limited time to play demos? are serious???

[JolyJew СлаваУкраине]

what an incredibly dumb idea. the whole point of demos is to try out a limited version of a game for free.
what's why demos are ALWAYS FREE.

if a demo is available only for 4 days, whats the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ point? i want to try out new games when i feel like it, not when some arbitrary event forces me to.
this is just dumb

Free weekends are not demos, they are free trials.

these aren't free weekends tho, these are just demos it's explicitly stated as such

What game?.

Have you considered, OP, that games are included that usually don't even *have* a demo and that you now have the courtesy to play a demo?

So you can complain that these demos are timelimited in this event, or simply not have a demo at all.

This event was done at very short notice so most developers involved have put together a demo for this very purpose. The games aren't even released or finished and they will likely get proper demos when they are.

Stop moaning about free things.

demos are SUPPOSED to be free. the whole point of a demo is for you to want to buy the real thing.
paying for a free sample is dumb as hell.
having limited time to try these free samples for free is even dumber

The demos are free. Go play them instead of moaning here.

Dude, seems like you don't get the intention of this event...
Those demos were made just for this event and the games behind the demos aren't even finished yet, some are still FAR from being finished.

Compare it to a convention like the E3, just digitalized: as long as the event lasts you can play those demos and you can get the first insights, but when the event was finished, you have to wait until the devs give out another demo or even the whole game.

Right now you're moaning about free stuff, the unique chance to test completly new and unfinished games. And you're complaining? What a shame...

Well what consequences do you imagine for these "dumb" choices you don't agree with? Are they going to sell fewer games? Are their games going to fail miserably now? Are all the participants going to end up working as greeters at Wal-Mart? Or you just don't like it and there's not real consequences for upsetting you?

But these are not demos, Its the full game you get to try out for free in 4 days. Demos have like 1-3 missions and very small area you can play around in majority of the time. So these free weekend where available forever why would you buy the game then?

[Dr.Shadowds 🐉]

Free weekend is limited time trials to the full game.
Demos has no limited time, and are not the full game.

Also how about don't be vague about what you're ranting about, and tell us the exact name of the game, so we can see what you're ranting about.

Something being free doesn't mean it has to exist forever.

It still looks incredibly pathetic to hype this up. Demos...who in this day and age, with refunds being a thing, plays demos anyway?
