Normally I encourage my customers to get a refund if they don't like the game, but I have a few questions:
is there a maximum amount of time where after the time customers can't refund? I know there isn't DRM so we can't know how many hours the player has played the game, but isn't there supposed something like a 7-day period where customers can't refund after this time.
I'm writing this because I've just noticed someone refunded my game after a month, which seems suspicious. They had the game for a month and then refunded it essentially getting the game for free. (I can't reveal their details as it would violate the privacy policy). How is itch.io protecting developers from such cases of refund fraud?
Also, there are some people who downloads the game 10+ times after buying and that doesn't make sense unless they are account sharing. I would be happy if a moderator could address my questions...
Best wishes.
TL;DR:
- Is there a time limit where you can't refund after a set time?
- How is refund fraud handled?
- How is account sharing and multiple (mass) downloads of paid games handled?
Edit: English isn't my first language so I'm sorry for any mistakes I've made.
