I'm confused. The game is exactly what I expected it to be from the previews. I am not sure what you thought the game was going to be about?Steam, Sony, and Amazon are quietly offering refunds regardless of playtime.
I'd recommend getting in on this asap.

I thought it was going to have quite a few of the things the lead developer said it would, and then refused to refute when asked about said things missing.I'm confused. The game is exactly what I expected it to be from the previews. I am not sure what you thought the game was going to be about?

Interesting how different people have different opinions. There are many who do not share your views, with evidence to prove it, that is why they are getting refunds.
It would be equivalent to giving an engagement ring to and marrying someone you met in Vegas on the same night. You don’t know this person, nor do you have any idea how things are going to work out in the long run. You just took a blind chance, and really, you have no one else to blame but yourself. “But it’s not fair! She told me she had her PhD, she seemed like a brilliant mind, and she loved video games! She seemed perfect, but she lied!”, you might say. Yeah. Lies happen, and life can be very disappointing. But guess what? You are responsible for your life and the crappy things that you decide to invite into it too, and that includes your poor choices in relationships, and yes, your poor video game purchasing decisions.
All too often today, we love to point the blame on anyone but ourselves, but really, we don’t have any to blame but ourselves when it comes to pre-ordering video games.
Why have we gotten to the point that we trust a product 100% months before it is even released? Some people even pre-order video games over a year before it is supposed to release. I’m not saying that we should stop pre-ordering completely, but I think we need to be honest with ourselves, look in the mirror and admit that we have a pre-ordering problem.
If we continue to pre-order games so prematurely, developers might see that as an opportunity to take advantage of popularity and release games prematurely, because guess what? At the end of the day, they are a company trying to make money, and if you are throwing money at them before they give you the goods, then you are no better off than giving an engagement ring to someone you just met. You didn’t make the developers work for your money, because you just gave it to them before they gave you the game they promised, and that is a huge problem that we have run into
When is it just hype and when it is the developer said "you can do this" and you not being able to do that? One or two instances would be fine, except there are an extremely high amount of these. Now, I don't really have a dog in this fight (I knew it was going to be a huge stinker based on what the lead developer said... creating new elements to make the sky green? Yeah, okay buddy), but I totally understand people wanting to believe the product was what the lead guy advertised. If a car company (because AT loves car metaphors) said things like "has 500 horse power and power windows and magic headlights and leather seats" and you get the car and it doesn't have all of that, wouldn't you feel cheated?I've noticed a pattern though. I'm also in the camp that I got pretty much what I expected, and while I wouldn't consider it worth $60 I'm certainly not upset about it. However, I also based this opinion mostly on gameplay vids and trailers. I didn't really read or watch any developer interviews, and that's where a lot of the "evidence" seems to be coming from when people want refunds. Focusing only on the handful of videos I saw, I wasn't terribly surprised with how it turned out... but I was actually surprised with some of the things people were expecting, and didn't know where those expectations came from. After seeing some of the interviews I originally ignored I began to understand, and am glad I didn't follow that side of the hype or I might have been just as disappointed.

That's just a retarded response. Use more of those brain cells please.Not if you drive the car 5,000 miles and expect your full money back. Dealerships will just laugh at you.

As for pre-ordering games from completely unproven developers like Hello Games, I agree, there is no way you should do that. However, the publishers and the retail stores are the ones heavily pushing pre-orders, and in this case, they did it with false information, so they are culpable.

To be fair to Valve, I just got notice that they refunded the full price to my PayPal! As noted above, they originally said I would get a credit to my Steam wallet. Oh the wonders of a PP dispute!
Anyway, I didn't pre-order and game time was showing in steam as 4 hours.
What else should I try?
"NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER SURRENDER" - Galaxy QuestGive up and never preorder again? I mean it's that simple, if you had read any of the reviews it was pretty obvious that this was a turd.
How much text are you putting in your tickets. I put a wall of text from that Reddit thread. Do you have two ticket types in (automated and steam support)?Wtf? I've been disputing it for almost 2 weeks now. They just keep sending the same reply saying I have played it past 2 hours, yadda yadda. 5 hrs..whoopie. I get their policy but not of they lie to gamers to sell the game, it's false advertising and I even all capped that in my last one.
So what am I doing wrong here? My last one said " THIS GAME IS FALSE ADVERTISING" I am a customer and the customer is always right. Why are you doing this to me? Origin doesn't treat me like this. (i lie)
