    I'm being hurt by Microsoft's refund system


    Good morning everyone! I come here to comment on a case in search of a solution. In this Christmas promotion, I wanted to buy a new game to play. I decided to buy Kingdom Hearts 3, but there is a detail, I am Brazilian and the game has no Portuguese
    subtitles and I did not know, since I do not watch gameplays about the game so as not to spoil the experience. So I played the tutorial and the campaign start. When I say "campaign start" I mean about less than 1 hour of the game. Just to see if even without
    subtitles I would enjoy and not rolled since I do not understand much English. Ah, I am writing this message by Google translator. So after playing this little snippet I got some achievements, few is true, but I won, remember that. Then I went to the new
    Microsoft support site and requested a refund, and they said yes, they would refund me. I had money back in my account and went there to buy Final Fantasy XV. And I did the same thing, the tutorial and played the campaign start (less than 1 hour). Only
    in that time I gained [Mod Removed] 7 achievements. Seriously! The game gives achievements literally for everything. You do the tutorial and earn 2 achievements, you watch the initial cutscene and earn 1 more, you control the character 5 minutes and do
    what the game asks for and earn achievement. You open the menu and move there, explore and earn 2 more achievements for free and to finish you do a side mission in the first minutes of the game and guess what? Conquer again. Well ... I requested a refund
    of the game because I really didn't like the movement and saw that the game was not for me. Oh, one important point I am not a rascal and I want to earn few achievements and ask for a refund. For me I REMOVED these achievements and if someone in support
    wants to do that I accept quietly. Continuing ... I requested a refund of the game and the situation was literally the same as Kingdom Hearts 3, with the difference that I gained more achievements at the same time as the FF developer loves to donate achievements.
    But Microsoft support reviewed my request and declined. Until that moment I had not understood why I did not earn my refund. Behold, I will contact support by "contact us". There they explained to me that it is for the achievements and want me to answer
    the refund request denied email. I did that and now in the morning they denied it again. I beg you to look into this case and see this conquest game for free. I'm feeling hurt from not getting my money back just because the game fills with achievement in
    the first few minutes. Then it's easy for producers to avoid this Microsoft refund system. Put several achievements at the beginning of the game so no one is entitled to a refund. This is frustrating and I threw my hard-earned money in the trash. I hope
    someone from Microsoft reads this and resolves why this is [Mod Removed].

    :)

    This is really very sad. Thanks for answering. I really didn't have much hope, I had done everything I could.

    There's nothing anyone on the forums can do i'm afraid.

    If you were denied a refund after replying to the refund denied email then there's nothing you can do.

    I suspect it wasn't just the achievements that was the sole reason but the fact that you had already had a refund for another game not long ago.

    Once a achievement is unlocked on a game it can not be removed,not by support or anyone.

    The only time it does happen is if the enforcement team find that someone has modded their Gamerscore & then it is only xbox 360 games achievements that are removed as xbox one achievements can't be modded.

    They aren't 'hacking' you through Microsoft through. I don't know how much more I can dumb this down to get through to you.

    Microsoft not being hurt. Your ISP being Hurt. Talk to your ISP to stop them hurting.

    Scam

    Its not a fraud.

    It's just a glitch in the system.

    A company like Microsoft can't afford the publicity of small scams.

    It would hurt there company.

    Xbox One Issues...

    I'm going to be calling for full refund on system and games tomorrow and will not support this company any further. This is an epic fail on MS as far as I'm concerned. I think this may end up being worse than 360 launch.
