Honestly, if the idea of no trials don’t bother you, there are plenty more reminders why YOU shouldn’t preorder.

I miss the days of game demos

Steam’s Next fest has brought back some demos on PC. You might not get a demo for a big IP, but you can try lots of smaller dev games without having to buy first.

I saw the rise of more demos in the store but didn’t know it’s a thing steam promoted or started. Nice.

I’ve noticed that! A lot of smaller games/indie titles offer demos or some kind of limited time trial. It’s almost like the people making those games get me 🥹

I remember playing Destiny’s Alpha version when I was invited to it. It was a fun experience but sucked when the game was mostly a let down for the first year or so.
