That is so true. I would totally refuse to load a game for free through piracy no matter the circumstances. The people who make these fine games deserve pay for their work.

Not every game is fine. It is actually very hard to discern whether a game is good or not before you have actually played the original.

Why?
1) There are certain game magazines which(not to say most) sell their honesty for exclusive demos or a bag of money

2) Demo games, as already said below, have a tendency to hold more content than the rest of the game. Those of you who remember Quake 1 will surely agree that the first episode you got for free had more content then the other ones afterward. It even had it's own boss, while the other episodes except the Last one had none. I was very disappointed after I bought the game. Same thing with diablo 1 and the butcher / undead king (can't remember the name). 2 unique bosses in the demo levels, no more after that till you meet diablo.
