Terraria creator has a new 'no questions asked' refund policy: 'Personally defeat me in PvP'
Andrew Spinks is the creator of Terraria and CEO of Re-Logic, and 13 years after the game's initial release he's come up with a new refund policy for the ludicrously cheap game. «Personally defeat» Terraria's creator in PvP, and you can have your money back. Oh, and «no questions asked.»

Re-Logic head of business Ted Murphy told PC Gamer that it's become «somewhat of a tradition» for ChippyGaming to challenge Redigit for the title of CEO during testing sessions. «They have had joust-offs, challenges using only certain weapons, and the like. Chippy has never dethroned the king,» he said.
Murphy explained that Spinks' tweets were the result of the team reading through some of Terraria's recent refund requests and Steam reviews. «We like to read both
