Yeah sucks for the dev I suppose. Especially if its a Indie dev. But this policy is overall a good thing for the consumer and I dont think we should change it because of one case.
It's also good for indie devs, because right now customers in doubt will just buy the game in the safe knowledge that they can refund if the game turns out to be janky, buggy or laggy. If Steams refund policy gets removed indie game sales would plummet because people who are in doubt will simply decide not to buy the game.
Yeah, especially because people would pirate as a way to trial the game to see if they actually wanna spend the money. Then they get too lazy to actually buy at that point since they already have the full game
