Steam is pretty reasonable. If you bought a game in the past 14 days and played fewer than 2 hours, you can get a refund for any reason. You need only go to your recent purchases, “report a problem”, and with a couple of clicks you’re done.

If works incredibly well and with no hassle, I have done it a number of times for games which ran like crap on my machine or plain weren’t fun.

I’ve heard GOG is even better with their returns, though I have never tried it. And they sell games which are DRM-free, so even better than a pirated version.

One exception: sometimes it counts the launcher running (and downloading more stuff), but it's rare for some games, mostly MMOs. So I have personally seen how people did not manage to log in before the 2h were up.
