Players Asking For A Refund, What Do I Do?

I used to give refunds on my paid access game if they contacted me and gave a review as to why they did not like the game. It was only 25 robux. I would just tell them to give me some ways on making the game better and to leave a thumbsup.

Better to keep the players happy then them complain and not ever play your game again.

That’s why I immediately thank them, give them the answer (no) and tell them how to fix it.

I understand, but our cases are very different

Yours is like buying a random gift and not satisfied with the item received.

In my case however

You know exactly what you are going to get, even tho he bought it by accident it was his fault for being careless.

You’re not required to give him a refund at all, it’s his fault. However if you want to show a kind gesture to him, give him a 50% refund. But as said, it’s his fault and up to you.

If you would like to, I believe a group payout for the amount you received (not including the marketplace fee) would be appropriate. However, you should not be under any obligation to do so, since it was his mistake.

I think that Roblox should add a refund feature for situations just like this. Considering that purchases of Dev Services with Robux are performed solely between the Payor and Dev (per the Terms of Service), a refund feature seems critical for disputes to be settled in a fair and efficient manner, which would be in Roblox’s best interest.

Perhaps you would like to post a feature request?

No, I have seen many Feature Requests for Refunding, I don’t think Roblox will ever add it.

Is it a web feature? It won’t be added

Do not ever refund on something that isn’t your fault. If other players find out someone else got a refund and they want one, it’s going to be hard to argue why they shouldn’t get one when someone else did.

I would literally copy the text from Cindering’s FAQ hahah

Don’t think you have to, but I do, just for the sake of.

You are really nice, I would just not care enough to censor the name.

I would personally censor the name out of confidentiality and respect for the end user.

The uncensoring of the name has no positives for me in this context and could bring the risk of harassment against other users.

I have an expectation of that not to occur but whenever I publicly display any information with PII (Personally Identifiable Information) I feel it’s important that I redact that information, I wouldn’t want to cause issues because I choose not to censor something

This is some sort of scam in my mind due to;

  • First of all you’ll have to click the buy button.

  • Then you’ll have to click the other buy button (Mind the fact I’m poor though, as I spent a stupid amount on a game hehe)

So can you really imagine some one “accidentally” Buying a gamepass if they had to click the buy button twice? Even in game, you’ll have to click the buy button twice. This is 100% Some sort of scam to get the items for free but the user has failed in this case.

There’s no obligation to refund anyone unless there is a fault in what they bought (doesn’t work, false advertising etc). Just because he regrets buying something doesn’t mean you should give him his money back.

I get this every so often for my game. People say they want a refund for a gamepass train because it has a cosmetic change or whatever, and I have to tell them that I can’t because refunds are not a feature.

IIRC someone even said ‘I want a refund, I’m a car person!’ in the comments of one of the gamepasses and I was like, “this is a train game”. :roll_eyes:

Those are just trolls, You’d have to learn to ignore them and just continue development on the game adding things that’ll expand to other communities.
