This post contains spoilers about the BioShock Infinite campaign.
Early on in that he refused to accept the digital baptism and demanded a refund from Valve.
"As baptism of the Holy spirit is at the center of Christianity--of which I am a devout believer--I am basically being forced to make a choice between committing extreme blasphemy by my actions in choosing to accept this 'choice' or forced to quit playing the game before it even really starts," Malmberg said.
"Of course I cannot hold true to my beliefs and also commit this act, so I am therefor[e] forced to not play the game," he added.
Malmberg then penned a letter to Valve, because he purchased the game for PC through Steam, explaining the situation. Valve reportedly gave Malmberg a full refund, though the company has not confirmed this publicly or with GameSpot.

Just like almost everyone else on planet earth, I anticipated Bioshock Infinites release for a long time. Infinite was the successor to a game which enraptured me from the very start with its unique art style and gameplay. With almost six years to think about how to proceed with the new games storytelling and direction, youd think that creative director Ken Levine would knock up something pretty special in this long awaited follow up. Sadly, he did not.
