Steam refunds cost indie dev 55,000 sales

Solo developer Zoroarts reports that 55,000 of the 270,000 copies sold of his game Paddle Paddle Paddle were refunded via Steam's policy, as players completed the $5 game in under two hours. The refunds represent $154,000 in lost income at an average $4 price after Steam's fee. Zoroarts suggests displaying expected playtimes on store pages to address the issue.
