truepcgaming - Where Have The PC Demos Gone?
If you are a gamer in general, you know demos are also available via consoles. There are many examples of multi-platform releases that will include a PS3 and XBox 360 demo, but the PC gets left out. The recent announcement from EA stating that Crysis 2 will have a demo exclusive to Xbox Live is just another slap in the face to PC gamers who supported Crytek and other companies who have their roots in PC gaming. With the lack of PC demos being released and the increase of console demos, one has to wonder if developers simply no longer care about the PC as a gaming platform.

Welcome to the reason I do not zero day/preorder PC games anymore. I have been burned way to many times on shit games, buggy games, games that flat out don't work to dive in head first like I used to. Perfect example is Dead Island. So glad I did not preorder that game. Don't think I ever will. Unless it hits some $10 Steam sale.
