Pre-ordering games you're really excited about makes sense, but so does canceling said pre-order once you get suspicious that a game won't turn out (http://www.joystiq.com/game/aliens-colonial-marines) to be any good. Changing your mind used to be a bit of a process on Steam, since canceling pre-orders required going through the service's support system. That seems to have changed, though - Steam users have reported (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3219981) the surprise appearance of a "Refund an item" button that displays on a user's store transactions page.
Reddit user lak3108 posted (http://us.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/1w0zij/steam_client_now_offers_self_refunds_for_preorders/cexpj26) an image from his Steam account showing his refunded Resident Evil 4 HD (http://www.joystiq.com/game/resident-evil-4)purchase. The image states the funds were refunded as a wallet credit that can be used toward future purchases.
Shortening transaction processes will always be a welcome thing, so it's great to see that people can manage their Steam shopping with a bit less hassle. Just don't pre-order everything you've ever wanted and then change your mind once a game you forget about releases.
