Exclusive PlayStation 5 titles have started the year with a flop called Code Violet: players are furious over Sony's refusal to refund money for this piece of junk.

PlayStation 5 Exclusives Start the Year with a Flop: Code Violet, as Players Fume Over Sony's Refusal to Return Money for This Shoddy Product

The PlayStation Store refund policy, which only allows refunds for content that hasn't been downloaded, has become the subject of sharp criticism from players. Exceptions exist, but they are extremely rare. This contrast with Steam's flexible rules (refund within 14 days if played for less than 2 hours) was vividly highlighted in the situation with the terrible game from the studio Code Violet.

Following critics who gave this shoddy product a score of 40, gamers have also joined the fray — on Metacritic, it has only 3.5 points out of 10.
