FREE Age of Empires 3 Definitive Edition

Don't get your hope up - it's just the 50GB game demo

[Birdy the mighty]

What can you do with that?

It literally says it's a Trial version in multiple spots on the store page. It's pretty clear what it is.

Just tried the trial version. It works fine, the game offers you only three random nations in a week. But you can play it normally even in Multiplayer.

What else did you expect by the free version of the game? Wanna have more? Buy it.

- 3 civs that rotate weekly (currently France, Russians and Haude)
- 8 maps
- First Act of the Campaign
- One Historic Battle
- Complete Art of War tutorial
- Unranked Multiplayer (you can play with people who own the full version)

And well @OP ... the store description literally calls it a trial version.

"Demo", a good definition.
They would have done better to leave the game as it was and release a demo.
Free-to-play mode is good for mobile devices, not for PC games, at least not for this one. AoE has always been a one-time-pay product, even if continually expanded, to excess. After all, so-called "DEs" are little more than additional DLC, a way to sell the same game twice.
I'm not saying creating it once, but certainly saving much of the design, and even some of the implementation.

F2P version is a great way to advertise the game and expand the playerbase

I still remember the original demo. It had British and Spanish and two missions from Amelia's campaign. So no, it's not the demo.

That's... that's what they did. I don't understand.

I don't understand if you didn't understand my comment or what the game publisher had done.

In the sense that some games are sold at a certain price, plus they have a "Demo" button so you can play a preview of the full game. Here instead they put the demo as the base game and put the full game... well, what was once the base game, as one of the DLC.

Yeah, if you password-protect your lobbies. Singleplayer obviously also works
