God bless you cant.

I would argue that reading the entire book then getting a refund would be stealing.

So I'm not terribly sympathetic that you weren't able to do that!

its not stealing have you ever heard of a library. books are free BRO

Err, yeah, definitely heard of libraries...I'm a librarian! Libraries still pay for the books they hold, and authors get residuals every time someone borrows that book.

The OP was deliberately trying to abuse Steam's refund policy to get something for free, then moaned about it - on Steam - that he wasn't able to do it.

Library's sell you books but you get a refund when you bring it back. Because so many people did this in a library they started cutting out the middle man, ie they said you didnt have to pay as long as you bring it back.
That's what i wanted to do here. Steam miss leads me because despite it saying Library at the top it doesnt actually work like a library should.

It isn't a borrowing library. "Library" refers to your personal library of games and apps.

Look, I hope you enjoyed the book and think it was worth the few pounds/dollars you paid for it. Now you own it, you can always read it again at some point!

i dont want to read it again, i want to take it back to the library and get my money back

You didn't get it from a library. You bought it from a store. You now own it forever, even if you don't want it.

Now, three cheers for capitalism! Hip hip hurrah! Spit in the face of commie libraries and their socialist ways!

Honestly, reading and refunding is unfair. I mean, you enjoyed the content, right? Otherwise you could have stopped after 10 min. So, be fair and pay for what you consumed. People spend time and resources to bring you this.

I agree with one person above that calls this stealing. Shame on you.

You have 8 years of service on Steam. :)

Yes I enjoyed the content very much but I don't want to provide the creator with money but he is forcing me too which is just plain unfair
