Nobody compares to steam in terms of refund policy. As long as you keep within their boundaries, you will get the refund 100%. Its must have when buying from a digital only marketplace.

I’ve even made it a personal policy to only buy digital only games through steam.

If you have under 2 hours gameplay and its under 2 weeks since you bought it, they will refund for literally any reason. And they explicitly list that refunding because you didn't find it fun or because it went on sale and you want to rebuy is acceptable use. After that period I have had one request accepted and one denied so it depends on the situation.

> Steam is surprisingly good at offering refunds.

Had the opposite experience after a game stopped working 3 days after purchase due to its update (forced, if memory serves). Valve refused the refund because I played the game for more than 2 hours before it stopped working. Haven't purchased anything from Valve since.

It doesn't matter if it's free because you have to agree to a EULA when creating that account.

True, but your personal information and consent to use it has value.

That said, the Steam store page does tell you in advance this will be necessary if you know where to look. I don't buy those games, if I want them I'll eventually grab console versions used.
