Dear Steam Support Team,

I am requesting a refund for Ashes of Creation due to extraordinary circumstances related to the sudden collapse of the developer, Intrepid Studios, as of February 1, 2026.

This is not a standard refund request based on gameplay preference or dissatisfaction, but a report of a broken promise and an effectively abandoned Early Access product.

Reason for this request:

Studio Closure
It has been widely reported that Intrepid Studios has ceased operations. Senior leadership has resigned, and the development team has been laid off, with WARN Act notices issued.

Abandoned Early Access Product
Ashes of Creation was sold as an Early Access title with the explicit promise of continued development and future delivery of core features. With the studio dissolving, development has permanently halted, and the advertised product will never be completed.

Loss of Product Viability
Without an active development team, the game’s servers are expected to shut down or become non-functional, rendering the product completely unplayable.

I respectfully ask Valve to treat this case similarly to previous precedents, such as The Day Before, where refunds were issued due to studio closure and false or unfulfilled advertising shortly after release.

Given these circumstances, I request a manual review of this purchase, as the product is now effectively defunct and no longer deliverable as sold.

Thank you for your time and consideration

An absolute vibe of a game.

If you liked Slay The Spire, this is a must.

Great if you liked the first one. It's one of those sequels where not much has changed, but it has invalidated the first game. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a twin-stick platformer.

Used AI in development and it isn't tagged as such.

I'm sure this is a great game. Within the first two hours I couldn't parry making this game unplayable for me.

Game is great, I'm not typically into survival games. I've been lucky enough to not experience performance issues. If you're a fan of Dune and don't mind a bit of MMO flavoring to your survival games it's worth a buy.

Actual GOTY. If you miss the vibes of 'my friend brought over their Nintendo' this is a must get.

This game doesn't even have a windowed mode where I can adjust the window size. Why would I ever want a clicker or incremental game full screen?

Git gud.
