Nowadays, the absolute vast majority of games that I play are shit tbh.

This is why I pirate games first to try them out. I wanna be very clear that if I think a game is good I buy it, no questions asked.

However, since most games don't have demos or trials, I don't want to feel like I've wasted money so I look to piracy so that I can try them out before making a purchase.

AITAH?

They don't really market their refund policy. And, I know they have a 2 hour playing window. However, what if you're really into the game and you play 2.5h non-stop not realizing and they you decide to refund but can't. Sometimes it can take up to 10 hours to actually evaluate if a game is good. Some games have tutorials which can take 1-2 hours if you read everything and play at a slow pace at which point you're locked out of refund. I don't support their refund policy at all actually.

I would say its reasonable as it applies to all games even the indie ones that can end within an hr so any higher and people might start abusing it.
