Wouldn't less people play it because they miss out on it?

>location-limited demos
This shit is even dumber.
>uhh yeah guys spend a brazillion dollars to go to bumfuckistan to play our game's exclusive expo demo for 5 minutes
Fuck off.

It lets me know that the devs don't think too highly of their game and need to rely on FOMO to get me to try it.

My friend played the Halo 1 trial for about 100 hours when he was a kid. It makes sense unless you know your game is something that you really only enjoy playing once and as a full package.

>fighting game demo
>only has like 2-to-4 characters at most (not even like 25% of the roster)
>time-limited
Even worse:
>throws you back to the title screen after you or the opponent wins

Imagine a free sample stand that had no limit on sampling

Imagine an advertisement video that has no limit on loops
