The gist of it is this:

You can return a game within 24 hours of trying it.

Within the first 7 days of purchasing it

Within the first 7 days of pre-ordering it.

The catch is that it is for which ever comes first. So if you immediately play a game, then the 7 days window does not apply to you. Only the 24 hour one. Also, it is only for EA published games.

Hello? Hi Satan. Oh it is? I'll tell everyone. Bye.

Satan wants me to tell everyone Hell has frozen over.

Interesting.

I'd hardly call this a one over on Steam, it's a safe guard for stupid people who rush out to buy games day 1 without no prior knowledge to how good/bad or how broken/playable or finished/unfinished the product is. If Sim City was on Steam then you'd still be able to demand a refund and Valve would have no choice in the matter.
