Wasn’t 14/30 days only for subscription/mmo games? From what I recall demos of single player games had from 15 minutes up to 2 hours, depending on the size of the game. That or where applicable it held only first chapter/first few levels.
I heard that if you “overuse” it though, steam will lock you out of that feature. With cases of using it 10 times / month being seen as overuse. Not sure how real that is though, or if these 10 times were exception.
True. My son has refunded so many games that he doesn’t like, they locked his debit card from the account and I don’t think it can be reinstated. We have to buy the games for him now with our cards.

Other people have Xbox, PS, Nintendo…. Not to mention, 2 hours is not enough to trial a game
