I didn't have the time to play it, tried to play it once and it didn't work. I have a life and it often gets in the way, especially if I buy something on sale with the intention to play it later.
I'm honestly surprised you are defending it; if my car, bought new, stopped working through my continued usage in its first year, it would be repaired for free. A game which I booted up once after three weeks wouldn't work... And I get told "no". Not really acceptable. 30% fee for zero accountability and my money lost.
A car isn't at max $70 lmfao, you're comparing completely different worlds of cost. Also depending on where you buy said car, that isn't the case lol, you buy a lemon... Get fucked it's capitalism baby.
Or my phone, or my TV, or my (insert device here).
Faulty goods are faulty goods.
Err no. Grow up.
The problem is that without that rule, you can just buy a game, go offline and play the entire game, then return it. You could essentially play any game you wanted to for free
That already happens; I've got a few thousand games on Steam so I'm not taking the piss when I want to refund a faulty game. My total is probably five or ten refunds in the life of my account (almost 20 years).
