If I recall correctly they were offering refunds for a time on Steam, regardless of date purchased/hours played when the buyout was first announced. I'm not sure if it's still available, but couldn't hurt to ask.

Also OP would have accepted tos which no doubt set out you don't own the game only a licence to access the game, once it moved off their platform they offered a refund... Shit yes but it's what everyone signed up for when they kept paying steam

ToS has been proven time and time again to mean nothing legally

The ToS can't take precedence over local consumer laws. That doesn't change the fact in most cases you only own a licence to access the game not the game itself
