that is indeed a point tom, however if the demo is restricted to a limited amount of playing areas or timeper game (eg, 10 minutes), imho an editional limited time such as 7 days is rather overkill.
There have certainly been occasions where it's taken me quite some time to get to grips with a game, ----- particularly for something complex like Trek 2000 or Lone wolf, both of which i tried the demos of on several occasions before deciding to pay for the games. As with everything though, there's probably a reasonable compromise somewhere. Beware the Grue!
