I guess they refer to CDPR comitting to refunding everyone who's not happy with the game.[1]

Interesting that Steam had no issue fulfilling that promise since they loose out on it as well. Also sounds like a bit shit thing to do after completing the entire game.

Yeah I got the "bad" ending for not spending enough time with Keanu Reeves

The game was so unbelievably broken I just wanted to see out the end and be done with it

That would undermine them as a platform and that would make them loose more than a revenue from one title.

App Store doesn't let developers refund their customers and it does just fine.

Granted, they are the de-facto monopoly, but this specific policy is seldom criticised.

It’s also a very different populations with different expectations.
