As far as "hooking" people, I think the demo is long enough to show people what the game has to offer and let them make an informed decision for themselves.

Understood. And probably quite true. Its certainly standard enough in the biz.
But the demo allowing full play was a point that made it easy to get people to try Dom 1 in the newsGroups. I think the Dom 1 demo was adequatly limited that it got people to buy the full Version if they liked the game. There werent alot of demo MP games running.

When it comes to not replacing the full game, well, should it really be expected to?

Im not sure I follow that.....

I totally agree and have made the same speech often in the newsGroups.

I think this comment shows the similarity of our positions. It sounds so much like the things I often said over the Last 1.5 years in the newsGroups

I didn't say a word about the demo being limited in any way aside from a turn limit. I firmly believe people will be satisfied with the amount of game play the demo offers, and since it will be public sooner or later, those are words I am obviously willing to stand by when everybody has had a chance to judge it for themselves.

Thats probably true but everything has its pros and cons. I feel that the previous way the demo was done had alot of advantages. Im not sure that going to standard demo methods will be an improvement. OF course the new pricing could be a big factor. It might be a high enough price to make people stick with a full-game demo rather than pay for one that give them higher options.
