That's not how lots of digital downloads work, not any more at least. You can multidownload on Steam. You can multidownload from iTunes. Nobody has any problems with you making copies of digital content licensed to you, as long as it's for personal use. I'm fairly sure that's even reflected in the law over here, but I'd need to dig more to be 100% sure on that.
You're referring to games provided as a service, but you can buy them as a product too. In a box, without any sort of DRM (at least some/most of them)

False advertising is a basis for a refund, not to mention immoral. If someone is advertising a product as something else and refusing a refund then you need to contact some kind of consumer affairs place and report it to them. Two wrongs, and all that.
It's a long, complicated, frustrating process that in no way can guarantee you'll get your money back. And it's meant to be that way, because otherwise douches will abuse the system for their own profits.

The other point is that you can't really ask for a refund, because the game was bad (for example it was super boring). You can't measure that objectively, at least there aren't any standards about what makes the game boring and what doesn't. And that would be even more prone to being abused
