    I'm kinda surprised Valve hasn't repurposed their discovery queue system to providing a selection of demos featured in an event but presented in the context of a demo disc. There could be both a curated and completely random disc per user so people can both experience something completely new or familiar. All using technology Valve already uses, just limiting the data set to games featured in an event.

    It's crazy when publishers try to sell demos as a 'pre-order bonuses' rather than as enticements to encourage you to buy games... Although, I do wonder if the big improvements in game streaming might bring back some of this (particularly as it somewhat eliminates the storage/download constraints demos have too)

      Because they know that their new AAA game is not that great so they can't let you try it before you buy or you'll realize how mediocre it is and you definitely won't buy it.

    Lucas, just like you I also tried out demos from this festival for the first time this year and I really enjoyed my time with them (Ghostrunner was so fun) and I pretty much agree with everything you said in the video. Sure we don't know how these demos turn out for the developers but for gamers, it's a lot of fun because one gets to experience an interesting-looking game directly instead of just watching their cinematic trailers, choreographed gameplay etc. *Game Festivals is genuinely a cool idea which needs more attention from both gamers and the press.*

    I didn't even realize all these shows wouldn't be around as usual this year... I have no patience for the awful delivery and endless padding. Demos are much better for me. For real, I've encountered so many interesting games due to demos. Did I buy all of them? No, because a lot of them were outside my preferred genres, but it was fun to experience different things for once.
    I'd say my most successful demo experience was CrossCode. Saw a random video on it, found out they had a browser-based demo, and was left wanting more immediately after I finished it. I paid full price, binged the hell out of it for over 100 hours, and bought the soundtrack. It was my Game of the Year, and it remains one of my favorite games of all time.

    I grew up in the 90's so reading a magazine and playing demos was a monthly ritual and I was actually excited about what the next month would bring. You'd think that in the internet age, demos would be way more common but no, publishers demand you spend your hard earned cash without having the slightest clue about how their game plays and feels.

    I personally feel like the abandonment of demos has contributed to the decline in quality of games in the past years, think about it, if a game is bad and someone plays a demo of the game, of course they're not going to buy it but if there's no demo then lots of devs and publishers can get away with cutting corners that the consumer won't see until they buy the game because they would never showcase those rough edges, so it's only natural that demos would hurt the sales of some of the current AAA games
    Having a demo of your game nowadays shows me that you are either confident in your game or you have a passion for it and are eager to show your creation to the world but some years ago when demos were common practice, not having one would set off a few red flags for me

    6:43 I hate this argument so much. "Demos decrease sales!" If people only need to play a half hour of your game to find out it's not worth their time, maybe make a better damn game, it's a ridiculous anti-consumer notion. Instead of making better games and being confident in your product, publishers would much rather trick people into buying unfinished and downright terrible games.

    I've never liked E3, and I've always championed demos. Buying blind is horrible for the consumer and even risky for companies, as their entire business then hinges on past reputation - any mistake they make is all consumers will have to go on. On the contrary, demos allow you to forgo past biases and just try the thing before you dedicate money to it.
    We don't need cringe compilations and pre-animated footage. We want games; let us play, _then_ we'll pay.

      And Evolve! I loved Evolve sooo much, every time I think about it I get so sad. If I got friends together who'd be down I'd play more of it right this second. Desperately hoping a spiritual successor or much better monetized follow-up comes one day.

Both of those two people he spoke highly of are dead now of suicide, one aged just 27 and the other 33. The 33 year old didn't leave a note, but the 27 year old did, apologizing, of course, but importantly the line, "I wish someone had talked sense into me in 2014," (when he transitioned). But I'm sure your "happily transitioned" friends and family mean affirming their choices is more important than helping others who, in significant numbers, as the statistics famously show, do this in a time of mental vulnerability and come to hate themselves later for having committed to something that they can't undo. But hey, I guess 40%+ is less than the opposite figure, after all. All is right in the world. :)))))
