Oh yes there is. The first and foremost of them is that making a demo costs a good bit more money - money that could be spent on other forms of advertising. If making a whiz-bang trailer gets more game sales in than a demo, it would be downright irresponsible of a company to make a demo until they had a few good trailers already out there
Dunno, laugh or cry ? If certain Mr Kotick is reading this he`s laughing a satanic laughter for sure.
First of all, is it really so dear to make a demo? As in, take a level from a game thats complete and slap some time counter on it? Please.
Secondly, you seem to be saying in all seriousness that it`s better to brainwash the punter with some flashy BS instead giving him the chance to try the real product? Because of dev`s STARVING CHILDREN?
Wow, dude, every time I think I`ve seen it all…every time…
Not saying demos are perfect, but they sure are better than nothing/some hyped up imagery. Back in the day they were the norm and it worked ok for everyone, it seemed.
But, oh, these children. Sorry.
