It's like the Helldivers 2 incident, but for a single-player game, there's no excuse.

For trying a game, trying it, disliking it and refunding it, a series of events that is completely normal and allowed by steam's refund policy? Well it's probably getting changed when gaben dies and someone else takes over, but I'm not sure we should be rooting for that...

There’s a transactional cost to processing the sale, hosting the giant download and then issuing the refund. If people organized and manipulated the system and this became a financial burden, then the policy would almost certainly change.
