Just because you say "hypothetically" doesn't mean we can't figure out what you're planning to do.

Was about to say this. It probably works but what the hell man. Scamming the system for these games?

You scam a system instead of accessing a legit product you would or would not purchase. This is worse than piracy. With piracy, there's not way to prove loss of profit, but here? You buy games, get full thing, refund, and keep them. Outright theft

I hope not.
Everyone should be happy that the option to refund exists. The misuse of this possibility to refund for any reason should not be rewarded.

Sure, you're not asking to help yourself, you want to help valve. that's BS and we all know it. stop lying, stop trying to abuse the refund system.

"and hopefully we can keep the 4 four free games"
Might want to have worded that different to make people not read it the way they do.

This is a good question. I think that this is not exploitable and here is why I believe so. While there is probably nowhere said what would happen if you tried to do this on Steam, there is a game store that allows refunds and allows refunds even for pre-orders, but there is a catch. If you pre-order, you may cancel it only 3 days before the game is released and only if you haven't received any pre-order bonus before the time of canceling your order. I know pre-orders and purchase of already released game are two different things, but I think of a pre-order bonus as of something similar to the extra free games you're mentioning here as the purpose of both is similar - they both serve simply as an incentive for purchase. I don't think that Valve itself would be too different when it comes to bonuses that come with the game, I think they would either refuse to refund if they figured that you've already activated that extra game that came with your purchase, or they would remove it from your library as well.

finally a simple rational pov thanks man. and yes hopefully they remove it when they remove the original game

if we buy Prison Architect Introversioner we get 4 free games with it and if we take a refund they will remove the original game that was purchased and hopefully we can keep the 4 four free games (they are gift copies from what i read). it think they should fix this.
Edit : Sorry to everyone , i never intended to abuse the system i just saw a bug that might be plausible. i have no intentions of using this bug or advice anyone to do so. and for everyone saying "youre an asshole and should be burned at the stake for it" i dont have the time/money/patience to do these shitty frauds for 4 stupid games. Ill be sending an email to steam about it to see to it that this is brought to their notice.
THANK YOU. I DIDNT WANT TO LOOK LIKE AN ASSHOLE BUT MY POOR CHOICE OF WORDS REALLY DIDNT WORK IN MY FAVOR HOPE YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND THAT. THIS COMMUNITY MEANS A LOT TO ME PRETTY MUCH THE GROUP OF FRIENDS I HAVE SO HOPE YOU ALL WILL FORGIVE ME . ONCE AGAIN SORRY GUYS I NEVER INTENDED/INTEND TO ABUSE STEAM POLICIES. HOPE YOU FORGIVE ME. GOOD DAY.
