Andrew Spinks is the creator of Terraria and CEO of Re-Logic, and 13 years after the sport’s preliminary launch he is give you a brand new refund coverage for the ludicrously low cost recreation. “Personally defeat” Terraria’s creator in PvP, and you may have your a refund. Oh, and “no questions requested.”
Spinks, who goes by the deal with Redigit, says gamers who need their $10 again now have this feature:
“I’m happy to announce that Re-Logic has a brand new refund coverage. Now you can refund Terraria for any cause, no questions requested,” writes Spinks (first noticed by GamesRadar+). “You simply must personally defeat me in PVP.”
I am undecided that taking up somebody who’s each created and has been taking part in a recreation for a number of a long time is an particularly simple activity, and certain sufficient well-liked Terraria YouTuber Chippy rapidly proved this was the case. Shortly after Spinks’ proposition, Chippy posted the under video lamenting that it is “tougher than it sounds”, with the clip exhibiting Chippy getting completely beasted in a 1vs1 joust towards Spinks.

The stakes even appear to get greater. “We’re jousting, and whoever wins the joust turns into the brand new CEO of Re-Logic,” says Spinks firstly of the struggle, earlier than promptly profitable the struggle and retaining his place. There isn’t any indication as as to if there’s any penalty for the loser: I imply, I am fairly unhealthy at Terraria, however I reckon if I used to be in a position to simply go at Spinks 100 occasions I may most likely win one. Possibly.
Re-Logic head of enterprise Ted Murphy instructed PC Gamer that it is turn into “considerably of a practice” for ChippyGaming to problem Redigit for the title of CEO throughout testing classes. “They’ve had joust-offs, challenges utilizing solely sure weapons, and the like. Chippy has by no means dethroned the king,” he stated.
Murphy defined that Spinks’ tweets have been the results of the group studying by a few of Terraria’s current refund requests and Steam opinions. “We wish to learn each commonly simply in order that we are able to see what issues is perhaps on the market that gamers are dealing with. It’s an effective way to seek out gameplay parts that want tweaks, bugs to repair, and so on.” he stated. “Quite a lot of our unfavorable opinions are ‘pretend’ unfavorable opinions and/or the explanations given are so wild and random (folks with lots of of hours simply leaving rants in regards to the Angler or Cave Bats, and so on.) that the group was having a superb snort at quite a lot of them.” The tongue-in-cheek tweets have been the results of “these two traces of humor coming collectively.”
It is truthfully arduous to think about anybody truly desirous to refund Terraria at this level. It has been years and years since I final performed but it surely’s at all times been a terrific recreation, and a kind of that the developer appears unable to go away behind, in a great way. In 2022 Spinks stated Terraria’s subsequent huge replace would undoubtedly, undoubtedly be the final: however that is not how issues performed out, with the developer declaring 2023 “the yr of Terraria crossplay”, whereas numerous neighborhood members mooch about doing mind-blowing issues like constructing a pc within the recreation then taking part in Pong on it.
“Why on earth would I ever wish to refund Terraria,” a participant known as Shadow asks Spinks, to which the response is straightforward:
“So you should buy Terraria once more.”
