Anno 2070 would show your statement to be incorrect.
I will be shocked if that actually works.
ghost recon future soldier, so bad.

Looking that game, it seems it's a PC exclusive, and made by a company that is not solely owned by Ubisoft, so there's the exception.
Under the exemptions:
"For the supply of audio or video recordings or computer software if they are unsealed by the consumer;"
Debatable how that can be interpreted.

The DSR doesn't cover digital items..

Might work if you get some unawares support person.. but they're not required to give you a refund by law.

He got lucky because DSR doesn't apply here.
I tried playing GRAW 1 before on PC after having liked it on Console.
Seriously the game wouldn't even do anything, literally broken.
See I dont get this. Why is software immune to statutory rights? If you dont like a game, no ones fault. But if it is flat out broken and unplayable, a refund should be available.
I have to agree on this one, the first game ive bought on release in a long time and it really is a mess, you cant even get a game at the moment as the patch version between the steam and retail are different, the grenade throw key in the hud even shows as left bumper constantly, its redic....
edit: campaign performance is a joke, cutscene compression is embarrassing and some of the videos didn't play audio for me.

Steam have given refunds before for games completely broken on release, just point them in the direction of a few threads on their forums highlighting the problems.
Barking about the DSR and getting all lawified is the wrong way to go though.
Software isn't immune, you can still get a refund on a physical copy provided it hasn't been used. DSR doesn't cover digital items because it would be so easy to defraud. Steam wouldn't have it so bad as they can just revoke your licence for most games. If digital items were covered by DSR can you imagine how shafted some companies would get?
* Scumbag buys game from gog.com
* Downloads
* Burns to disk
* Writes email "Dear gog.com, I am unsatisfied with the game I purchased"
* Casts DSR card and gets refund
* Plays game
Worse than piracy, it's fraud, and bet your bottom dollar people would do it. Same for any DRM free digital item, what's to stop someone downloading an album and then demanding their money back. Under DSR you don't need a reason.

Mismatch between Steam version and physical copy means you basically can't play it online if you have the steam version.

Your right, obviously, the DSR applying to software wouldn't be the way to go.
But there has to be something to keep software publishers in line.
Considering they were not even going to release this on PC at all when first announced, I can't say that I'm shocked that this is poorly ported.
Breaks my heart to see the Tom Clancy games going further down the pan with each iteration, what was a series that could hold its own with the best tactical shooters on the format are now reduced too unrealistic arcadey third person cover shooters.
Anyone who wants to go back to the older style Tom Clancy games should check out Ground Branch on Kickstarter & back it with as much as you can afford.
