So many TGN games with NO DEMO

from Stardock Forums
Ive seen a sudden influx of games on TGN that do not have any kind of demo for them. Even games that used to have demos are now devoid of demos. What is going on with this? I can only hope there are just some issues with the software, because its a much less attractive system if I have to 'buy blind' and hope the game does suck.



Sure, demos can hurt bad games, but thats the point, if you dont give me a demo, Im going to assume the game sucks.

So many? Just looking at the full games list on TGN, I see only five or six games that have no demo, but could use one. The only other products lacking a demo are the GC1 expansion (just play the GC1 demo), GC2:DA (still in early production), and the Powergamer pack (just get the demos for the individual games).

All the rest (more than FIFTY games) have demos.

Yes, I'm not following here myself.   The only games that don't have demos are some of the casual games and the expansion packs. The casual games don't have demos here because their demo versions are simply DRM versions of the full game. Since the sales mechanisms for those point elsewhere (and promote competitors), we've opted not to carry them.
