@21: You can't stand "collective whining"? Has it occurred to you that those with complaints actually have legitimate issues with the demo? Or are you simply discounting their voiced concerns simply because you don't personally share them? People are entitled to be disappointed - if they look forward to a game and discover it's not what they hoped it would be, they have every right to express their opinion on such. If a majority don't like it, are they automatically wrong because one other person DOES like it?

Ultimately, a demo is supposed to be a reflection of the final product - a "preview" of what to expect. If the demo doesn't attract people's interest in buying the full product, what's the point of releasing one at all? If a demo is released and it's full of problems, it's only natural that people who discover such be wary of the final product as a result. Money may grow on trees for some to freely splash out on bug-filled or mediocre games, but most people don't enjoy that luxury. They want quality for their cash.
