I have major regret for buying this game. Games like this should have a 20 hour refund window instead of 2. It took me 2 hours to realize it wasn't possible to get the game to not run like garbage.

Steams 2 hour window is not a hard line. I've refunded games after spending hours trouble shooting

The two weeks thing I think is the hard limit, but 2 hours most definitely isn't.

Even 2 weeks isn’t the hard limit, at least in Australia.

I finished Doom Eternal at launch and put about 20-30 hours into it, but got it refunded when Bethesda added Denuvo to it 3 weeks post launch

Ngl I’m honestly happy with the trade off of being able to refund games when publishers try to pull shit vs being able to buy a Steam Deck
