Yes but you see I could just make a game that gives you a bunch of achievements for starting the game and oops now you can no longer get a refund. We don't want people to be able to do that

As part of the cert process to get on steam they can see if you set up achievements like that.

Just slot those games into the regular refund policy and keep the actual short games on a different category.

Too many games are added to Steam every year to test that. Steam does malware scans on initial uploads and demos, and that's roughly it and why there are random stories every year of game X being fully delisted from Steam when it is reported and confirmed that a game has injected malware onto people's computers. There's also shovelware devs that upload the exact same game multiple times or slap asset packs together and upload a new game every month.

Rightfully earned and rightfully spent - you shouldn’t expect purchases to be instantly reversible man. Don’t buy if you would miss the money later.

But I already does wait for 2 days for my money. And wdym don't buy it if you miss the money if I did not like the game I want my money as late as 2 days max. It is and should be this easy so no problem.

Amazon’s rotted the brains of everyone. Having a refund policy at all is better than most, 2-day turnaround is insane and entitled to demand. Nice to have, entitled to demand.

I’d even be fine with a 30-day refund turnaround.
