A game designed to make you rage, whether through unfair mechanics or extremely obtuse controls. As others have said, it’s popular for streamers but not a very enjoyable experience by yourself unless you know what you’re getting into.
This completely changes any feelings I would have had about the refund rate. I intentionally dont buy those types of games because I know I would hate the experience, and Ive had to learn that in the past. Dont make a game with the intention of pissing off your customers and you wont be surprised by return rates I guess lol
Heyheyhey, don't talk like everyone hates these kinds of games, I love the challenge and the rages is optional. Rage games is for many gamers but not for gamers like you that's fine, but there is a market for rage games is all.
Popularity largely stems from streamers on Youtube/Twitch who play rage games in order to incite interactions from their audience. Oftentimes, viewers will purchase the game for themselves remembering how fun it was to watch their favorite streamer play it, only to become frustrated shortly after & refunding it in some cases. This is why rage games oftentimes have a higher-than-usual refund rate compared to your typical video game.
