Hi, You have to ask yourself, thogh, how many sighted people were skeptical enough not to buy it in coparison to the number who do. Sure, companies like Sony make more than a tidy profit for such games, but you have to consider the relative numbers. Comparing everything in the audiogames market to the mainstream market just does not always work.

While I definitely understand and can appreciate the value of a demo, remember that tons of mainstream games never have demos. they're sold on physical media, typically cost upwards of 50 dollars, and yet, they're making a killing in profits. I think the audio gaming community's just been spoiled by demos in the past, so can'tt countance the idea of trying a game on pure faith based off of trailers and word of mouth. I buy a lot of games for my Playstation, and have never complained that there wasn't a playable demo for me to gauge its effectiveness. Sure, sometimes you find games that cost way more than they deserve, or that completely fail to impress altogether, but this is the deal with products all across the board. Ever bought a pie to discover you hated the filling? Imagine the cost of food if stores were required to have samples of every item you wanted to purchase. Myself, I'd rather the developer devote fully to making the product, rather than forcing him to make a product, plus a crippled offshoot.
