In 2020 one of the most notorious releases happened. On the 10th of December Cyberpunk was officially released to the world. After a 7 year wait the fans finally got their hands on what they wanted. However, as we know this started awfully. With 30,000 copies being refunded and Sony removing the game from the PlayStation store, CDProjeck Red couldn’t really hold their heads high. What didn’t help was the lack of actual journalism from the gaming journalists on if this game was any good with most rating the game a 9 or 10 out of 10. The issues around this game were so massive that it made it onto the news. I even had my parents who have no interest in games asking me about it. Now the reason I’m mentioning this is that today’s topic is going to be around refunds. More particularly the customer's right to a refund, when should refunds be allowed, when shouldn’t they be, the confusing world of different marketplaces and the rules they have outlined, and most importantly the weird middle ground that games sit in as an entertainment product and consumptive art. So grab a cup of tea and let's sit down and discuss Gaming refund.
