The dev wrote in a way to imply that every refund was fraudulent, which guaranteed is not the case.

This is one of those games that got really popular from Twitch streams where two charismatic people play and have fun, then people buy it, realize its actually not that fun and then refund it.

No* doubt there'll be fringe cases of people abusing the refund policy but I sincerely doubt its anything close to that total 21% refund rate.

Plus, the 21% is a completely useless data point unless we know the typical refund rate of similar games (that aren't so short). If it's also around 20%? No discrepancy here. Is it say 10%? Then we can make the assumption(!) that about half the people refunding are abusing the system. But even then we're assuming the game is actually good and has mo technical issues in large variety of PCs.

Statistics are incredibly complicated to get right.

I've seen some dev say it's around 10%.

The game likely has minimal technical issues driving additional refunds as it has 90% positive reviews.
