Can you refund a steam game and still play it?

Technically yes, but it's of limited value to do so. You have 2 hours of play time for refunds, but it tracks your play time through any number of times you own the game. If you play for an hour, refund the game, buy the game again, you only have 1 more hour left before you can't refund it again.
