But, there aren't demos for some games.. I can understand the fact
that it 1) costs some more to put out a demo, 2) doesn't guarantee any
sales, but may encourage them, 3) may show the game in a "crippled"
way, and turn some people off, 4) show people that the game actually
isn't worth buying, and for the people that don't have access to a
store with a good returns policy, they won't buy the game. More on
#4... I used to buy games solely by the box, because I hate reviews in
general, I don't want someone telling me if I should like a game or
not. Now, I usually only buy games that have demos, or I do as much
homework on them as I can. I just bought Total Annihilation, and so
far I'm not disappointed. The only thing that stopped me from buying
it last week was the lack of a demo. Anymore, though, if it doesn't
have a demo or 3Dfx, it stays on the shelf for me..
