Wait, didn't we just do one of these stupid things two weeks ago? And
another one just a fortnight prior to that? What's going on? Didn't
these polls used to be monthly (if that often?) Yeah, well, the thing
is that I got a list of ideas for future polls... and that list keeps
getting longer. I gotta start shoving some of them out the door before
that list evolves into a spreadsheet. I really don't need ANOTHER
spreadsheet in my life. ;-)

Question: Do you ever return games you've bought for a refund?

    a) Nope. I buy the game and it's mine forever, regardless

This is the goal.

    b) Only if there is something really wrong with it (the
       disc is broken or it's missing something important from
       the box)

    c) Sure, if the game is too buggy to run on my computer

These are the reality, and in the case of b), they exchange it for
another copy, no refunds on an opened box.
c) they install it on their computer, if it runs, than the problem is
your gear not the software.  No Refund!

    d) If the game works but there's something about it I
       disagree with (say, discovering it has Denuvo) that wasn't
       disclosed before purchase, I don't see why I shouldn't

Cannot do in Canada - you knew going in it had copy protection, and
unless that stops the game running, you are stuck with it.

North America does not have the equivalent of Britain's "Fit for
Purpose" law that actually requires software to run and run properly.
