Our philosiphy is we want the demo to be code-wise just like the final game so you get a 100% guarantee that the game will play like the demo does. Major publishers can't always publish it.

Also we have a much longer shelf life cycle. Major publishers have to sell their games in the first few months or they loose their shirt. In our case our sales don't even start to peak until at least 6 months in a release. Sometimes longer.
Since you put it like that, it does make sense. It did seem that SEIV Gold became more and more popular as time went by, just from what I was able to tell from the forum Boards. Let's hope that PC Gamer or some other company does an early review so more people will find out about it as soon as possible.
