It has less meaning now when i first thought of the idea, but the idea still holds water. Demos are a lost art, back in the day with a psm magazine you got a disk with at least 4-5 playable demos and another stack of game video teasers. Now a days if you want a demo it a full fucking download it seems for lackluster missions that doesnt really show off the games true intentions and awesomeness if it has any. Yes there are some demos out there that have 60 minute plays and its the full story, but that only happens (that I noticed) when the game is already out so a "demo" is not really a demo, just a cheap ass person who doesnt want to get the game. And then there are betas, open and closed. This is the part of the talk that sort of falls apart. Quite a few games have betas plenty before release, i just never happen to catch them. Still, ANY multiplayer game should be required to have an open beta that is actually playable, Im looking at you Call of Duty, and not just fucking a CoD XP event, no. Just No, imi not gonna spend 50 dollars for a demo..fuck you
