Did Bethesda use Steam for Skyrim because they knew there was going to be a LOT of PC players wanting refunds? So did they use Steam to make sure we couldn't get out money back as they knew we would want to? (Well, a lot of us anyway)

Doesn't that make them, um what's the word, shameless money grabbing people who in no way deserve out respect?

steam is a distributing platform a basic form of DRM, its a digital store, so steam has not much to say in terms of the actualy game

and to be honest im have lots of problems either, but remember its an elderscrolls game, i have yet to see an actual elderscroll game WITHOUT bugs, especially on release day/week

There are some workaround for some problems, and Basic Graphical Error's, ie flickering, or dissapearing Props, can be related to GPU drivers, so its a 2 way road

Both morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout, Fallout3 , newvegas all suffered from these problems, that can show that the engine itself, capable of showing some cool stuff isnt to reliable
The coding is weird on this engine, and by the use of Havok for physics, its a cpu hog aswell, im not a fan of havok at all, maybe some highly modded version yes , but in his relative basic From its abismal

It doesn't really matter, If the primary issues aren't fixed and steam doesn't give a refund bethesda will have to pay it out themselves, Fraud is illegal.
