Appeal letter draft

Subject: Refund request — Death Stranding (Crashes / won’t start)

Purchase details:

This is a genuine technical issue rather than a change of preference. I have included my system information and steps already tried. Please process a refund or offer an alternative resolution.

Thank you,
[Your name]

How the refund verdict works

The verdict compares your playtime and purchase date against the platform's published window (14 days / 2 hours on Steam and Epic; discretionary on PlayStation; 14-day capped on Xbox; no-refund policy on Nintendo eShop for downloaded software). Technical defects are weighed more favourably than preference changes, which is why the appeal letter template asks you to state the specific issue and attach evidence.
