but a video game isn't completely destroyed and unusable when you call for a refund. Other people can still buy the very same game despite you disliking the game and getting your money back. It is up to the discretion of whoever is selling the game (Jason in this case) whether or not they feel like giving your money back; it's more of a personal issue.
That restaurant analogy is way off from getting a refund for a video game
The game was downloaded and source code made available to them, they have a copy on their machine, they have it in their possession. From my point of view, as a fellow software engineer, they got the goods and can't actually return anything, so they need to pay for it, no returns (yes I understand its open source and on github). When you get a refund on a tangible object, you usually have to give the object back in exchange for your money back. You rarely get to keep said object and get your money back, because would be a stupid business model, and business would get robbed basically.
In my opinion, they ate the game, and they can't return it just like you can't return your meal after eating it at a restaurant.
I remember the good old days when "100% satisfaction guarantee or money back" was not a thing. Now people feel entitled to it just because they didn't like something. There were days where you could only return something if it was broken / defective, otherwise you were the dummy that bought something you didn't ensure you wanted.
It's not a very good way to go through life. You can't go to a restaurant and pay to eat whatever you want, and then at the end say you didn't like it to get your money back... you already ate it! And how do we know you are lying or not? What if you enjoyed every minute of it, but just want your money back because you are cheap? Someone spent the time and money to acquire the ingredients and cook the meal just so you can have the chance to taste it and determine if you like it or not. Whether or not you actually enjoy it or not is your own fault.
You can't expect to just buy a game, play it for who knows how long, and then when you are done just expect to get your money back... Someone spent many days of their life just so you can play with it at all, just so you can taste it, and you expect to just take that back because YOU don't like it? You punish them because YOU don't like it? Good one...
So I am trying to make a fire to forge some tools... but people all around me are stuck in some "put everything in baskets" mode, without even paying attention to what others are doing.
I go get some kindling and walk back and set it where I want my fire. Then I go out to get a leaf and come back to find my kindling gone (no it didn't decay yet it was too soon). So I set my leaf down and go get kindling again, come back and now my leaf is gone (again no decay). So I smarten up this time and get a basket, and go get kindling and a leaf and put them both in the basket and bring it back to where I want the fire near the forge. I set down the basket, put the kindling next to it, and the leaf next to that, and I go to grab the fire starter thing, and before I can get back to the wood, someone picked up my leaf and put it in some basket a few squares away. AHA! I found the neat freak who has been "cleaning". I yell "STOP PUTTING THINGS AWAY!", I grab the leaf and burn it, and get ready to put on the kindling, and sure enough someone else picked that up and put it in some basket. It was like some type of comedy skit, and these busy bees were doing this on purpose, but in reality they were just ignorant of their surroundings, and couldn't see someone trying to start a fire. They just want everything to be clean and in baskets...
Ok we get it... lets keep clutter down... but stop cleaning while people are working. Please be aware of what others are doing, please.
We need to be able to forge armor! Like Knights <- my best idea.
I hate this server. I can't tell which bears are friendly or not, and it keeps killing me. One real bear wiped out an entire town because of it. Need to disable this spawning as bear crap.
