I purchased Sonic Forces, beat Sonic Forces, and refunded Sonic Forces all in one stream. McKown defended his erroneous abuse of the refund policy by telling Polygon, “If my actions truly did violate/abuse Steam’s refund policy, my request would’ve been denied.”
Yet he cheated the system by sweeping the bugs under the rug by lying about purchasing the wrong Sonic game.
McKown beat Forces in under three hours, therefore he didn’t qualify for a refund. Steam’s refund policy explicitly states that it will refund users the cost of games bought within a two-week period and played for less than two hours. WeeGeetheGod falsely requests Steam refund for Sonic Forces The biggest elephant in the room, however, is the following clip where, after beating the game in about two hours and 40 minutes, McKown writes to Steam asking for a refund of Forces, not because of the glitches and other issues he endured, but because he “bought the wrong game.” In another clip, he disses the producers for poor scriptwriting in a cutscene where Infinite terrorizes the avatar, whom McKown dressed in AiAi’s ears and NiGHTS’ boots, after destroying the city. In one clip, during a stage where Sonic and his avatar go up against Infinite, McKown screamed into the microphone for 30 seconds after experiencing a sudden crash.
A Twitch streamer is embroiling in a hot coffee pot of controversy after streaming the PC version of Sonic Forces in its entirety, and asking Steam for a full refund in front of his viewing audience–five days after the game’s launch.Ĭade McKown, known as WeeGeetheGod on Twitch, encountered a series of glitches previously reported by other Steam users, such as frequent crashes, stuttering, and poor optimization, creating a recipe for a disastrous playthrough.
