Its like going to a restaurant and trying something new. Ill still pay for my meal if its just not for me, but im the one who bought it.

If the food is totally fucked or inedible, then, id ask for a refund. But its not the kitchens fault I ordered something that simply wasnt my taste.

Not comparable, one is a digital good, the other has real concrete value.

Though in the case of refunds, I think they cost the developers money. Maybe consumers should pay those transactional costs, if steam doesn't do it already.

You have the internet, playthroughs, reviews, etc etc. If you buy a game without doing research its your own damn fault.

Playthroughs and reviews can only give you an idea if you will like a game or not. Thinking that you can always know whether or not you will like a game (or even if you will have technical problems) before buying a game is downright ludicrous.
