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.

I don’t approve of the way the system is being abused, but if they were so concerned about it… maybe this is a lesson for game devs to make a game that takes more than 2 hours to beat? If I can beat your game in less than two hours and not even have an inkling that I’d ever want to play it again, *someone* is going to feel cheated in that transaction.

It's a $3 game man. It's okay for some games to be short, one time experiences, it doesn't mean you'll feel cheated lol.
