BoM should have playable demo

[priller26]

Agreed, no demo, no buy, especially true with the state of the game at present which is, if you wish to see if we fixed any of the issues YOU thought were important, you have to pay for the sequel. That's a wonderful business concept which inspires tremendous confidence, and may fly in the east, but a number of us don't wish to pay 40 or 50 to fix something which remains broken. It's really amazing that a company would adopt such an attitude, height of arrogance IMHO.

considering its state of performance and everything.If they had released a demo of Clod i would have tried it for a few minutes and would have gotten over it real quick.(not many could have run the game then)

Well said, but you already have the demo on your machine and paid for it !

AoA, Carguy and DavidH....oh! and Bongodrums. Seriously though, I can't see the harm in a demo for BoM, it's actually a bl**dy brilliant idea to let people try it out. Just a couple of planes on a small MP map with a few missions to show the new features off. Also, access to full options like graphics and controls of course so people can test it out on their rigs. This would eliminate a great deal of the complaints because it would throw out the "I've been robbed of my 40€ fortune for this cr*p!" arguments right out the window. Or, like many other devs are doing these days, have a "free to try weekend" on Steam where you can try the full game for a couple of days and then decide if it's worth your dough.

I know for sure, I won't be buying it day one no matter how much luthier and Co will blow it up. That first day buy trust is gone with the wind, I'll see the feedback on the boards instead and reviews of course, like simhq, which I trust.
