I tend to agree with most of the posts here. If companies still did demos like they used to, you wouldn't need a refund policy. You weren't able to refund a game back to a store if it was opened unless the disc was defective and even then it was a crapshoot on whether it would be accepted back or not.

The one poster is also right about there being a lot of unworthy crappy games. You didn't have that issue when materials had to be purchased: packaging, discs etc. With digital, anything can show up and early access is just...ugh, to me early access seems like nothing more than the old Steam Greenlight garbage. Nothing's guaranteed to be finished in that state and any ones I've seen seem to be more like beta access than early access.

I think over the years I've only refunded about 3 games and I knew in 5 minutes they weren't for me so I think 2 hours is good limit especially if you are playing and unsure about it. I'm probably also a bit on the boring side, I don't really look at games that I don't normally play so that's probably also why my count is so much lower. If I were more adventurous and willing to try games outside my comfort zone, I imagine I'd probably do the same as you.

Keighley seems more and more douchey every day. It's annoying how all of the gaming journalists and personalities have appointed him "king of the gamers" despite how his shows actually are. TGA is fine but is still too long, too full of ads, and you can see how his own ego gets in the way with celebrity appearances and such.

Last year's Summer Games Fest sucked and all I remember is how it had zero cool reveals, was way too long, and The Calisto Protocol's boss used his segment to kiss Geoff's ass. He also had Gamescom last year and it was really bad. I hope he does a good job with his events but I think we're missing out big time by losing E3.

It's worth remembering that he's 100% the product of nepotism with his extremely wealthy father pulling strings to get Geoff opportunities within the industry,

Still have my Saturn in the garage! I recommed Virtua Fighter II, Guardian Heroes, Nights: Into Deams, Darkstalkers, Sega Rally, Dragon Force, Radiant Silvergun and Panzer Dragoon Zwei (Panzer Dragoon Saga is better, but rare and a bit expensive. I bought my copy in 2000 for $100).

Edit: It's Darkstalkers, not Nightstalkers!
