I was emotionally scarred by a demo once :) .

Yeah old story but so what.

I bought the magazine just to get Steel Panthers on cd. 11 bucks later and all I had was a magazine filled with crapola I could care less about and a cd that didn't work. And a company that said snail mail them the particulars so they could explain to me what they thought was the problem (like it wasn't already clear, their low value cd didn't work).

My question for those that WANT a demo, is would you pay for it?

Demos are not free eh, it costs someone something.

Would you pay 10 bucks to get a limited edition demo of a real game like Korsun Pocket? Probably not. You would expect to be able to download the file for free from the source of course.

Bandwidth isn't free though. And we all seem to forget that. I am not sure what David has invested in providing Matrix Games as a location on the Net, but I do know it isn't free.

When Matrix Games has a brand name the equal of Hasbro, maybe then I will expect them to deliver frills that come easy to conglomerates.

Until then David, keep on doing business as you are doing. I am happy with it.
