Does anyone miss the free demos that you used to be able to play for games? Being able to try out a game so you knew whether you liked it or not was just amazing really.

I miss demos. At this point, there are a few games that will still release trials or demos, but I miss being able to get one for pretty much anything to see if I would even like the game before having to shell out $50+ for a copy. I used to subscribe to Playstation Magazine, PC Gamer, and Xbox Magazine specifically for the Demo discs they used to include with each issue.

We still get them, though are a pain to download. I miss the days when you get random discs.

True, like with the Cyberpunk 5 hour trial where you have to download the full game to try it out. Wasted so much time downloading it to realise after the first 30 minutes that I wasn't a huge fan.

Oh I remember demos. I used to sign up for a magazine where the demos used to come in CD. And then stopped getting those because they overall costed a lot. And then online demos started. And slowly the games have stopped the demo versions completely. Now they release the version for the streamers these days.

Seems like demos/trials might become a bit more commonplace on the PlayStation because of the new PS+ tier that Sony is introducing. It's a shame that they will be stuck behind a paywall though.

Most of the good stuff is behind a pay wall, feel bad for the kids growing up.

True but at least they have some good free to play games to enjoy now. We didn't get that

The grace magic of the internet I'd say.
