Former Sony Employee thinks some of the people who have demanded No Man’s Sky refunds are ‘thieves’

No Man's Sky has been a hot topic this month for all of the wrong reasons. After much hype and anticipation, the game's release came and went the way of Spore, pitching a great idea but only going about half way. As a result, the internet did what it usually does, and lost its collective mind, pointed fingers, claimed mental trauma, etc. which led many to ask for refunds. The players who asked for refunds seem to have very wide variations in gameplay time, leading one ex-Sony employee to question the integrity of some of the refund claimants.

Shahid Kamal Ahmad a former Strategist Content Director for Sony, who also had a hand in securing No Man's Sky, seems to have an issue with the people who have been playing the game for 50+ hours and are demanding (and getting) refunds. He expressed his thoughts in a series of Tweets.

The fact that players are getting refunds for games after being played for 50 hours is something that's pretty unheard of for PSN and Steam. Steam's refund policy, though relatively new, only qualifies you to have spend 2 or fewer hours of game time, but its competitor, GOG.com lets players return the game after 30 days. However, Steam is making an exception in this case due to high demand.

Do you agree with Shahid? Do you think players should know before investing 50 hours whether a game is worth playing or not? Or do you think games should have return policies similar to GOG's 30-day policy?
