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.
