Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

If there is no demo that's on the devs. Also you could just refund on Steam, that's what I do, can't be arsed to download the game twice really. If it's good it stays, if not down it goes.
A lot of people talk about the steam refund policy however I just don't trust that I will get my money back even though it's a "non questions asked" kinda deal. If I've given them $80 for a game, they can easily decide to just keep it...
It's also time sensitive, and sometimes I end up wasting a couple of hours just tweaking settings, and character customization
Simple solution: don't do that until you've decided to keep it
