How would this get around Steam’s return policy?

Think is, it's either under 2h of play or 2 weeks on your account. So, if you buy the game cause "it's super cheap, an amazing oportunitt" and don't plan to play until say, next month... then you are effed. I guess in this case, since it is fraudulent/criminal, steam would do something, but that's how they planned on exploiting the return policy.

In practice, Valve customer service is fucking 🐐 and if you explain to them that you got hella scammed they will prob take care of you even outside that window.
