Does this mean that the other 109K wasted their money?
Because I thought, I read somewhere that the developers pulled out. Which I assume means that there will be no fixes dor the known issues.
109000 copies at $40 minus the 30% steam cut. That’s about 3 million dollars they’re walking away with.

According to FNTASTIC all their developers were “volunteers”
Way more people refunded after the first day lol
The company disappeared though, they still let people refund?
Valve doesn’t pay out until the end of the month typically the following month. So yes so long as they meet the policy of 2 hours, and under 2 weeks.
In addition to what the other people replying to you said this isn’t valves first rodeo and when a game is this much of a shitshow valve steps in and waives the normal refund policy (have to refund with < 2hrs and within 2 weeks of buying the game) valve has a reputation to uphold and honestly they do that really well imo
I saw someone say that Valve holds back a portion of the revenue to cover potential refunds. If that’s true, I wonder if that’s calculated dynamically as it sounds like this is a higher than normal refund rate.
With as fast as this happened, Valve likely didn’t even cut the first check yet.
They would have, but the publisher has agreed to give refunds to anyone who wants one.
Edit: someone else posted sources but here is another one as well

Really? If that’s true that would be the most bizzare thing about the whole situation tbh. Not in a bad way though.
Do you have a source?
“We are sorry for the fact that the game didn’t meet the expectations of the majority of the players,” reads a statement from Mytona, noting it’s an investor in the game.
“Today we will work with Steam to open up refunds for any players who choose to make a refund. We’re in contact with Fntastic regarding the future of the game.”

Answer to those who ask for a refund. Mytona and we’re currently working with Steam to allow refunds for any player who chooses to request one, regardless of game time. Fntastic received $0 and will receive nothing from The Day Before sales.
This is absolutely crazy. It’s good to see but the whole thing doesn’t make any sense to me
To clarify, it’s the publisher not the Devs. They are also likely victims here.
Lol anyone who wants one…imagine not wanting one
