Re: Demo ?
Just a quick FYI (if I am allowed to say it):
The demo is expected to be about ~60 megs, so you dial up folks might want to get ready for one of those all day download things (I had to do it before). Or if you have a lot of downloads to do all at once, just get a disc burned with everything (some sites do it for you, for a fee).
Us broadband types will yawn in the ~40 secs it will take... Mwhahahahaha

We did magazine advertising and it is an utter waste of money. One of the reason the PC game market is dying is because publishers spend WAY too much money on advertising that doesn't work.
And don't get me started about demo CD's. They work less than magazine advertising does.

Oh really. I first found SE3 on a demo CD.  |

Re: Demo ?
Just ask Aaron about his experience with DO and PC Gamer.
Seriously demo CD's are an utter waste of money in a magazine. Especially when they cost, at a minimum, 5000 dollars to put on a cover CD.

Re: Demo ?
it wouldn't be financially sound to release it buggy.
SO GET OUT OF THE DEMO, TAERA!

Re: Demo ?
SE4 had a lot of bugs when it came out... still managed to become Shrapnel's top seller by far...
