No Demo?

It was announced months ago that there will be no demo. Whether or not we want one is moot. This poll is pointless.

As is just about everything else in this forum. I can't wait for the game to come out so there's at least a point to all the b*tching.

It would only delay game release. And after release, I'll buy civ3 as soon as I can (depending on european release), so I don't need a demo.

No demo always sucks. Very few games I buy without a demo, or trying at a friends.

However quite a few demos have saved me the money I would have spent on them. Like SMACABRD for example.

for an unknown game, a demo generates revenue

for a known game, like Civ3, it brings some and removes others. Also the work to make a small footprint demo for such a multimedia centric game would not be worth it, not to mention the code to limit the amount of time one could play and to prevent the demo from being cracked into something else.

No demo makes sense when you have as many good screenshots and people like Dan giving us good information.

The SMAC demo worked just great for a TSB, put me right off buying the game till it was reduced.

I tried that demo and it really sucked big time, did the game suck that much too, I don't know never tried it!

The SMAC Demo was horrible, it made me almost not want to buy the game, because you couldn't get anywhere. The same would happen for a Civ3 demo.
