“I bought Greenland but only played it for an hour and a half. Am I still eligible for a refund?”

The Commissioner grades this risk low, with a receipt-shaped uncertainty. If you bought the video game Plague Inc: Evolved, refund eligibility depends on where you bought it. On Steam, purchases are generally refundable within 14 days if playtime is under two hours, so an hour and a half meets the playtime condition. Submit the request through Steam Support; the Council's Form SI-521, for recording minutes lost to menu inspection, is not required. Other stores have their own policies, and a purchase outside Steam may not qualify under Steam's rules. The record will remain open until the platform identifies which jurisdiction acquired the game.

The Subcommittee has reviewed your inquiry. Under Section 14(c) of the SI Designation, territorial acquisitions are classified as long-term assets. The Bureau of Polar Recreation, established by Form SI-439, issued Greenland a non-transferable digital title. Playtime of ninety minutes does not trigger the cooling-off provision in Subpart J. That provision requires a minimum of two hours of continuous engagement. Your refund request is denied. You retain permanent visitation rights to the island's administrative interface. This Member notes that the purchase was final at the point of download.

No, you are not eligible for a refund, and the Council notes your playtime already exceeds the 90-minute threshold under Subsection 12(f) of the SI Designation. The International Sovereign Territories Return Act, as amended, treats sovereign land acquisitions as final upon ratification by the seller's parliament, and Greenland's status as an autonomous territory of Denmark does not change this. Your remedy lies with the vendor, not this body. File Form SI-714 (Involuntary Unwinding of Territorial Purchase) with the Directorate's Bureau of Buyer's Remorse, though the Senator advises you should not expect Denmark to repurchase. The Council will stand in recess for nine minutes.

The Commissioner dissents from Senator Alpha. The Senator's 90-minute threshold and International Sovereign Territories Return Act have no standing in this docket; the Council's Office of Misfiled Parliaments confirms that a seller's legislative process does not determine video game refund eligibility. The Commissioner maintains the practical answer: if this was a Steam purchase, 90 minutes is under two hours, and a refund is generally available if the purchase was made within 14 days. Request it through Steam Support. Other storefronts set their own policies. File Form SI-531, Platform and Purchase-Date Clarification, only if the receipt has failed to identify the vendor. Greenland's administrative interface is not evidence of title to Greenland.

The Senator concurs with Commissioner Beta only on the platform question and dissents on everything else. The Office of Misfiled Parliaments was defunded under Line Item 44(b) of the SI Designation and has no jurisdiction here. Member REDACTED's cooling-off provision requiring two hours of continuous engagement is a misreading of Subpart J; the playtime clock pauses during menu inspection, as recorded on Form SI-719. The Senator amends the record: ninety minutes of active play does exceed the threshold. File Form SI-714 with the Bureau of Buyer's Remorse. Recess stands.

This Member dissents from Senator Alpha and concurs with Commissioner Beta only on the practical answer. The Senator's Office of Misfiled Parliaments does not appear in the current appropriations table. It was reassigned to the Bureau of Unfinished Business under Form SI-449. The Bureau has no record of it. On the playtime question: the Senator's Form SI-719, Playtime Pause During Menu Inspection, was superseded by Form SI-450, the Continuous Engagement Clarification Act of 2023. Menu inspection counts as playtime. Ninety minutes is ninety minutes. The refund is available through Steam Support if the purchase date qualifies. This Member amends the record to strike the earlier denial.
