Bigger DEMO button on store pages for games with demos.

[thiccframes]

I recently tried to find a demo on a newly released title for a game and could not find the demo button next to all the purchase options and information. Prioritizing the presentation of the demo button would be a benefit to people who are here to try the game before purchasing it.

Thanks for the listings, I'm referring to the download demo buttons on the game pages on the store.

But they are big green boxes you can't miss on the store pages.

the 'download demo' buttons are blue. i dare you to try to find on a store page since you might not have seen one before.

the one i am specifically referring to is found on the Spiritfarer Demo store page.

EDIT: I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO BE SPECIFIC AND CALL OUT A GAME LIKE THAT

No. not all have that. Seems to be the games that were in the festivals that have that. I know Neo Scavenger also doesn't have that. At first I thought that it was a recent addition, but Spiritfarer is a recent game (which I have wishlisted, as it looks like a lovely game).

It's hidden away to the side on many store pages.

ETS was definitely not in the Festival and the demo is outdated as hell. Seems more like a configuration option for the studios.

I think he's talking about game like this. Where the blue "demo" button is on the side panel.

It should be more prevelant. As in, above the purchase options. As in, I would like to associate this demo with my account.

Uhm, what else?
I am talking about the very first option on the store page. Which is the demo.

So what you want already exists and is possibly just a configuration on the studios' side.

I have no idea, I want them all to be listed as demos equal to the other purchasing options listed.

You presented me with the purchasing embedded panels which are not the demo downloading buttons and you asked "Is it, though?"

I AM SO THUROUGHLY CONFUSED IT IS NOT FUNNY

It is up to the game dev to decide which one to use...

Once released, the demo can show up as new in the demo section. Clicking on the demo capsule in the store will take users to the main game's store page where there's a demo button on the side or above the purchase options ...

(configurable by you).
