Appeal letter draft

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

Dear Steam Support,

I am requesting a refund for Syberia, purchased on [purchase date]. The game is game crashes at launch or during play, which makes it unusable for me.

Purchase details:
- Game: Syberia
- Platform: Steam
- Purchase date: [date]
- Playtime: 1 hour(s)
- Issue: game crashes at launch or during play

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]

Evidence checklist

  • Receipt / order confirmation with date
  • Screenshot or clip of the issue (error code, crash, FPS counter)
  • System specs (CPU, GPU, RAM, OS, driver version)
  • Steps already tried (driver update, file verify, reinstall)
  • Server-status screenshot if the issue is online/matchmaking

Broken port? That strengthens a refund. When a launch failure, crash loop or unplayable performance makes Syberia unusable, that technical defect is exactly what tilts a refund appeal in your favor. Check your eligibility with the site's refund eligibility checker, or run the full refund tools (chargeback calculator, ban-appeal generator, minor-refund estimator). GameFixPro keeps every tool client-side and printable.

About Syberia

Syberia is an adventure game where a twisted story is combined with puzzle solving and a graphical quest’s elements. You take on the role of Kate Walker, who has to travel over half of Europe to fix her business issues. However, her adventure appears to be exciting and surreal, and, actually, life-changing. Searching for a man to sell her a toy factory, Kate becomes involved in a fantastic journey that leads her to the land of Syberia where mammoths are still alive. The main gameplay activity is classical for point-and-click quests and for the most part is solving numerous complicated puzzles that are tightly connected with the plot development and extend and deepen the story. Huge locations may contain dozens of puzzles, so finding all clues will make you explore every corner of every place. Puzzles often feature work with details from mechanisms and odd inventions. The gameplay supports the surreal atmosphere of the game which twists the reality with human dreams and hopes. Syberia is followed by two sequels, Syberia II and Syberia 3, that continue the adventures of Kate Walker.

How the Syberia FPS estimate and refund verdict are computed

Each game is scored on a 0–9 demand tier from its published PC requirements (and a year/genre fallback when requirements are absent). The FPS estimate compares your selected GPU's relative-performance index against the tier's required index using a diminishing-returns curve, then scales for resolution. The refund 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) and weighs technical defects more favourably than preference changes. All outputs are planning guides — verify in-game with the built-in benchmark when available, and confirm policy with the platform before acting.
