Once refund policies became a thing it totally broke the sale model. Hourly/daily sales used to be good promotional events because people would play and get their friends to play. Today however with refunds, the only thing those types of sales would do is cause the companies to lose money from refunds and buy backs at cheaper prices. So now there is only one fixed sale price for the duration of the event.
A 2 hour refund policy is a joke for most games. Hell, some games take that long just to get setup and figured out what you're doing. So no, a 2 hour refund policy is not why. Even GOG is doing flash deals.
