Doesn't Steam have a new return policy?

Here's my Steam review:
A side scroller with zero charm and terrible design. This would have been a decent game in the 90s...maybe. Bad graphic. Bad sound. Terrible keyboard or pad controls. Slow responses by your character. A wafer thin story. Oh, and you get 1 life and 3 credits to complete the game's 7 short AND TIMED levels.

I'm sure the intent was to make the game a challenge, and make gamers want to replay it to beat it, but it's not a fun game nor pretty to look at, so playing it again becomes a chore.

I think I paid $2 or so for this in the last Steam sale and I feel like I overpaid.

I paid $2.99 and I just asked for a refund to my Steam wallet.

This game is now worth it to me just because I get to see the Steam Return process.

So doesn't that mean you should now cancel the refund request?
It's not me, it's someone else.

Ha! I think you just created a new game: Steam Refund Simulator.

Steam told me I have 40 minutes on record with the game and I purchased it within the last week.

Just as an FYI, if you want to go the returns route, you have to have purchased the game within the past 14 days and have less than 2 hours in game.

However, they do add that even if you don't fit that criteria and want a refund, ask anyway. They said they won't guarantee returns outside of their parameters, but they will look into them.

My money hit my Steam Wallet 1 day later and Gigantic Army was removed from my library.

Cool.
