Why do people refuse to pay for online?

How is a demo and renting a game remotely the same?  A lot of singleplayer games can be finished in a weekend.  Not to mention demos are generally free on PSN and PC.  Unless I am missing something and XBL lets you download and play a full game for X amount of time.  Actually, can't silver accounts access some demos?

 

 well the psn doesnt have army of 2 and bad company...I think thers more but I can't think of any...

 

It has Bad Company, or at least it did.  The demo had single and multiplayer.

How does playing a demo and renting a game equal each other? There are reasons to pay for online, demos are not really one of them.

 

 they = each other because they both tell me if I want this game or not...

How does that equal each other though?  One actually gives you the ability to play the entire game, and the other just gives a small snapshot of what the game will be.  Not to mention a great game could have a mediocre demo and vice versa.
