Now that you’ve played it for 16.5 hours? Very doubtful but you can try if you must.

You can ask, but you most likely will not with that time. They don’t do price matching

This has very much to do with the point of your post: you can request a refund but with that much playtime it's likely to be declined.

you were a fool for paying full price for a 4 year old game, always wait for a sale unless you want the game on release

Actually it does. Usually you can almost always get a refund for items that just went on sale but they still need to be eligible for refund which is regards to the 2hr playtime/2-wk ownership cutoffs.

Sorry dude. Just keep playing and don't let it hamper your enjoyment. Live and learn

The refund policy allows for this, assuming you're within the policy window.

Otherwise no. If the game was worth full price to you two days and 16 hours of play time ago that's that. I guess the question is how many days later can a sale be before you don't mind it?

Don't purchase 5 year old games at full price would be my best best of "what you can do".

NEver pay full price... ever.

Add to wishlist and get notified when on sale...

No offence but someone with a 12 year old Steam Account should know better than to pay full price for game especially one that's been discounted 37 times in the past 4 years and that's just on Steam alone.

What you can do, OP, is bookmark the site Steamdb.info and use that site to determine whether you should wait for a sale on a product.

Become a smarter shopper.

Rule of thumb, don't buy everything you see at full price tag, you realize you can get much better deals if you did a little bit of research.

Sales happen all the time, you just need to keep an eye out for when deals to happens really.
- Deals happen on weekdays, & weekends.
- Deals happen on sale event such as summer sale, winter sale, or etc...

We have third party retailers that also do deals, can try checking out isthereanydeal.com to help find the best deal across sites such as humble bundle, greenmangaming, indie gala, Fanatical and etc...
- Some has daily deal.
- Some has weekday, & weekend deal
- Some has bi-weekly, or bi-monthly deal.
- Some makes bundle deals, and can be random too.

Log in to the Steam client - click on help at the top of the screen - click on Steam Support - click on 'Purchases' - click on the game - "I have a question about this purchase" - explain the issue politely.

Don't play the game at all until you have received an answer.

Asking for the refund to go to your wallet seems to help.
