How do they know who abuses their refund policy?

They can't track play time on downloaded titles at all.

I’m guessing they mean people who repeatedly do refunds. If you’re getting a refund on every game you’re probably abusing the system.

Without copy protection you can buy the game download it and then refund right away. Then you can still play the game.
