To trick people into thinking paying money to be granted the privilege of being able to play the game before anyone who didn't pre-order is a good idea, I imagine.Making demos available only to those who have already purchased the game has to be the dumbest trend of this generation.
Two recent examples. I was a big Tony Hawk game fan back in the day and was somewhat interested in buying the remake. I notice there's a demo available but it's only available to those who pre order the game. Then I'm browsing the PlayStation store and my wife notices there's a new Crash Bandicoot game, the only game she plays. Being a full price game and not something I'd typically buy, I was glad to see there is a demo available. But guess what? Only available if you buy the game....
The whole point of a demo is to convince people to buy the game so why would you make it only available to those who already bought it?
