Don’t remember that being a thing for new games ever. Demo discs were usually of games that were already out and reviewed anyway.

We may be in different regions. At least none of my peers would buy games without seeing the demo first. But you do you :) or maybe you’re right and I just misremembered.

With regards to steam, yeah that’s a good point. But not all games are available on steam. And not everyone has a credit/debit card.
