    Demos will also appear across Steam in various places, acting as if they’re a free game. So you can expect to see them in charts like New & Trending and across all the tags

    That sounds incredibly obnoxious.

        That would be good.

        I’m not complaining about them improving the platform or trying to make developers more willing to do demos. But I also don’t want demo spam clogging up my browsing in addition to all the free to play trash.

    I mean if it makes demos easier to find, then I’m all for it.

    I’m always down to try a game for free. I feel like I took that shit for granted when I was a kid.

      Hopefully it also means they are more likely to stay up. During one of the next feats I downloaded a few demos to try later, but as soon as the fest ended I need to purchase to play some of them. I guess as the demo was just the main game, but set as a demo.

        I hate that shit. The Paleo Pines demo is the first twelve days, which is about 3-6 hours of gameplay. You can save your game in the demo, and it’ll carry over to the full game.
