10 Video Games That Punished You For Buying Them
1. Surgeon Simulator
Surgeon Simulator might sound like a neat idea on paper, but in reality it's designed solely to skyrocket the blood pressure of anyone who dares play it.
Surgeon Simulator is far from a rigorous, scientifically sound simulation of medical practise. In the vein of, say, Octodad or Goat Simulator, it's instead a joke game in which the intentionally terrible controls make it an absolute nightmare to get anything done.
It began life as a game jam project produced for a laugh in just 48 hours, but in light of the rapturous response to its debut, developers Bossa Studios fleshed it out into a full title.
Despite the obvious comedic value of the game's style, for anyone who quickly threw down their cash with the hope of playing a somewhat serious-minded, medically accurate simulation, this was nothing short of a colossal letdown.
Plus, given that Steam refunds weren't introduced until two years after its release, miffed players couldn't even get their money back.
