No Far Cry 2 Demo

Eurogamer has word from Ubisoft's Clint Hocking that we should not expect a demo version of Far Cry 2, as this is another of those open-world style games the won't readily scale to a sample version: "One reason is, even if we were to give out what you played today - even if we put invisible walls around it and said, here's the demo, you can go anywhere you like inside these walls and play it how you want - that's potentially right there eight-to-ten hours of gameplay. I don't know too many people who are willing to give away a 12-hour game for free."

Well I hope they're willing to accept the fact that their tough decision will ultimately result in decreased sales.

And you know this how? Their advertising budget may have been put to better use for all we know. Obviously if you reduce it to demo / no demo then it's better to release one (if it's a good game) but the lack of a demo is simply not a reasonable criticism without knowing the full details of their business model.
