Most demos are not giving you entirety of maps and missions.

When has a company closed down mid episodic game? Also if the game sales episodicly are successful I don't really get why any company would close down.

Also it's not as if companies have not closed down mid development before at least them making money from the episodic content would give them great reason to stay open with the added revenue vs none.

What you're basically saying is gamble the whole company full priced verses another option to make more money at the end of the day you're still getting a final game and those who want an episode we are still getting the choice to purchase parts of the game.

Also I don't know of any demos that let you play half of the game.

For all we know gamers may only want to play half of that content and realized maybe they don't care for more.

That's way better than them never playing it and once again you're still getting a final game so how exactly does it hurt anyone?

That's what I'll do. As long as it all comes together into a full story game and not just a collection of disconnected sandbox missions with numerous variations of completion, I'm good to wait for full experience.

Yeah, I'm waiting for the full game. Simply because I hate episodic releases. I did the same thing with Telltale's Walking Dead. I personally like to immerse myself into the game, rather than having to stop at some point and wait months for the next release. I think that's the same argument most people would have.

Exactly

But that's your choice to actually play it that way other people may not know what The Walking Dead is and May feel fine paying five bucks to play the first part to see if they want more.

The only joke regarding this is that you think it even affect you personally they're still making a final version so what does that actually matter how it's released? If you don't wish to play it that way just don't play it that way no one's actually putting a gun to your head in forcing you to.

That's like me getting upset that people watch shows episode per episode yet I just buy the box set collection no ones forcing you to do either or pick the one you choose.

Mind you most games are created in this format of having part by part structurally.

Consider until dawn is done in parts Gravity Rush is created and parts almost all the Metal Gear Solid games are created with this structure I would argue most games are created with such a structure that if they wanted to they actually could be done episodically.

if you prefer to play the final version why not merely wait until it's available? but I personally like the option of having multiple options I'm sorry but I don't see how this going to hurt and I'm telling you as a person that prefers to purchase my games on disk as final versions.

Walking Dead might owe lots of its success to this format I'm sure many people only played the first couple parts of walking dead and didn't care for it but at least they got to try a large portion of it and it's not as if this stopped anyone from playing the final thing.

This is sort of like the rental versus physical disk vs streaming vs download argument.

Having one preference doesn't somehow destroy another method if you like to get your games through physical that's completely fine I don't understand why a streaming or rental option would hurt you if you're not even playing it that way anyway.

Why does somebody else enjoying another method hurt you if you are just purchasing it a final version anyway?

Dude why are you insisting people pay for free demos. Are you corporate?
