The refunds may have hurt, but what hurt more was the fact that in the last week HD2 went from #1/2 on the Steam global top sellers to #11. The big red "Overwhelmingly Negative" next to a title is a huge turnoff to new buyers.

Some executive somewhere has a chart showing daily sales numbers and watched them fall off a cliff in the last week.
