After 5 attempts trying to get a refund from steam they came back with the following instead of the previous 5 copy/pasted response about time played.
Hello,
I can understand you may be disappointed with the game not living up to your expectations, but we have not received any unique instructions how to proceed with refund requests and we are following standard refund policy for this product. As this is the case, you have accrued too much playtime to qualify for a refund. I know this is not the outcome you were expecting and for that I apologize. If anything changes, this will be surely announced by the publisher.
If you would like to discuss this further, we recommend contacting the game support. I hope that CD PROJEKT RED will be able to provide you with some sort of resolution, or at least provide more insight on your situation. If they respond and are unable to help, feel free to show us what they say and we will try to investigate further.
If you have any further questions, please let us know.

I guess we just need to put pressure on CDPR.
I'd buy the game again in the future if its fixed but atm i want my money back for a game i was promised that was not delivered. I stopped preordering games long ago but i thought this was a safe bet. NEVER AGAIN! and if CDPR dont do something about this I wont by another one of there games ever.
