Thread 723825032

If AAA devs are tired of their games flopping and think their games are so good and worth $80 why don't they put out demos?

demos take extra time and effort.
Plus dataminers exist

Digimon put out a demo that let you carry over all progress to the main game. I don't think it's an unreasonable ask

>>723825032 (OP)
AAA devs do what they are told by the people paying them. All game decisions and marketing decisions are done by owners and publishers and they know their games are shit, they are optimized to make you hope its good enough to buy it and then be disappointed just in time to hope about the next slop

Same reason they use Denuvo.
They know they can't compete if they can't bait-and-switch. Demos would mean people would be able to judge if something is shit before buying. Informed consent is the bane of corporate judaism.

Shouldn't you be protesting in Portland right now? Since you're a frog?

>>723825032 (OP)
Because it's a scam

Stupid frongigger

>>723825032 (OP)
Demos are a way crackers user to bypass Denuvo. That's how Metaphor was cracked.
