Buying decision, not so easy...

I don't like playing with the turn limit, wich means that I don't play the SE4 demo that much. But I still think that you should keep the turn limit. Why? Because after playing the 100 turns, and want more you scream "I want more!" and buy the game.
Now, since the game isn't out yet the ONLY thing we can do is to scream "I WANT more!" over and over again. So you'll end up with waiting for the full release: 1st November
(I wanna have that game!!!)

I can't say for sure, but there were many people who posted, while SE4 was still in the beginning phases and into the beta, that they *never* bought SE3 because the demo didn't have a turn limit. How do you think MM would respond?

If they'd put a tech limit, or a map limit instead of a turn limit someone would have been upset. I remember many complaints about the SE3 demo because of the tech limit. I guess it's a case of you can't please everybody all the time.

Not everyone needs so much resources to make a decision like you.
I for my part decided to buy this game in the moment it has been announced and it was clear that it isnt real time.
The demo is a nice addition, but not necessary for me for buying SE4.
Fact is that if you dont buy it, you will miss one of the best 4x games ever (if not THE best) only because a demo (which is sometimes available in todays games and sometimes not) quits after 100 turns.
