And those are fundamental problems with the 2 hour refund system but the loophole they closed just makes sense. You shouldn't be able to play a game for 48 hours while its in AAA "early access" Ie you preorder the game's special edition (Starfield and that new ubisoft star wars game are doing this) and you can play the game a few days before launch but since the game isn't released you can get a no questions refund. To be honest, I assume those kind of games already followed the 2 hour restriction but I guess it was very uncommon until very recently but now this is a new way for Publishers to screw consumers because it means consumers can start playing before embargoes for game reviews come out.
