Disclosure of episodic games
Hey all.

I'm jumping through to Steam's hoops trying to return a game that turned out to be episodic. Something that was not disclosed at the time I added it to my wishlist, and even now is hidden under the fold. (Not holding my breath on this..) And it got me thinking that Steam needs to treat episodic content the same way they treat early access, by forcing disclosure at the top of the page. Yeah, I know. Not anywhere near as bad as the scammers that are usually dealt with here. I just wanted to hear some opinions on the matter from peeps that are interested in consumer protection.

Ya know... in case I'm kinda/sorta/maybe/possibly/probably overreacting. ;)

It should be disclosed in some way. Yeah. I agree.

I agree that it needs to be prominently displayed on the store page. I've seen where only after people started giving their game bad reviews for ending in a "cliffhanger" that devs will admit that the game is episodic. Then to add insult to injury they say that if the game sales don't meet their expectations they won't make any more to finish the story. So the buyer is stuck with a game that has no conclusion and can't refund it because they've played more than the two hour limit.
