That is the number 1 reason for me too. Although steam solves this problem partially with their return policy. But I don’t want to pay the price upfront everytime, so I resolve to piracy until I know if I want to buy the game.

I’d almost agree. Steam is great with it’s return policy, but only really by comparison. The 14 days is definitely plenty of time, but 2h is not a lot for quite a few, and especially the expensive, games.

I want ~10 hours to make a call personally. If I can’t make it out of the character creator and tutorial stage then it’s not enough time.

it’s a bit of a shit situation because i can’t really come up with a way to decide how long the free return window should be on a per-game basis, surely if you make it depend on the game’s standard playtime they’ll just make the main quest 30 minutes long and make all the actual content side quests
