The Epic First Run programme allows developers of any size to claim 100% of revenue if they agree to make their game exclusive on the Epic Games Store for six months.

After the six months are up, the game will revert to the standard Epic Games Store revenue split of 88% for the developer and 12% for Epic Games.

So, you don't like Epic because they didn't offer a refund beyond the refund window? Idk man, I don't like them for many reasons but this seems a bit off

I don't like that they inconsistently enforce the 2 hour window. The reasons I don't like Epic include a lot more than just this one situation, but it sure enforced my opinion of them. I see how you can boil down my anecdote to your version, though.

I mean, he was <15 minutes off the cutoff, you were 30 minutes. It's not unusual for there to be a little bit of leeway with these things. If you both played exactly like 2:15 and one of you got a refund and the other didn't then I'd say yeah you're justified in being outraged, but as it stands... you're mad because they were did your friend a solid and made an exception and not you; which just seems like a selfish take ... be happy either of you got cut a break.

They did more than they said they would, not as much as you wanted them to do.

If you think that's what this is about, you're missing the point. You can have a bad take and the company can still be a bad company.
