Quoting: slaapliedjeSteam has had Demos for a long time, but of course it has depended on the developer. So is the Trial just time limited "you can play the first 30m of the game" Seems like it'd be much easier to deal with, that's for sure (from a developer's point of view). Wonder how this works with Early Access games... Like do they renew the trial whenever there is a huge new patch?On the one hand, it might be better to just play the actual game (albeit for a limited time) than the demo (case in point: Dying Light's demo was not especially convincing, because the player was dropped into the middle of a late game mission; playing the game since the beginning was much more enjoyable and I was very glad I eventually bought it despite playing the demo), on the other hand in some games it takes 1h to get through the introduction, and also the time is still flowing if you need to step away from the computer and leave the game open (young parents probably know it all too well). We'll see how it goes.

Quoting: rea987IDK, there are so many abandonware titles related with Activision due to licensing issues, I would prefer Activision to be absorbed by Microsoft which might lessen the issue a bit.Damn, there goes my hope for The Lost Vikings 3. :cry:

Looks cool, I'll play the free puzzles for sure. If there was an option to buy the rest then why not, but monthly sub is a no-go.
