Major bummer if this becomes true: http://www.develop-online.net/news/34545/Crytek-foresees-the-end-of-free-game-demos

I think that we’ll see more and more games not carrying a demo in the future, because it becomes prohibitively expensive.

if they already have a demo to show to journalists, why is it so expensive to release it to the public??

This is a fairly legit reason... Why does the gaming press, get exclusive stuff which can be easily distributed amongst it target audience instead?

It wouldn't make sense if they had to price the demo for the public. It would just cause an even more bigger uproar. At the end of the day, we want to know what the game feels like, looks like, plays like, so a demo would be crucial.

Putting a price tag on it just destroys the point in a demo. It shouldn't even be called a demo if it has a price tag on it.

But getting back to the matter on hand, a demo as of now is still TOO EARLY. A SP demo would usually come around the release dates month (In this case, March). It gets the people's blood pumped up.

It would seem more feasible, during the months of January - February. If it was - too close to the release date, the momentum of another waiting period would likely kill the excitement a bit.

! is there even any chance of a c2 demo at all!

If we want a Demo, were going to have to fight for it! Who's with me?

Wasn't there a Thy already a Thread about this?
