Steam’s Most Negative Reviews Left by Players with 100s of Hours of Playtime
A recent study concluded that when players invest too much time in a game, they’re more likely to negatively review it.
Playtime!
Released Apr 22, 2022
Playtime! is a PC action game released in April 2022. Recent coverage has largely centered on Battlefield 6's refund policies and player dissatisfaction, with Steam reportedly approving refunds for players despite exceeding typical time limits - one case involved a player with 470 hours who sought a refund after Rush mode was silently removed in a patch. The store page continued listing the mode even after its removal, prompting support intervention. This has contributed to broader conversation around Steam's refund practices and how extensive playtime correlates with negative reviews, suggesting players who invest significant hours are more likely to leave critical assessments.
