I highly recommend to pickup Duck Game if you dont have it already, such a great game with tons of mods you can add to change it up. We have 120 hours in that game over the years and still play it every now and then. One thing I love about it is we never get mad or frustrated, instead it always makes us bust up laughing
I was trying to figure that out myself, as well, but honestly all we’re getting now is a blast of 2nd and 3rd hand information - even Garry is arguably a 2nd hand participant in this.
At this point I think there has been so much back and forth that we need an official statement from Nintendo to actually know what’s happening.
I guess this comment sums up what Steam is trying to do with this:
So in other words, what you are saying is that your incentive for buying pre-order “deluxe” pre-access editions was to play and finish the game to refund it, circumventing the refund policy, hence getting all the value of the product for nothing. Which would translate to using pre-access as a method to pirate games.
edit: Don’t get me wrong, I abhor the idea of pre-access deluxe editions and do not buy pre-order packages, waste of money in my book since those companies offering it seem to use those pre-access periods for paid last minute mass beta testing. But the idea to play for 24/48/72 or however many hours you can get in within the pre-access period, and still want to refund, seems like a criminal incentive to me.
