The best way to hurt them is to do a chargeback. Too many chargbacks, and their payment processor will drop them. They also pay the payment processor fee for both the sale, and the return.
This is extremely stupid advice.
The vast majority of those games were released way, way before the refund period, and following your advice would just result in getting banned from Steam for fraud.
The game in question as not released long ago. And, holy shit did all of you miss booktokgate?!
The gigantic list, some of which were released as long as twelve years ago, is the top post on this thread.
You're dumb.
I'm not a tiktoker, nor am I female.
I actually took the time to watch the fucking video. Maybe if you did, you could make a comment that matchea. I'm not a tiktoker either. But, it was a big deal. One of the hack channels told people to use Amazon like the library by just returning the books after they were downloaded. This lead to authors posting pictures of negative account balances due to REFUND FEES.
You are a retarded woman. The only company you hurt with chargebacks is Steam, which is the only pro-customer company in the world.
Steam is not pro consumer LOL
It is the only marketplace that allows negative reviews. EGS and GoG don't have reviews at all. It has a 2 week, 2 hours played no questions asked return policy, EGS and GOG don't do that. It allows you to block entire publishers so that you never get shown their games. Tim Sweeny would have an anurysm if one of his code monkeys came to him with that idea. Steam marks all games that use GenAI in their making. EGS has stated that all games will use GenAI if they get their way. Steam has a functioning friends list, and discussion board all games, EGS doesn't. Steam Workshop makes modding games trivial.
Steam is pro consumer because they want your money and want you to be happy with their service, instead of all the hyperpredatory shit EGS does, like allow cryptogame scams.
GoG has a 30 day refund policy even for games that have been played for any length of time during those 30 days. I believe it is the most permissive refund policy for any of the digital storefronts, by far.
They also have reviews and allow honest negative ones. Disco Elysium has some gems in there with titles like 'I don't support Communists' or "Devs are Marxist - DEFUND SOCIALISTS"
30% of sale price is obscene, period.
What do you call this then?

When's the last time you used GoG? They have public reviews very clearly under every game. It's not hidden or hard to find. There are several games with nothing but negative reviews.
Dumbass. That means STEAM is the payment processor that drops them. Isn't that what you want?
Edit: I just looked it up. Steam can't possibly be the most customer friendly company in the world if they penalize you for your relationship with your banking institution. My credit union has called me to tell me they were doing a chargeback on my behalf.
The reason steam want you to use their internal system is because IT IS THE BEST WAY TO HURT A COMPANY. Not just no income, fees. Cost the company processing fees.
Meanwhile you defend the company that took that right from you like a brain dead zombie that malfunctioned.
Any company will do that in any industry, not just Steam. Chargebacks are used to get your money back if the vendor refuses to do anything. It is NOT meant to be a punitive tool.
This site attracts some of the dumbest posters on the planet.
Lawfare taught you nothing.
