The game was falsely advertised as having all the content of Worms 3 and 4, however I was informed that only a small portion of the Worms 3 content is actually in the game.

I still have my steam code unredeemed if that helps speed the process a long, I've sent a ticket over steam regarding this matter but it has been completely ignored. I am aware that these forums are much more active, as I regularly recieve helpful advice from the admins in the Worms Armageddon forum.

They can't help you here. Just wait for the steam ticket response.

Any idea how long they should take to reply?

Steam replies can take anywhere up to 48 hours for a response (not including weekends)

Sorry to chip in here, but I'm at a loss here as to how you could possibly ask for a refund for something you haven't bought? If you have a code then that means you must have been given it for free either in a competition or given by us in good faith to review.

Do you get a code if you get the game from another Steam user as a present?

They sad also that they would introduce many 3D features later, so please don't be rude.

And what is actually missing here? And wasn't there a talk about getting the rest of content through updates?
T17 rushed to release the game, if you don't remember.

Oh, I guess there is.

That being said, you can't get a refund based on what one developer said in one throw-away line in one unscripted interview. In the same way that if a manager tells you outside of a shop that he's selling an object for a certain price, you can't buy that item for that price if he got it wrong.

I'm sure Team17 will introduce 3D multiplayer themes in a FREE update.

We have only to wait.

Please let's stay calm.

Last time I said the video was meaningless, I didn't know that the video was both after the game's release and up on the Xbox... thingamajigger.
