Steam been threatening to decline my refund requests because I’m refunding too many games.

“It looks like you’ve requested a significant number of refunds recently. If you often have problems with your purchases, please submit another ticket so that we can help you solve these issues. Please note, that the Steam Refund Policy is not intended as a way to try out games for free. If we have reason to believe that the refund system is used in this manner, we may decline future refund requests.”
So I’m sailing the high seas with a certain in-shape girl to try Slitterhead this weekend, wish me luck.
Funny part is: game has a demo, but it only covers basic combat, not the actual gameplay loop, which’s more than that according to reviews and footage I watched, so I don’t have enough information to make a call only based on the demo.
And to Steam: if you figure out a way to tag games properly and push for publishers to add long enough demos, I wouldn’t be refunding too many games. Excuse me for not wanting to waste my money on games I’ll never finish.
On Slitterhead, I’m more of a Gravity Rush Toyama fan than a Silent Hill/Siren one, so I’m hoping what horror fans disliked about the game will appeal to me. Combat was fun in the demo, but I need to experience the bodiless traversal in more open-environment scenarios to decide if I like it or not.
I also hope the tracking thing doesn’t get in the way. It was a tad confusing in the demo. Seems like you need to interview NPCs too? I hope that doesn’t end up screwing with the game’s pace.

“waste my money on games I’ll never finish.”
That’s most of their sales though
