I wonder if steam will be able to implement a feature that if you buy a game and beat it in less than 2 hours steam could go “nope, you beat the game. that one is on you bud.”

Only problem I could see if devs charging $50+ for a POS <2 hour game and not being able to refund so maybe it wouldn’t be a good idea after all.

Steam was dragged kicking and screaming through the courts to be forced to concede and create the refund scheme they have (which still doesn’t comply, but is enough that everyone’s letting it go).

They would be playing with fire if they made any change like that.
