Hi Josh, Personally, I think what you are doing is more than fair. The price of the game is fairly priced for a title like Change Reaction, and really is about what I would spend for an arcade game like this. I wouldn't pay $20 for a game like this but I am sure I can come up with $9 demo or no demo. The audio demo you posted is good enough to give a basic idea of the game in action, and I think I would be willing to risk $9 on a game.
As you say though the attitudes of Windows users is most interesting. I know that many shareware and independent game developers offer demos, but that is not generally true for the entire game industry. I can remember back in the 80's and 90's buying Nintendo games that cost $40 or so with no demo and perhaps nothing more than a recommendation from a friend or classmate that such and such game was good. Even today when my wife and I buy games for our Wii some times we throw down $19 on a game or games based on nothing more than the description of the game on the box. So $9 is beyond fair in retrospect. Cheers!
