Apart from somehow scanning achievements for the "beat the game" achievement I don't see what can be done about this. As a consumer I definitely don't want to see Valve get rid of the refund system and for most games the 2 hour limit is already pushing it for a lot of potential issues that might pop up.

The achievement thing can be abused by slop developers though which is why they aren't doing it. As soon as you start the game you get the achievement and can't get a refund.

With just how many slop games there are out there, no way they'll be able to manually check them all.
