To add to your point:

It would be so much easier to find quality games and non-obtrusive DRM in the market if game stores were legally obligated to take returns and refund software.

Right now, it's a horrible gray legal zone. Small customer can't sue large international game publisher. Small customer can't return defective software in the store he bought it. And certainly not online. Of course this simple means the large publishers can release broken goods all day long.
