After all, it is a marketing tool designed to convince people to buy the game. Realistically it isn't that much different from a movie trailer and, while there have been several movies I can remember with bad trailers that I really enjoyed, most movie trailers are far better than the actual movie is. It is fair to argue that someone shouldn't judge a game based on a leaked copy of a beta version of the game, but something that was released by the company to encourage sales is fair game ... |
Well for multiplayer games the "demo" is just more of a beta testing tool. Mostly used to perform stress test and other things from i've heard. I agree with you that if people don't like the demo there is not much incentive to buy the game.
