don't want a game anymore
I bought a game and I don't want it anymore. Sadly, I'm not eligible for a refund, is there anything I can do with the game? I guess at this point, uninstalling it is the only option I have but I don't really want to? Anything will help!

you can hide it in your steam library, there's a hidden feature setting in steam

You have no right to do anything with it but play or remove it from your computer or even your account if you wish.
Play it until you get your next game.

If you're outside the refund policy that cover for less than 2hrs of gameplay, and not older than 14 days from the purchase date, then it's up to support to choose to approve, or deny refund, you're free to submit another ticket, but if get deny again then basically SOL for a refund.

What you can do if you don't want to see the game.
- Hide game via library can right click it > Manage > Hide game, and to unhide it, you visit "View" > hidden games, and unhide the game.

- Delete game from account via Steam help page, search for game there, click want to delete game from account, and done, which is just adv form of hiding the game, it doesn't actually delete game from account just hides it from profile, and license & purchase history. But if you decide later you want to it back, have to remember what the game name, and choose not in library, and restore. No you can't buy the game twice if you have done delete game from account, at checkout it will inform you that you have it, and just need to restore it if want it back.

For furture games that catch your eye, I recommend watch a small gameplay, read a bit of the reviews of said game before buying into it, even asking community questions in the game own sub forum can help you as well.

Hope this helps you out.

ty for your help! i already put in another ticket and am awaiting response, but from the other commenters if it gets denied again then i'll just have to force myself to play it since i did spend $15 it'd be a waste to just delete it

Even if you delete/unintall it the game will always be permanently linked to your account. Maybe if the future you'll revisit it and actually be ok with it
