With @brokenrulesgames.bsky.social we were the 72nd external company on Steam. In 2009, when it came out, there were only 396 other games released. Discoverability was no problem as every game got front page treatment.

We recently switched from Slack to matrix.org for all our internal communications. Feels good to rely on an open protocol that makes it easy to also move between platforms and clients!

the % of refunds is much more related to the expectations you set on your storepage than anything else.
if you tell people they can expect a one hour game and the game is actually one hour long, refunds tend to stay in the average 5% range. if you falsely advertise your game, refunds skyrocket.
