steam usually allows refunds in the first few hours of playtime, which supports this usecase as well.

Good to know. There's a big fat warning that you forfeit your right to return the game as soon as you click download.

This is in France, where there's a mandatory 14-day return window for online purchases. But there are restrictions on some items, such as media must be "unopened", and I guess downloading is considered as "opening".
