Steam adds more functionalities to demos. Demos can now have their own page and reviews
Making demos an even more powerful and flexible marketing tool
Bring on the rise (return) of demos!
Demos for all!
Seems counterintuitive to have a full page for a demo :/
Yeah I thought so, too. But this does come with the pretty big benefit that the demo will have it's own reviews. Which is cool. I like that. And to be fair, they already showed up as their own entry in search results as if they had a page, they just then also went to the same page.
I’ve noticed getting a demo installed with proton enabled to kind of an issue. This should solve that, though there are are ways that could be fixed.
I wonder if this will reduce the "prologue" spam or exacerbate it...
I don’t know, but this feels like a step back. I haven’t downloaded/played a demo since, like, 2005. There’s usually a gameplay video or review on YouTube that suffices before I purchase something. Ymmv :/
Demos are good to see how they run on your setup. I prefer to play a demo myself than watch a clip before I buy.
