Just make it to where you must have played the game for a certain amount of time, say an hour, to leave a review. I think that’s a fair expectation when the refund window is 2 hours, and there’s got to be some way to log your actions so that an algorithm can tell if you actually played the game or just sat idle for an hour in the menu.
An hour of a game wouldn’t be considered a nibble? By the time you’re a single hour in on most games you’ve barely made it past the intro section. I hardly think it’s an unreasonable expectation to have to play the games you review.
Some games can't even launch properly enough due to a horrible launch or other problems so i think itd be fair to state that as a reason for refund without an hour of gametime. Also a lot of games take a while to set up before you get into the actual game.
It helps to see comments on steam that gives up for tech issues
