You're entitled to digital backups of physical disk media in Aus as far as I know, and that's something that I fully support. Other than that... why should physical games be under any special rules? If you break your chair you buy a new one. Even then, don't lots of boxed PC games come with Steam/Origin/UPlay codes these days?
If a game doesn't live up to your expectations then that's life. I was incredibly disappointed by Diablo 3 on launch - that didn't send me on a tirade to never purchase a game without playing it first. If you're dissatisfied by the refund process then don't buy games! Nobody is forcing you to continue to play them. If you make the decision to subvert their systems and obtain them for free, no matter how dissatisfied you are, that doesn't make it ok. Given that you're taking something that isn't yours (we've already established why saying you'll pay later isn't adequate) I feel like you are the one who should be explaining why that should ever be ok, because I'm yet to see you put pen to paper on that.
