Quote from the article: “The inclusion of intrusive DRM softwares [sic] like Denuvo is a choice that yields an unfair punishment on the consumer,” Running With Scissors says. “Respect the consumer, make a game they want to play, and you will never feel the need to fight piracy. The gaming industry deserves a better future, fight for that.”

You can return games on Steam tbh, enough of a demo for me if you're a Steam user.

I think you can also return physical copies? Depends.

Two hours really isn't enough for a lot of games. Some games you can't even get through the tutorial in two hours.
