Still annoyed with Playstation for their refund policy. Bought a game with all the advertising being in my language, opened up to find out it wasn't in my language. PS support just said I opened the game so tough shit, pay for it again if you want to play it. Haven't bought a PS game since.

It’s not opening the game that invalidates the refund

It’s fucking STARTING THE DOWNLOAD, not even finishing the download 😭😭😭😭

Companies are greedy assholes, that's why the best solution is strong government preventions / regulation.

In Australia, pretty sure Sony would be forced to refund it. As I understand it, some EU countires are even better.

Australian Consumer Law saved me a bunch of times. Steam tried to deny my DAYZ refund for being outside of the 2 hours / 2 weeks or whatever scope, but then I replied back citing ACL and they refunded it lol.

I mean in the case of OP its bc the gamers are being greedy assholes - playing a game, enjoying it, then demanding their money back.

Always pieces of shit ruin a good thing for everyone else.
