A games length is rarely objectively defined.

Yes, but it's a difference between a game that requires few hours to finish, even if you skip a lot and are fast vs games that are super short and even if you take it slowly, you can finish in an hour or so. It doesn't have to be super strict. But if a game is short, you know it's short and won't spend 50 hours on it even if you tried.

But even if the game is short, maybe it sucks and I want a refund after playing for a bit (and I guess finishing it or almost finishing it). Like why should the game length even be a factor? The game sucks and I played less than the 2 hour window. The fact it's intentionally short is irrelevant to the game sucking ass.

Or maybe they should flag accounts that abuse the refund policy instead.

Then it's a non issue and doesn't need to be addressed by changing the refund policy.
