For those thinking on refund...you're screwed. I was aware they don't generally give refunds unless it's before the game is released, but I was hoping.

Hello,
As with most software products, we will not offer refunds or exchanges for purchases made online as outlined in the software license - please review Section 4 of the Steam Subscriber Agreement for more information.
