game is running in background, even leaving the computer entirely, sometimes for hours. There might be other reasons for a faulty game time counter as well like server glitching out or something, it's not like GOG system is infallible and not subject to numerous issues, poor maintenance of offline installers come to mind. All in all, game time counter is far from being a reliable counter of how much time a person actually spent in it.

IT WAS BACK IN THE DAY

that's another matter but you guys were all harping about number of hours :) not the achievements, and my point was about the former rather the latter

Is it really? Even though there are many reasons for it as you rightly pointed out, a look at the achievements clearly indicates that it was due to OP actively playing the game. Consider it a proof that most of it can't be accounted for by technical error or having the game run in the background. So it should come as no surprise when others keep harping on about it. ;-)

I would not say preferable, but certainly easier to relate to. LET'S STOP SCREAMING NOW, ALRIGHT?

I refunded with Amazon. Went well :P

GET OFF MY LAWN!

I don't want to keep harking on about this, so all I'd say here is that while there isn't an explicit restriction on play time, the first clause in the policy says that if it's using the policy in a way to hurt developers, then GoG can reject it. It's also a voluntary, not statutory refund policy.

Now, that means that they basically reserve the right to look at whatever they want when they look at a refund (with an added proviso of ensuring it's not against local law). I believe that GoG would be very justified in refusing to refund in a case where the "customer" has played this long and got all those achievements.

Regarding the issue of playing after requesting the refund, that goes to intent on the part of the claimant. It actively undermines their request for a refund - i.e. you could interpret that as being a cancellation of the refund request (by actively continuing to use the product). Again, I think it would be fair for GoG to refuse to refund in this case.

I agree that to stop scammers, GoG should probably tighten it's refund criteria and make it clear that you must stop playing immediately upon issuing a refund request - but that would also mean that the freedoms of the many are being restricted by the selfish few who have abused the system.

LOWERCASE KILLED THE UPPERCASE STAR

You played the game for 84hs and ask for a refound... This meme expresses my opinion
